The following general warnings are related to the safe setup, use, grounding, maintenance and repair of this equipment. Additional more specific warnings may be found throughout the text of this manual where applicable.
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent
fire and explosion:
•Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
•Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop
cloths (potential static arc).
•Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
•Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes
are present.
•Ground all equipment in work area. See Grounding instructions.
•Use only grounded hoses.
•Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.
•If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment
until you identify and correct the problem.
•Keep a fire extinguisher in the work area.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and
cause serious injury.
•Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
•Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
•Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system
component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
•Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.
•Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
•Do not alter or modify equipment.
•For professional use only.
•Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your Graco distributor for information.
•Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.
•Do not kink or overbend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
•Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual. Disconnect power or air supply.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or
swallowed.
•Read MSDS’s to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
•Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating
area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic
fumes, burns, and hearing loss. This equipment includes but is not limited to:
•Protective eyewear
•Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer
•Gloves

WARNING
Read warnings, page 4.
Follow Pressure Relief Procedure (Models 249320 and 249321), page 6, if service time may exceed pot life
time, before servicing fluid components, and before
transporting equipment to a service area.
Replacing Air Filter Element
There are 2 air filters on the unit: the 5 micron air manifold filter (7) and 40 micron pump air filter (9). Replace
element as needed. Order 15D909 5 micron filter and
15D890 40 micron filter.
WARNING
1. Close main air shutoff valve on air supply line and
on unit.
2. Remove left side plate (21).
3. Unlock filter bowl guard and remove.
4. Unscrew filter bowl.
5. Remove and replace element.
6. Screw filter bowl on securely.
7. Reassemble.
Removing the bowl of a pressurized air filter could
cause serious injury. Do not service air filter until air
line is depressurized.
