Ground System

Ground Air, Fluid, and Hydraulic Hoses Connected To Pump

Use only electrically conductive hoses with a maximum of 100 ft (30.5 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check the electrical resistance of your air and fluid hoses at least once a week. If the total resistance to ground exceeds 25 megohms, replace the hose immediately.

Use a meter that is capable of measuring resistance at this level.

Ground Spray Gun

Ground the spray gun by mounting it to a grounded reciprocator and by connecting it to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.

Ground Fluid Supply Container

Ground the fluid supply container according to local code.

The following grounding instructions are minimum requirements for a system. Your system may include other equipment or objects that must be grounded. Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding instructions for your area and type of equipment. Your system must be connected to a true earth ground.

Ground Pump

Ground the pump by connecting a ground wire and clamp between the fluid supply and a true earth ground as instructed in your separate pump instruction manual.

Ground Air Compressors and Hydraulic Power Supplies

Ground air compressors and hydraulic power supplies according to the manufacturer recommendations.

Ground Object Being Sprayed

Ground the object that is being sprayed according to local code.

Ground Solvent Pails

Ground all solvent pails that are used when flushing according to local code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.

Connect Air Line

Installation

1. Install an air/water separator and an air line filter to ensure a clean, dry air supply to the gun. Dirt and moisture in the line can ruin the appearance of your finished piece.

2. Install an air pressure regulator on each gun air supply line.

3. For manifolds with separate fan and atomization ports, the gun cylinder, fan, and atomization air must be supplied and regulated separately. For manual valve manifolds, only one supply line is required for both atomization and fan air.

A minimum of 50 psi (0.34 MPa, 3.4 bar) air pressure must be supplied to the cylinder for proper operation. Set the atomization air as needed for complete atomization of the entire pattern. The tip size is the primary controller of the pattern size. Use the fan air only as needed to slightly adjust the pattern size.

4. Install a bleed-type master air shutoff valve on the main air line. Install an additional bleed-type valve on each pump air supply line, downstream of the pump air regulator, to relieve air trapped between this valve and the pump after the air regulator is shut

off.

The bleed-type air shutoff valve is required in your system to relieve air trapped between this valve and the pump after the air regulator is closed. Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury.

5. Install a bleed-type air shutoff valve on each gun air supply line, downstream of the gun air regulator, to shut off air to the gun.

6. For manifolds with separate fan and atomization ports, connect a separate air supply line to the gun atomizing air inlet (D) and cylinder air inlet (C). Connect an air supply line to the fan air inlet (E) if desired. See F valve, only one supply line is required for both atomization and fan air.

IG. 6. For manifolds with a manual fan

The gun atomizing and fan air inlets are 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) O.D. tubing compatible. The cylinder air inlet accepts 1/4 in. (6.3 mm) O.D. tubing.

311052E 9

Page 10

Installation

Connect Fluid Line

Before connecting the fluid line, blow it out with air and flush it with solvent. Use solvent that is compatible with the fluid to be sprayed.

A fluid drain valve(s) is required in your system to assist in relieving fluid pressure in the displacement pump, hose and gun; triggering the gun to relieve pressure may not be sufficient.

A fluid pressure regulator must be installed in the system if the pump's maximum working pressure exceeds the gun's maximum fluid working pressure (see the front cover).

1. Install a fluid filter and drain valve(s) close to the pump's fluid outlet.

CYL

TI8113a

2. Install a fluid pressure regulator to control fluid pressure to the gun.

Some applications require fine-tuned control of fluid pressure. You can control fluid pressure more accurately with a fluid pressure regulator than by regulating the air pressure to the pump.

3. Install a fluid shutoff valve to shut off the fluid supply to the gun.

4. Install an in-line fluid filter on the gun fluid inlet (F) to avoid clogging the spray tip with particles from the fluid. See F

IG. 6.

5. In a circulating system, connect a grounded fluid supply hose to the gun fluid fitting. Connect a grounded return hose to the other port.

In a non-circulating system, remove the gun fluid outlet fitting (G) and plug the outlet port with the pipe plug (109) supplied.

Setup

Flush Spray Gun

Before running any paint through the spray gun:

1. Flush the gun with a solvent that is compatible with the fluid to be sprayed, using the lowest possible fluid pressure and grounded metal container.

2. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure; see page 12.

Select a Spray Tip and Air Cap

The fluid flow and pattern width depend on the size of the spray tip, the fluid viscosity, and the fluid pressure. See page 31 and page 32 for spray tip selection charts. Contact your Graco distributor for assistance in selecting an appropriate spray tip for your application.

Install a Spray Tip

Position the Air Cap

The air cap and spray tip position determines the direction of the spray pattern.

Rotate the air cap (the spray tip rotates with it) as needed to achieve the desired spray pattern direction. See F

IG. 8.

TI6558A

IG. 8

Air Cap Alignment Pin

Air caps are factory-set with an air cap alignment pin to position the air cap. The standard location of the air cap alignment pin is the vertical spray pattern.

1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 12.

2. Install a spray tip in the gun.

3. Align tip locating tab with slot on the air cap. See F

IG. 7.

4. Tighten the air cap retaining ring (8) firmly by hand to ensure a good seal between the tip gasket and the diffuser (10).

Operation

Pressure Relief Procedure

1. Turn off the air and fluid supply to the gun.

2. Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in the system).

3. Trigger the gun into a grounded metal waste container to relieve the fluid pressure.

TI8174a

Adjust Spray Pattern

The air-assisted spray gun combines airless and air spray concepts. The spray tip shapes the fluid into a fan pattern, as does a conventional airless spray tip. Air from the air cap further atomizes the fluid and completes the atomization of the paint tails into the pattern to produce a more uniform pattern.

The fan air can be used if necessary to slightly adjust the pattern size.

Air-assisted spray guns differ from air spray guns in that increasing the fan air reduces the pattern width. To increase the pattern width, use less fan air or a larger size tip.

1. Set the fluid pressure at 300 psi (2.1 MPa, 21 bar) with the fluid regulator.

FIG. 10: Pressure Relief

4. Open the pump drain valve (required in the system) to relieve fluid pressure in the displacement pump. In addition, open the drain valve connected to the fluid pressure gauge (in a system with fluid regulation) to relieve fluid pressure in the hose and gun. Have a container ready to catch the drainage.

5. Leave the drain valve(s) open until you are ready to spray again.

6. If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely clogged or that pressure has not been fully relieved, very slowly loosen the hose end coupling and relieve pressure gradually, then loosen the coupling completely. Clear the tip or hose obstruction.

For a narrower pattern, supply air to the gun fan air inlet (or open the fan adjustment valve on manifold 288223). The tip size is the primary controller of the pattern size. Use the fan air only as needed to slightly adjust the pattern size.

2. Trigger the gun to check the atomization; do not be concerned about the pattern shape yet.

3. Slowly Increase the fluid pressure just to the point where a further increase in fluid pressure does not significantly improve fluid atomization.

4. Turn on the atomizing air and set the air pressure at about 10 psi (70 kPa, 0.7 bar). Check the spray pattern, and then adjust the air pressure until the tails are completely atomized and pulled into the spray pattern. See F

MPa, 7 bar) air pressure to the gun.

For HVLP operation do not exceed 10 psi at the air cap. Use HVLP verification kit 249140 to measure the atomization pressure at the air cap.

IG. 11: Correct Spray Pattern

Apply Fluid

The spray gun has a built-in lead and lag operation. When triggered, the gun begins emitting air before the fluid is discharged. When the trigger actuation air is stopped, the fluid stops before the air flow stops. This helps assure the spray is atomized and prevents fluid buildup on the air cap and tip.

Adjust the system control device, if it is automatic, so the gun starts spraying just before meeting the work piece and stops as soon as the work piece has passed. Keep the gun a consistent distance, 8 to 10 inches (200 to 250 mm), from the surface of the object being sprayed.

Operation

To achieve best results when applying fluid:

• Keep gun perpendicular and 8 to 10 inches (200 to 250mm) from object being sprayed.

• Use smooth, parallel strokes across surface to be sprayed with 50% overlap. See F

IG. 12.
