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 lights on or off when flammable fumes
are present.
•Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.
•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 working 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.
•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.
•Keep children and animals away from work area.

but is not limited to:
•Protective eyewear
•Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer
•Gloves
•Hearing protection
Setup
•Check that your shop air provides
•Use a minimum 3/8 in. (10 mm) ID air

to clean and dry the gun air supply.
Operation
Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Turn off the gun air supply.
2. Trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
Spraying
CAUTION
Excessive atomizing air pressure can
increase over-spray, reduce transfer
efficiency, and result in a poor quality finish.
Regulatory agencies in certain states
prohibit the operation of a spray gun above
10 psi (69 kPa, 0.7 bar) atomizing air cap
pressure.
1. Fill the cup with material. Do not fill past the
shoulder on cup.
2. Turn on the shop air to the gun and set
atomizing pressure with the gun fully
triggered.
1. Shut off the air supply.
2. Connect a clean, dry, filtered air supply to
the air inlet fitting (25). See page 10.
3. If this is the first time using the equipment,
flush the gun. See page 5.

3. Adjust the pattern size and shape with the
fluid adjust knob (8). Fluid adjust knob (8) is
factory set for maximum needle trigger
travel and material flow. Turn knob
clockwise to reduce pattern size/ fluid flow
and counterclockwise to increase it.
See Troubleshooting, page 7, if you experience an irregular pattern.
