INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Equipment misuse can cause the equipment to rupture or malfunction and result in serious injury.

D This equipment is for professional use only.

D Read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equipment.

D Use the equipment only for its intended purpose. If you are not sure, call Graco Technical Assis-

tance at 1–800–543–0339.

D Do not alter or modify this equipment.

D Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

D Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated system component. The maxi-

mum working pressure of this equipment is 5000 psi (350 bar).

D Use fluids and solvents which are compatible with the equipment wetted parts. Refer to the Tech-

nical Data section of all equipment manuals. Read the fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.

D Wear hearing protection when operating this equipment.

D Comply with all applicable local, state, and national fire, electrical, and safety regulations.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

Spray from the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely
serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin can also
cause serious injury.

D Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate

surgical treatment.

D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5 if the spray tip clogs and before cleaning,

checking or servicing the equipment.

D Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.

D Be sure all equipment safety devices are operating properly before each use.

Installation

NOTE: The Typical Installations shown in Fig. 1 are

only guides for selecting and installing a circulating
system. Contact your Graco representative or Graco
Technical Assistance (see back page) for assistance in
designing a system to meet your particular needs.

Install the back pressure valve (K) in the spray gun
return line (L) as shown in the Typical Installation
drawing below or at right. Using pipe sealant on pipe
threads, connect the lines to the 3/8 npt(f) inlet and
outlet. Be sure the flow direction agrees with the
markings on the valve housing.

J

If more than one spray station is used, install a back
pressure valve (K) in the circulating line (M), after the
last spray station to maintain proper system pressures.

NOTE: The two 1/4–20 tapped mounting holes on the
side of the valve housing are for mounting the valve
when flexible fluid lines are used.

The back pressure valve was tested in lightweight oil.
Flush the entire system with a solvent compatible with
the fluid being sprayed or dispensed, then test the
system.

CAUTION

The new system must be cleaned and tested thor­oughly before admitting fluid to the back pressure
valve, to avoid contaminants clogging or damaging
the valve.

Operation

NOTE: The back pressure valve controls pressure

ahead of the valve inlet. When used with XM propor­tioners, the it controls the flow across the valve.

1. Back the adjusting screw out to allow full fluid flow.

2. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the back
pressure (less flow) and counterclockwise to
decrease it (more flow).

3. Adjust the pump air pressure and the back pres­sure valve for the best spraying combination and
the proper circulation of fluid. Use the lowest
possible air and fluid pressures for your applica­tion.

4. Tighten the locking nut (3) to lock the setting.

5. Record all the settings for future reference.

NOTE: See the XM Mix Manifold Kits manual for more
information about how the valve operates as a ma­chine mounted restrictor valve.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Pressure Relief Procedure

WARNING

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

The system pressure must be manually
relieved to prevent the system from

starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid
under high pressure can be injected through the
skin and cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of
an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving
parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
whenever you:

D are instructed to relieve the pressure,
D stop spraying,
D check or service any of the system equipment,
D or install or clean the spray tip.

1. Lock the gun trigger safety and other equipment
safety locks.

2. Turn off the power to the pump.

3. Unlock the gun trigger safety.

Cleaning

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure at left.

Flush the back pressure valve whenever the rest of the
system is flushed. Before flushing, relieve pressure,
then open the valve by turning the adjusting screw

counterclockwise to open the valve.

Before removing the back pressure valve for thorough

cleaning and inspection, relieve pressure. Then
remove the valve and clean and inspect all parts.

4. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun to relieve
pressure.

5. Lock the gun trigger safety.

6. Open the drain valve (required in your system),
having a container ready to catch the drainage.

7. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to
spray again.

If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely
clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved
after following the steps above, very slowly loosen the

tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling and relieve
pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear
the tip or hose.

CAUTION

Do not allow paint or solvent to set in the system for

any extended length of time. Fluid could dry on the
valve stem, causing leakage at the stem packing. If
leakage occurs, disassemble and clean the valve.

CAUTION

Handle the hard carbide parts, valve stem tip (2) and
seat (10), carefully to avoid damaging them. Damage
will cause poor operation and leakage.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Seat and Valve Stem Replacement
(See the Parts Drawing on page 7)

NOTE: Order Kit No. 223016 to repair the back pres-

sure valve.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5.

1. Relieve the pressure. Then remove the back

pressure valve from the fluid line.

2. Unscrew the seat housing (11) from the valve
housing (1).

3. Remove the valve seat (10), spring (8), and o-rings
(7, 9) from the seat housing (11).

4. Remove the retaining ring (6) and valve stop (5)
from the valve housing (1).

5. Remove the locking nut (3) from the valve
stem (2).

6. Remove the valve stem (2).

7. Clean and inspect all parts. Replace all o-rings
with those provided in Kit No. 223016. Be sure to
lubricate all the o-rings and the spring.

8. Install o-rings (4 and 13) on the valve stem (2).
Install the stem into the valve housing (1).

9. Install the valve stop (5) over the tip of the valve
stem (2).

10. Install retaining ring (6) into the valve housing (1).

11. Slide the o-ring (9) onto the valve seat (10). Install
the valve seat into the valve housing (1), with its
inside chamfer facing towards the valve stem (2).

12. Grease the spring (8) and install it into the seat
housing (11). Install the o-ring (7) on the seat
housing. Apply sealant to the seat housing threads
and screw it into the valve housing (1). Torque to
30–35 ft-lbs (41–47 NSm).
