WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the gun/valve, hose 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 medi-
cal attention.
D Do not point the gun/valve at anyone or at any part of the body.
D Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip/nozzle.
D Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
D Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.
D Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the gun when spraying.
D Check the gun diffuser operation weekly. Refer to the gun manual.
D Be sure the gun/valve trigger safety operates before spraying/dispensing.
D Lock the gun/valve trigger safety when you stop spraying/dispensing.
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8 whenever you: are instructed to relieve pres-
sure; stop spraying/dispensing; clean, check, or service the equipment; and install or clean the
spray tip/nozzle.
D Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn, damaged, or loose parts immediately.
Permanently coupled hoses cannot be repaired; replace the entire hose.
D Use only Graco approved hoses. Do not remove any spring guard that is used to help protect the
hose from rupture caused by kinks or bends near the couplings.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts, such as the air motor piston, can pinch or amputate your fingers.
D Keep clear of all moving parts when starting or operating the pump.
D Before servicing the equipment, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8 to prevent the
equipment from starting unexpectedly.

WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in a fire or explosion and serious injury.
D Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed. Refer to Grounding on page 5.
D If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop spray-
ing/dispensing immediately. Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
D Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid
being sprayed/dispensed.
D Keep the spray/dispense area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
D Electrically disconnect all equipment in the spray/dispense area.
D Extinguish all open flames or pilot lights in the spray/dispense area.
D Do not smoke in the spray/dispense area.
D Do not turn on or off any light switch in the spray/dispense area while operating or if fumes are
present.
D Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray/dispense area.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin,
inhaled, or swallowed.
D Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.
D Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local,
state and national guidelines.
D Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and
solvent manufacturer.

Installation
NOTES:
D Reference numbers and letters in parentheses in
the text refer to the callouts in the figures and
drawings.
D Always use Genuine Graco Parts and Accessories,
available from your Graco distributor. If you supply
your own accessories, be sure they are adequately
sized and pressure-rated to meet the system’s
requirements.
D Fig. 2 is only a guide for selecting and installing
system components and accessories. Contact your
Graco distributor for assistance in designing a
system to suit your particular needs.
Prepare the Operator
All persons who operate the equipment must be
trained in the safe, efficient operation of all system
components as well as the proper handling of all fluids.
All operators must thoroughly read all instruction
manuals, tags, and labels before operating the
equipment.
Prepare the Site
Ensure that you have an adequate compressed air
supply. Refer to the performance chart on page 15 to
find the air consumption of your pump.
Keep the site clear of any obstacles or debris that
could interfere with the operator’s movement.
D Pump: Use a ground wire and clamp. See Fig.1.
Loosen the grounding lug locknut (W) and washer
(X). Insert one end of a 12 ga (1.5 mm@) minimum
ground wire (Y) into the slot in lug (Z) and tighten
the locknut securely. Connect the other end of the
wire to a true earth ground. For a ground wire and
clamp, order Part No. 237569.

D Air and fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive
hoses with 150 m (500 ft) maximum combined hose
length to ensure grounding continuity.
D Air compressor: Follow manufacturer’s
recommendations.
D Spray gun or dispensing valve: Connect to a
properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
D Object being sprayed: Follow your local code.
Have a grounded, metal pail available for use when
flushing the system.
Mounting the Pump
Screw the bung adapter (B) tightly into the drum bung
hole and tighten the thumbscrew to hold the pump
about 13 mm (0.5 in.) off the bottom of the drum.
Loosen the drum vent plug to prevent forming a
vacuum. The pump dimensions are shown on page 13.
Grounding
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Before operating the pump, ground the
system as explained below. Also read
the section FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD on page 4.
D Fluid supply container: Follow your local code.
D Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the
pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts the grounding
continuity.
D To maintain proper grounding continuity when
flushing or relieving pressure, always hold the metal
part of the spray gun/dispense valve firmly to the
side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the
gun/valve.
