WARNINGS
Equipment Misuse Hazard
Equipment misuse can cause equipment to rupture, malfunction, or start unexpectedly and cause
serious injury.
•Before operating this equipment, read all manuals, tags, and labels including material labels and
instructions.
•Do not expose system to rain. Always store system indoors.
•Do not alter or modify equipment.
•Do not spray cementcious materials.
•Do not exceed maximum working pressure of lowest rated component in your system.
•Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
•To reduce risk of serious injury, including electric shock and splashing fluid in eyes, follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 3 before servicing the unit.
•Do not use hoses to pull equipment.
•Route hoses away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts and hot surfaces. Do not expose
Graco hoses to temperatures above 130 F (55 C) or below -35 F (-37 C).
•Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local,
state and national guidelines.
•Never directly inhale compressed air. Compressed air may contain toxic vapors.
Electric Shock Hazard
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
•Be sure sprayer is adequately grounded through electrical outlet.
•Use only 3-wire, extension cords.
•Make sure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.
•Do not operate with cover removed.
•Turn off sprayer. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 3, and unplug unit, before removing any
parts.

WARNINGS
Pressurized Equipment Hazard
Fluid from gun, leaks or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and cause serious
injury.
•Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 3 when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking
or servicing.
•Do not point spray gun at anyone; put hand, fingers or rag over nozzle, or stop or deflect leaks with
your hand, body, glove, or rag.
•Wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear.
Cleaning Solvent Hazard with Plastic Parts
Use only compatible water-based solvents to clean plastic structural or pressure-containing parts. Many
solvents can degrade plastic parts to the point where they could fail. Such failure could cause serious
injury or property damage. See Technical Data on page of this instruction manual and in all other
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.
Sprayer Warnings
For sprayer operation and warning information refer to your sprayer or compressor operation manual.
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, includ-
ing electric shock and splashing fluid in eyes, follow this procedure whenever you stop spraying:
1. Shut OFF air source.
2. Disconnect power source.
3. Turn gun air valve ON.
Grounding
To reduce risk of electrical shock, proper
electrical grounding is essential. See your
sprayer or compressor instruction manual and
consult your local electrical codes for detailed
grounding instructions.

Hopper Installation
1. The Hose Plug must be
securely fastened to bottom of gun when using the
Hopper. Gun Plug must be
removed from top of gun.

It is easier to remove plug if you first trigger gun.
2. Align notched

of hopper to
raised notch on

Mixing Material
Mixing Material
Correct material mixture is essential to achieve
the desired finish.
Mix the material in a separate container before
pouring it into hopper.
Dry Mix - 40 lb (18 kg) bag.
For best results do not use partial bags of
material.
1. Slowly add one 40 lb. (18
kg) bag of texture material to 5-6 gallons
(18.9-22.7 liters) of clean
water as instructed on the
bag instructions.
2. Agitate to mix, using a
half-inch, variable speed
drill with mixing paddle, to
a smooth, lump-free consistency.
3. Allow ceiling texture to set
for at least 15 minutes.
ti2497a
Then remix prior to use.
Premix
1. Slowly add approximately 2 to 4 qts (1.9 to
3.8 liters) of water to a 5
gallon (18.9 liter) bucket
of premix.
2. Agitate to mix, using a
half-inch, variable speed
drill with a mixing pad-

Adjusting the System
Sufficient fluid output (volume and pressure) and good
atomization is a balance of atomizing air, material
thickness/material flow and nozzle selection. Achieving
the correct balance for your application requires
experimentation to achieve desired results. Keep in
mind these important points when adjusting gun:
1Select proper nozzle for your application. See
Nozzle Selection Chart. Remember, the larger the
nozzle, the heavier the pattern.
2Start with gun air flow
valve completely open. If
needed, slowly close
gun air flow until you get
a good spray pattern.
ti2448a
3Adjust air flow
adjustment nut and
air valve to achieve
uniform, round
spray pattern. It
may be necessary
to change spray
nozzles to achieve
the desired spray
pattern.
ti2475a
•When adjusting flow nut, release trigger, then
adjust.
•If adjusting while triggered, needle will turn
but provide no adjustment.
•If nut will not turn, check to see if it is either
set to maximum adjustment or there is
material on threads. Clean threads as
needed.
•Test spray pattern on cardboard. Hold gun 18
to 24 in. (45.7 to 60.9 cm) from surface. Using
a circular motion, overlap each stroke.
To Get Less Material
Try one or a combination of these methods:
•Open air valve.
•Turn gun flow adjustment nut to decrease flow,
counter-clockwise.
•Use smaller nozzle.
To Get More Material
Try any one or a combination of these methods:
•Close air valve.
•Turn gun flow adjustment nut to increase flow,
clockwise.
•Use thinner material mixture.
•Use a larger nozzle.
For Continuous Spraying
Use trigger lock to hold trigger open and reduce fatigue.
Check Material Consistency Periodically
Check and thin material as needed to maintain proper
consistency. The material may thicken as it sits and slow
down production. Agitate periodically.

Cleanup
Cleanup
When you have finished spraying
1. Shut off compressor. Disconnect air line from gun.
2. Drain remaining material into a bucket until most of
the texture material is out of hopper.
3. Fill hopper with clean water. Remove nozzle from
gun and allow water to flow through and out of gun.
4. Flush until gun is clean.
5. Remove hopper from gun and finish cleaning all
components. A soft brush may be used to help
loosen any dried on material from surface.
6. Connect air line to gun. Turn on compressor. Open
gun air valve, forcing air through tip to clear out any
remaining material.
7. Disconnect compressor.
Be sure to keep air passages in needle clean and
free of material.
To improve working condition for future use, after
cleaning, apply a few drops of light oil to:
•air hose quick disconnect
•material hose connections
•flow adjustment on gun
