Warnings
Warnings
The following are general warnings related to the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment.
Additional, more specific warnings may be found throughout the body of this manual where applicable. Symbols
appearing in the body of the manual refer to these general warnings. When these symbols appear throughout the
manual, refer back to these pages for a description of the specific hazard.
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).
•Sprayer generates sparks. When flammable liquid is used in or near the sprayer or for flushing or
cleaning, keep sprayer at least 20 feet (6 m) away from explosive vapors.
•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 equipment and conductive objects in work area. Read 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 fire extinguisher in the work area.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.
•Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.
•Use only grounded electrical outlets.
•Use only 3-wire extension cords.
•Ensure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.
•Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just
a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.
•Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
•Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
•Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
•Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
•Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
309674M3
Warnings
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. Read Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
•Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. Read Technical Data in all
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information
about your material, request MSDS from distributor or retailer.
•Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine Graco
replacement parts only.
•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.
•Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
•Keep children and animals away from work area.
•Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, and/or other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or
fluids containing such solvents in pressurized aluminum equipment. Such use can cause serious chemical reaction and equipment rupture, and result in death, serious injury, and/or property damage.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or
swallowed.
•Read MSDS’s to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
•Store hazardous fluid in approved containers and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating
area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic
fumes, burns, and hearing loss. This equipment includes, but is not limited to:
•Protective eye wear
•Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer
•Gloves
•Hearing protection

Grounding and Electric
Requirements
The sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces the
risk of static and electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electrical current due to static build up or in
the event of a short circuit.
The sprayer power cord
an appropriate grounding contact.
includes a grounding wire with
Power Requirements
•100-120V units require 100-120VAC, 50/60 Hz,
15A, 1 phase
•230V units require 230VAC, 50/60 Hz, 7.5A, 1
phase
•Never use an outlet that is not grounded or an
adapter.
Only use an extension cord

3-wire, 12 AWG (2.5 mm
Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may
reduce sprayer performance.

The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Do not use an adapter.
TIC
Do not use the sprayer if the electrical cord has a damaged ground prong. Do not modify plug. If it will not fit in
outlet, have a grounded outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded surface such as concrete.
Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such

Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce risk of injury from injection, follow this procedure whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure,
stop spraying, service equipment or install or clean
spray tip. Read warnings, page 3.
1. Turn power switch OFF and unplug power cord.

3. Engage gun trigger lock if unit is being shut down or
left unattended.
Leave Spray - Prime/Drain valve in the
PRIME/DRAIN position until you are ready to spray
again.
If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged or that
pressure has not been fully relieved after following the
steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen tip guard retaining
nut or hose end coupling to relieve pressure gradually,
then loosen completely. Clear hose or tip obstruction.

General Repair Information
General Repair Information
Flammable materials spilled on hot, bare motor could
cause fire or explosion. To reduce risk of burns, fire or
explosion, do not operate sprayer with cover removed.
CAUTION
To reduce risk of pressure control malfunction:
•Use needle nose pliers to disconnect wire. Never
pull on wire, pull on connector.
•Mate wire connectors properly. Center flat blade
of insulated male connector in female connector.
•Route wires carefully to avoid interference with
other connections or pressure control. Do not
pinch wires between cover and control box.
•Keep all screws, nuts, washers, gaskets, and electrical fittings removed during repair procedures. These
parts usually are not provided with replacement kits.
•Test repairs after problems are corrected.
•If sprayer does not operate properly, review repair
procedure to verify you did it correctly. See Trouble-shooting, page 9.
To reduce risk of serious injury, including electric shock:
•Do not touch moving or electric parts with fingers or
tools while testing repair.
•Unplug sprayer when power is not required for testing.
•Install all covers, gaskets, screws and washers
before you operate sprayer.
CAUTION
•Do not run sprayer dry for more than 30 seconds.
Doing so could damage pump packings.
•Protect the internal drive parts of this sprayer from
water. Openings in the cover allow for air cooling of
the mechanical parts and electronics inside. If
water gets in these openings, the sprayer could
malfunction or be permanently damaged.
•Prevent pump corrosion and damage from freezing.
Never leave water or water-base paint in sprayer
when its not in use in cold weather. Freezing fluids
can seriously damage sprayer. Store sprayer with
Pump Armor to protect sprayer during storage.
•Install motor shroud before operation of sprayer and
replace if damaged. Motor shroud directs cooling air
around motor to prevent overheating. It can reduce
risk of burns, fire or explosion, or cut fingers.
