WARNING
Do not install equipment approved only for non-hazardous location in a hazardous area. Substitution of
components may impair intrinsic safety and cause personal injury. Read page 5.
Approved for Hazardous Location
Class I, Div 1, Group D (North America); Class I, Zones 1 and 2 (Europe)
The following general warnings are related to the safe setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. Additional more specific warnings may be found throughout the text of this manual where applicable.
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 equipment and conductive objects in work area. See Setup instructions in ProMix Easy
Operation manual 309908.
•Use only grounded hoses.
•Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.
•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.
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.
•Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
•Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
•Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch or amputate fingers and other body parts.
•Keep clear of moving parts.
•Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.
•Pressurized equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing equipment, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual. Disconnect power or air supply.

Warnings
WARNING
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.
•For professional use only.
•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 kind or overbend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
•Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
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 eyewear
•Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer
•Gloves
•Hearing protection

Pressure Relief Procedure
Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
Relieve pressure from fluid manifold to gun whenever
you stop spraying and before servicing gun or removing spray tip.
In addition, relieve pressure from pump to fluid manifold at end of day and before cleaning, checking, or
servicing pump, manifold, or fluid line accessories or
transporting equipment.
Read warnings, page 5.

•Reduce moisture in compressed air supply, or use
heated air.
If icing persists, see table below.

on unit.
2. Remove left side plate (21).
3. Unlock filter bowl guard and remove.
4. Unscrew filter bowl.
5. Remove and replace element.
6. Screw filter bowl on securely.
