Warnings
The following warnings include general safety information for this equipment. More specific warnings are included in
the text where applicable.
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD - FE CED/IND General
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 power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes
are present.
•Ground equipment and conductive objects in work area. See Grounding instructions.
•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.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and
cause serious injury.
•Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
•Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
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 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.

HVLP Guns
An HVLP gun is a high transfer efficiency gun which limits the air pressure at the aircap to 10 psi maximum. In
some areas, an HVLP gun is required for compliance
with environmental standards.
Air Caps
The chart below lists the air caps available for pressure
feed, gravity, and siphon feed guns.

Width*
in. (mm)Gun Feed
Compliant Guns
A compliant gun is a high transfer efficiency gun which
has been tested to have a transfer efficiency greater
than or equal to HVLP guns. The Graco compliant guns
have no restrictions on aircap pressures, but the gun
inlet pressure must remain under 29 psi (21 MPa 2.1
bar) to remain in compliance.
Airspray Guns
Excellent atomization and high production rates typically
with some reduction in transfer efficiency.

Nozzle, Needle, and Tip Selection
The chart below lists the available nozzle sizes and
required fluid needle and nozzles for the Delta Spray XT
guns. The HVLP, Compliant, and Airspray guns all use
the same nozzle design and fluid needles. When spraying high flow rates and high viscosity materials use the
larger nozzle sizes and when spraying light materials or
low flow rates, use the smaller nozzle sizes.

Flushing the gun
Flush the spray gun before putting any paint
through the gun.
WAR NING
Read warnings, page 3. Follow Top and bottom feed
guns installation, page 8.
1. To flush the gun, use a solvent that is compatible
with paint to be sprayed. Hold a metal part of the
gun firmly to a grounded metal pail. Trigger the gun
to flush solvent through gun.
3. Install an air filter (G). See F
4. Use a 5/16 inch (7.9 mm) I.D. air hose to minimize
excessive pressure drop in the hose.
5. Connect the air hose (D) to the 1/4 npsm gun air
inlet (C).

3. To establish the correct fluid flow, turn the fluid
adjustment knob (21) counterclockwise until no
restriction of the trigger movement is felt, then turn
out another half turn. When the knob is turned far
enough, the trigger should be able to touch the gun
handle when the gun is triggered.
5. To reduce fluid flow, turn the fluid adjustment knob
(21) clockwise.
•If the fluid adjustment knob is turned clockwise
all the way, the gun will emit only air.
•If you cannot achieve the correct fluid flow with
the fluid adjustment knob, a different sized nozzle may be necessary. For smaller fluid flow,
use the next size smaller nozzle. For a larger
fluid flow, use the next size larger nozzle.

PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
To avoid injury, never open the fluid adjustment
knob (21) beyond the one half turn indicated in
step 3 in Adjusting the Spray Pattern. If the red
band on the knob stem (21) is visible, the knob is
not adjusted correctly and could result in serious
injury. Repeat step 3 in Adjusting the Spray
