The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When
these symbols appear in the body of this manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific
hazard symbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where
applicable.
WARNING
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.
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 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.
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.

Warnings
WARNING
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.
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

Grounding
Grounding
WARNING
Your system must be grounded. Read warnings, page
2.
Pump: use ground wire and clamp. Loosen grounding
lug locknut (A) and washer (B). Insert 12 gauge minimum ground wire end (D) into lug slot (C) and tighten
locknut securely. Connect ground clamp to a true earth
ground.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray
gun/dispense valve firmly to the side of a grounded
metal pail, then trigger the gun/valve.
Operation
WARNING
Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
hoses. Check electrical resistance of hoses once a
week. Refer to the hose tag or contact supplier for maximum resistance limits. If total resistance to ground
exceeds limits, replace hose immediately.

IG. 1
Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
Spray gun / Dispense valve: ground through connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container: follow local code.
Object being sprayed: follow local code.
Keep your fingers, hands, and tools away from the
priming piston and the air motor piston during operation and whenever the pump air and fluid pressure is
not fully relieved. The pump priming piston extends
below the foot valve during operation and could pinch
or amputate your fingers or hands as it moves up into
the cylinder.
Be sure all moving part shields are installed and safety
devices are operating properly before each use.
WARNING
Tighten all fluid connections securely before each use.
High pressure fluid can dislodge a loose coupling or
allow high pressure spray to be emitted from the coupling.
CAUTION
Never operate one pump alone. Do not disconnect
one pump or allow a pump to run out of material. The
system is designed to have both pumps run together.
Running one pump alone puts too much stress on the
hardware that connects the air motor to the displacement pumps and could cause the hardware to fracture.
Solvent pails used when flushing: follow local code.
Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity.
