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 symbol refers to procedure-specific risk. Refer back
to these warnings. Additional, product-specific warnings may be found throughout the body 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 power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes
are present.
•Ground all equipment in the 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.
•Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
This equipment must be grounded. Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause
electric shock.
•Turn off and disconnect power at main switch before disconnecting any cables and before servicing
equipment.
•Connect only to grounded power source.
•All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and comply with all local codes and
regulations.
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.

General Information
Reference numbers and letters in parentheses in
the text refer to the callouts in the figures and the
parts drawing.
Always use Genuine Graco Parts and Accessories,
available from your Graco distributor. If you supply
your own accessories, be sure they are adequately
sized and pressure-rated for your system.
FIG. 1 is only a guide for selecting and installing system
components and accessories. Contact your Graco distributor for assistance in designing a system to suit your
particular needs.
Prepare the Operator
All persons who operate the equipment must be trained
in the operation of all system components as well as the
proper handling of all fluids. All operators must thoroughly read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels
before operating the equipment.
Prepare the Site
Ensure that you have an adequate compressed air
supply.
Bring a compressed air supply line from the air compressor to the pump location. Refer to the performance
charts in your pump assembly manual to find the air
consumption of your pump. Be sure all air hoses are
properly sized and pressure-rated for your system. Use
only electrically conductive hoses. The air hose should
have a 3/8 npt(m) thread. A quick disconnect coupling is
recommended.
Wall Mount Packages
1. Be sure the wall can support the weight of the
pump, bracket, hoses and accessories, as well as
the stress caused during operation.
2. Position the wall bracket about 4–5 ft (1.2–1.5 m)
above the floor. For ease of operation and service,
make sure the pump air inlet, fluid inlet, and fluid
outlet ports are easily accessible.
3. Using the wall bracket as a template, drill 0.4 in.
(10 mm) mounting holes in the wall. Wall mounting
dimensions are shown on page 33.
4. Attach the bracket to the wall. Use 3/8 in. (9 mm)
screws that are long enough to keep the pump from
vibrating during operation.
NOTE: Be sure the bracket is level.
Ventilate the Spray Booth
Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of
flammable or toxic vapors. Do not operate the gun
unless ventilation fans are operating.
Electrically interlock the gun air supply with the ventilators to prevent gun operation without ventilating fans
operating. Check and follow all National, State, and
Local codes regarding air exhaust velocity requirements.
Keep the site clear of any obstacles or debris that could
interfere with the operator's movement.
Have a grounded, metal pail available for use when
flushing the system.

Installation
Supplied Components
See FIG. 1. Components vary by package ordered.
See tables on pages 6 to 7. Your package may include:
•The red-handled bleed-type master air valve (U) is
required in your system to relieve air trapped
between it and the air motor and gun when the valve
is closed.
Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury from splashing or moving parts.
•The pump air regulator (X) controls pump speed
and outlet pressure by adjusting the air pressure to
the pump.
•The air relief valve (not shown) opens automatically
to prevent overpressurization of the pump.
Do not block access to the valve.
•The 3-way valve (M) allows choice to circulate fluid
back to the pump or return it to the supply container.
•A fluid drain valve (G) relieves fluid pressure in the
hose and gun.
•The fluid heater (D) heats the fluid as it passes
through, to maintain the correct spraying viscosity.
Read and understand all instructions in the supplied
heater manual 309524 before operating the heater.
Heat causes fluid to expand. If the heated fluid is
trapped with nowhere to expand, it can cause component rupture. Be sure to keep the heated fluid circulating (turn the 3-way valve to CIRC). Do not install a
fluid shutoff device between the heater and the gun.
•The gun air regulator (T) adjusts the air pressure to
the air-assisted spray gun (H).
•The air-assisted or airless spray gun (H) dispenses
the fluid. The gun houses the spray tip (not shown),
which is available in a wide range of sizes for different spray patterns and rates of flow. Refer to gun
manual for tip installation.
•The hose bundle (L) supplies fluid (and air for AA
guns) to the gun, and allows recirculation of fluid
when the gun is not triggered.
•The gun swivel (J) allows for freer gun movement.
•The suction hose (N) with strainer (P) allows the
pump to draw fluid from a 5 gallon (19 liter) pail.
•A fluid filter (F) with a 60 mesh (250 micron) stainless steel element filters particles from fluid as it
leaves the pump.
•DataTrak (V) provides pump diagnostics and material usage information. See page 19.
•The back pressure regulator (E) controls pressure
back to the gun and maintains proper circulation
pressure.

Grounding
The equipment 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.

Connect the other end of the ground wire (R) to a
true earth ground.
FIG. 2. Ground screw and wire
2. Pump fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
fluid hoses Check electrical resistance of hoses. If
total resistance to ground exceeds 25 megohms,
replace hose immediately.
3. Viscon HP Heater: refer to the heater manual,
supplied.
4. Air compressor: follow manufacturer's recommendations.

8. Solvent pails used when flushing: follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail
on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.
9. To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the spray
gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then
trigger the gun.
Setup
The Viscon HP Heater must be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with all state and local
codes and regulations.
Wall Mount Electrical Connections. Follow all
directions and requirements in the Viscon HP Heater
manual 309524.
Cart Mount Hazardous Location Wiring. The heater is
shipped with a fitting that is suitable for wiring in
hazardous locations. Follow all directions and
requirements in the Viscon HP Heater manual 309524.
Do not use the supplied electrical cord, which is
suitable only for non-hazardous location wiring.

IG. 3. Replace installed fitting with bushing (80),
shipped loose. Attach strain relief bushing (79). Follow
all directions in the Viscon HP Heater manual 309524 to
connect the 120V supplied electrical cord (78), or
user-supplied cord for 240V applications.
