Important User Information
Thank You for Your Purchase!
Before using your sprayer read this Owners Manual for complete instructions on proper use and
safety warnings.
Congratulations! You have purchased a high-quality paint sprayer made by Graco Inc.
This sprayer is designed to provide superior spray performance with water-based and
oil-based (mineral spirit-type) architectural paints and coatings. This user information is
intended to help you understand the types of materials that can be used with your sprayer.
Please read the information on the material container label to determine if it can be used
with your sprayer. Ask for a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) from your supplier. The
container label and MSDS will explain the contents of the material and the specific
precautions related to it.
Paints, coatings and clean-up materials generally fit
into one of the following 3 basic categories:
WATER-BASED: The container label should indicate that the material can be
cleaned up with soap and water. Your sprayer is compatible with this type of
material. Your sprayer is NOT compatible with harsh cleaners such as
chlorine bleach.
OIL-BASED: The container label should indicate that the material is
COMBUSTIBILE and can be cleaned up with mineral spirits or paint thinner.
The MSDS must indicate that the flash point of the material is above 100° F.
Your sprayer is compatible with this type of material. Use oil-based material
outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor area with a flow of fresh air. See the
safety warnings in this manual.
FLAMMABLE: This type of material contains flammable solvents such as
xylene, toluene, naphtha, MEK, lacquer thinner, acetone, denatured alcohol,
and turpentine. The container label should indicate that this material is
FLAMMABLE. This type of material is NOT compatible with your sprayer
and CANNOT be used.

WARNING
Important Safety Information
The following warnings are for the setup, use, 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
•
Improper installation of the grounding plug
is able to result in a risk of electric shock.
•
When repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is required, do not connect the
grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.
•
The wire with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
•
Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman when the grounding
instructions are not completely understood,
or when in doubt as to whether the product
is properly grounded.
•
Do not modify the plug provided; if it does
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
•
This product is for use on a nominal 120V
circuit and has a grounding plug similar to
the plug illustrated in the figures.
•
Only connect the product to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug.
•
Do not use an adapter with this product.
Extension Cords:
Use only a 3-wire extension cord
•
that has a grounding plug and a
grounding receptacle that accepts
the plug on the product.
•
An undersized cord results in a
drop in line voltage and loss of
power and overheating.When in
doubt use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number the
heavier the cord.
•
When using the sprayer outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
•
Make sure your extension cord is not
damaged. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use a cord heavy enough to carry the
current that your sprayer draws. See chart for
appropriate sizes and lengths:

If sprayer does not spray, try one of
the steps below:
• Make certain there is only one FlexLiner
in cup support. It is possible for two liners
to nest tightly together and appear as
only one.
• Make certain the cup cover is properly
threaded to the cup support. If threads
are visible below the cup cover when
tight, then the cover is cross-threaded.
Fully remove the cup cover and reinstall
to the cup support so no threads are
visible when tight.
• Repeat steps 2 – 6 on pages 8 – 9 to
ensure all the air is evacuated from the
FlexLiner.
• Make certain the Prime Pump/Spray
knob is in the Spray position.
• If sprayer still does not spray, perform
steps10 and 11 on page 21. If material
sprays while upside down there is air in
the cup. Repeat steps above.
Refilling FlexLiner
If sprayer runs out of paint simply separate
the cup support from the cup cover/sprayer
and refill the FlexLiner.
1. Unplug sprayer from power source.
2. Separate the cup support from the
