Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying
and before cleaning, checking, or servicing the
equipment.
1. Turn off the fluid supply to the meter.
2. Shut off all power to the fluid system.
3. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for your
fluid system dispensing device.
Flow Meter Operation
To reduce the risk of component rupture, which
could cause injury from splashing fluid, do not
exceed the maximum working pressure of your
meter or any component or accessory in your
system.
For information on the G3000 Graco flow meter, see
manual 308778. For information on the Coriolis flow
meter, see manual 313599. Calibrate the meter as
instructed before using the meter for production.
NOTICE
The flow meter gears and bearings can be
damaged if they rotate at too high a speed. To
avoid high speed rotation, open the fluid valve
