•See Unclogging Spray/Tip Guard Assembly (page 14) for detailed instructions.

Pressure Control Knob

To reduce overspray, always spray at lowest pres­sure that results in an acceptable spray pattern.
Spray test pattern and adjust pressure to get desired coverage.
With some materials, if pressure is set too low, no material may spray out. Turn pressure control knob up.
Thin materials sprayed at high pressure settings may cause the sprayer to enter an operational mode designed to protect it from overheating. This mode is noticeable by the sprayer sounding like it is slow­ing down and will result in a poor spray pattern.
To exit this mode, turn pressure control knob down to lowest pressure setting that results in an acceptable spray pattern.
If spraying in low pressure range, there may not be enough pressure to clear the plug. Turn pressure control knob up to clear the plug.
NOTICE

Choosing the Correct Tip

Understanding Tip Number

The last three digits of tip number (i.e.: XXX413) con­tains information about hole size and fan width on sur­face when gun is held 12 in. (30.5 cm) from surface being sprayed.
Example: For a 6 - 8 in. (152 - 203 mm) fan width and a
0.015 in (0.38 mm) hole size, order part number
PST315 or NAR315, depending on your sprayer model number.

Selecting Tip Hole Size

Tips come in a variety of hole sizes for spraying a range of fluids. The sprayer includes a 0.015 in. (0.38 mm) tip for use in most spraying applications. Use the table below to determine the range of rec­ommended tip hole sizes for each fluid type.
Consider coating and surface to be sprayed. Make sure to use the best tip hole size for the coating and best fan width for that surface.
Tip hole size controls flow rate - the amount of paint that comes out of the gun.
HINTS:
As you spray, the tip wears and enlarges. Starting with a tip hole size smaller than the maximum will allow you to spray within the rated flow capacity of the sprayer.
Tips wear with use and abrasive paint and need periodic replacement.

Choosing Pressure Control Knob Setting

Recommendations of a starting point for determining the best set point for your sprayer and particular coating are shown in the table below.

Install Spray Tip/Guard Assembly (if not installed)
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, splashing fluid and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment.
1. Engage trigger lock and put prime/spray valve UP to release pressure.
2. Install filter to spray/tip guard assembly. NOTE: Spray tip filter is reverse-threaded. Turn left (or counter-clockwise) to install. Turn right (or clock­wise) to remove.

Getting Started with Basic Techniques

Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice these basic spraying techniques before you begin spraying the surface.
Hold sprayer 10 in. (25 cm) from surface and aim straight at surface. Tilting sprayer to direct spray angle causes an uneven finish.
Flex wrist to keep sprayer pointed straight. Fanning sprayer to direct spray at angle causes uneven finish.
NOTICE
Make sure spray tip filter is completely screwed into the spray/tip guard assembly to avoid damage to the filter. Do not use a damaged filter or poor sprayer performance may result.
Do NOT place hands in front of tip.
3. Screw spray/tip guard assembly onto sprayer. Tighten retaining nut until completely engaged with sprayer. Do not overtighten nut.
NOTICE
The spray tip is permanently attached to the spray/tip guard assembly. Removal will result in damage.

NOTE: How fast you move the sprayer will affect spray application. If material is pulsating, you are moving too fast. If material drips, you are moving too slow. See Trouble-
shooting, page 27.

Triggering Sprayer

Pull trigger after starting stroke. Release trigger before end of stroke. Sprayer must be moving when trigger is pulled and released.

Aiming Sprayer

Aim sprayer at bottom edge of previous stroke, overlapping each stroke by half.

Spray Pattern Quality

A good spray pattern is evenly distributed as it hits the sur­face. Adjust pressure control knob so pressure is just high enough to spray without “tails”. If tails persist at highest pressure setting, a smaller tip is needed to spray the mate­rial or material may need to be thinned.
3. Aim sprayer at waste area, disengage trigger lock, and put prime/spray valve DOWN to spray position. Pull trigger to clear clog.
4. Engage trigger lock. Put prime/spray valve UP to release pressure and rotate spray tip back to SPRAY position.
5. Disengage trigger lock, put prime/spray valve DOWN to spray position, and resume spraying.

Unclogging Spray Tip/Guard Assembly

Do not operate or spray near children. Do not aim the sprayer at, or spray any person or animal. Keep hands and other body parts away from discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the body.
1. To unclog spray tip clog, engage trigger lock and put prime/spray valve UP to release pressure.
2. Reverse spray tip to UNCLOG position. Turn pressure control knob to maximum pressure setting.
6. If spray tip is still clogged, you may have to repeat steps 1 - 5 and rotate the spray tip from SPRAY to UNCLOG several times. Repeat step 1 to release pressure, remove and clean spray tip filter, or replace with new spray tip/guard assembly.
NOTE: Spray tip filter assembly is reverse-threaded: Turn left (or counter-clockwise) to install. Turn right (or clockwise) to remove.
NOTICE
Make sure spray tip filter is completely screwed into the spray/tip guard assembly to avoid damage to the filter. Do not use a damaged filter or poor sprayer performance may result.
7. When obstruction is cleared, engage trigger lock and rotate spray tip back to SPRAY position.

Shutdown and Cleaning
NOTICE
Failure to properly clean sprayer after each use will result in hardened materials, damage to the sprayer, and the warranty will no longer be valid. Do not store solvents other than mineral spirits in sprayer. Always flush with Graco Pump Armor prior to storage.

Flushing Sprayer

Use only water-based or mineral spirit-type materials with flash point greater than 100° F (38° C). Do not use
materials which state “FLAMMABLE” on the packaging. For more information about your material, request MSDS from distributor or retailer.
Spraying certain materials may cause static build-up in the sprayer that can result in static shock to the user. If this occurs, first ensure the material has a flash
point greater than 100° F (38° C) and does not state that it is FLAMMABLE anywhere on the package. If still feeling a static shock, the material likely contains a non-mineral spirits fluid such as, but not limited to, xylene, toluene, or naphtha, which can build up static. Switch to an alterna­tive material.
Use oil-based material outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor area with a flow of fresh air.
2. Remove material cup and return excess material to proper container. If used, properly dispose the material cup liner.
3. Remove flexible suction tube as shown below.
NOTICE
When removing flexible suction tube from sprayer, make sure to pull directly on top fitting of flexible suction tube. Flexible suction tube will become damaged if pulled from bottom or on flexible portion.
4. Use screwdriver to pry suction tube strainer from flexi­ble suction tube.
5. Clean flexible suction tube and suction tube strainer with water (or flushing fluid) and a brush every time you flush the sprayer. Reconnect flexible suction tube and suction tube strainer and orient as shown.
Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
NOTICE
Protect the internal parts of this sprayer from water.
Do not submerge the sprayer in cleaning fluid. Openings in shroud allow cooling of mechanical parts and electron­ics inside. If water or cleaning fluid gets into these open­ings, the sprayer could malfunction or become permanently damaged.
1. Engage trigger lock and pull prime/spray valve UP to release pressure.
3A2589D 15
6. Clean material cup if not using a liner, and fill with water or appropriate flushing fluid.

7. Reconnect material cup and shake sprayer to move clean water around and clean all areas inside of mate­rial cup.
8. Disengage trigger lock and trigger sprayer for approxi­mately 15 seconds. Engage trigger lock.
9. Discard contaminated fluid and refill with appropriate flushing fluid.
10. Disengage trigger lock, reverse Spray Tip to UNCLOG position, and pull trigger for 5 seconds to prime sprayer.
12. Engage trigger lock and put prime/spray valve UP to release pressure.
NOTE: Air vent holes or the air vent valve (as your model is equipped) allow air to flow into the material cup while spraying to prevent loss of fluid flow.
13. Remove material cup and discard used fluid.
For model 16N660: Use a soft brush to clean the black rubber inlet seal. If vent holes become clogged, use a paper clip to clear the holes.
For all other units: Remove air vent valve, clean, and reinstall.
11. Put prime/spray valve DOWN to spray position. Trigger sprayer into waste area until no paint appears in water or flushing fluid.
To avoid serious injury or damage to equipment, do not expose the sprayer electronics to flushing solvents. Keep sprayer at least 10 in. (25 cm) above the rim of the con­tainer when flushing.
Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area. When flushing with sol­vents, always ground the sprayer and waste container.
14. Remove spray/tip guard assembly and clean with water or flushing fluid. A soft brush can be used to loosen and remove dried material if needed.
NOTICE
The spray tip is permanently attached to the guard. Removing the spray tip from the guard will result in dam­age to the spray tip assembly. Do not store spray/tip guard assembly or flexible suction tube in solvent other than mineral spirits. Damage to parts may occur.

General Service
See manual 3A1884 (available at www.graco.com) for complete instructions on properly servicing your sprayer.
If you have opened the sprayer clamshell and do not have access to manual 3A1884, follow the instructions below to reduce the risk of errors when assembling the sprayer clamshell.

Wiring

Align switch in enclosure, install control board, and route wires as shown below. NOTE: Make sure wires will not be pinched when enclosure halves are put together.
4. Position pressure control knob in fully clockwise position and press firmly onto retainer.
NOTE: You may have to rotate pressure control knob slightly counter-clockwise to fully engage pressure control knob with retainer.
5. Install washer onto pressure control knob.
6. Install valve handle onto stem.
7. Insert pin into valve handle. Use pliers to press pin into hole.

Pressure Control Knob

1. Use the pressure control knob as a tool to rotate retainer fully clockwise (there should be no gap between retainer teeth and metal valve housing).
NOTE: You may occasionally have to remove, rotate, and reposition pressure control knob due to stop feature molded into back of knob.
2. Rotate retainer back (counter-clockwise) until the first instance that the line and mark are aligned.
3. The valve retainer should now protrude approximately 1/8 in. (.30 cm) out from metal valve housing. Your prime/spray valve is now calibrated.
NOTE: If pin does not assemble, repeat steps 3 - 6 to ensure pressure control is fully engaged with retainer.
IMPORTANT!
After assembly is complete, perform the following steps to verify proper operation. If sprayer fails one of the steps, repeat Pressure Control Knob procedure.
Verify proper trigger lock operation. Slide trigger lock into “locked” and “unlocked” position and pull trigger. Trigger should not move in locked position and sprayer should run in unlocked position.
Visually inspect for gaps between enclosure halves. A gap larger than 1/32 in. could be caused by a pinched wire. If disassembly and inspection indicates that no wire has been pinched, carefully reassemble and repeat verification steps.
Cordless Sprayers: Verify that battery freely slides onto sprayer terminals and is locked when fully engaged.
Verify belt hook operation (if applicable) by sliding hook completely out and back inside.
Fill material cup with water and verify unit primes and sprays. Follow setup instructions in sprayer operation manual for proper priming and spraying procedure.
Rotate pressure control knob to make sure it can rotate fully in both directions.

Inlet Valve Fitting Removal/Service
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, splashing fluid and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment.
Move sprayer to a non-hazardous area before servicing.
1. Engage trigger lock and pull prime/spray valve UP to release pressure.
2. Remove material cup, flexible suction tube, and bat­tery.
5. Use a thin wire less than 1/16 in. (such as a paper clip) to check that the outlet valve fitting moves freely. If valve does not move freely, perform Outlet Valve
Fitting Repair, page 26.
Installation
NOTE: Before installing, make sure o-ring (c) is installed
on poppet valve (b). A needle-nose pliers can also be used to install parts (a - c).
1. Place poppet valve (b) with spring (a) on top of inlet
valve fitting (d). Push inlet fitting up into pump cavity.
2. Hold inlet in place and turn sprayer upside-down. Remove inlet valve fitting and visually check to see that inlet valve has seated correctly.
