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.

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.
3A2589D 13
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.

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.
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.
3. Hold sprayer upside-down and use wrench to loosen
and remove inlet valve fitting, inlet valve, and spring.
