as instructed in the separate gun or tip instruc-
tion manual. If you are using the RAC IV
supplied with this sprayer, see manual 308644.
5. Adjusting the Pressure
a. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to
increase and counterclockwise to decrease the
pressure. Tighten the knob locknut to set.
b. Always use the lowest pressure that is neces-
sary to completely atomize the fluid.
CAUTION
Operating the sprayer at a higher pressure than
necessary wastes fluid, causes early tip wear, and
shortens the sprayer life.
c. If more coverage is needed, use a larger tip
rather than increasing the pressure.
d. Check the spray pattern. The tip size and
angle determines the pattern width and flow
rate. See the separate manual received with
your gun.
6. Cleaning a Clogged Tip
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of a fluid injection
injury , NEVER hold your hand, body or a
rag in front of the spray tip when
cleaning or checking for a cleared tip. To reduce
the risk of a fire or explosion, always hold the gun
firmly against the side of a grounded metal waste
container when checking to see if the tip was
cleared or when using a self--clearing tip.
a. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
Warning on page 10.
b. Clean the front of the tip frequently during the
day to keep the fluid from building up and clogging the tip. To clean, and to clear a tip if it
clogs, refer to your separate gun instruction
manual. If you are using the RAC IV tip guard
and SwitchT ip, refer to manual 308644.
7. Shutting Off the Sprayer
a. Whenever you stop spraying, even for a short
break, follow the Pressure Relief ProcedureWarning on page 10.
b. Clean the tip and gun as recommended in your
separate gun or tip manual.
c. Flush the sprayer at the end of each work day
if using water--based fluid or if it could harden
in the sprayer over night. See FLUSHING,
page 8. Use a compatible solvent to flush,
then fill the pump and hoses with solvent such
as mineral spirits to help prevent pump corrosion. Relieve pressure!
d. For long term shutdown or storage, always fill
the sprayer with mineral spirits to prevent
pump corrosion. Relieve pressure!
8. Adjusting the Intake Valve Ball Travel.
a. The pump is set to handle medium volume,
low viscosity fluid. To adjust the pump for
higher flow or heavier viscosity fluid, disassemble the intake valve as instructed in the
appropriate pump manual listed in the parts list
and move the ball stop pin to a higher set of
holes. This increases the ball travel.
11308972
Maintenance
1. Always stop the pump at the bottom of its
stroke when you take a break and at the end of
the day. This helps keep fluid from drying on the
rod and damaging the packings.
2. Keep the displacement pump packing nut/wetcup 1/3 full of TSL at all times. The TSL helps
protect the packings and rod.
3. Check the tightness of the packing nut daily. It
should be tight enough to stop leakage but no
tighter.
CAUTION
Proper engine and hydraulic oil level is important to
prevent costly damage to the sprayer. Check it as
often as recommended in Steps 4 and 5., below.
4. Check the hydraulic oil level weekly. The oil
must be up to the top mark on the dipstick. Use
only Graco Hydraulic Oil.
5. Check the engine oil level at least weekly. The
oil must be up to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
The engine should not use more than one ounce
of oil per hour of operation. Consult the engine
manual, supplied, for additional recommended
maintenance.
8. Change engine oil and filter every 100 hour ofuse. Use 30W detergent oil.
9. To change the hydraulic oil:
a. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
Warning on page 10.
b. Place a waste container under the drain plug
of the hydraulic reservoir. See Fig 7. Unscrew
the plug and drain the reservoir . Reinstall the
plug before proceeding.
c. Remove the nuts and reservoir cover.
d. Remove the return line filter and install a new
filter assembly.
e. Inspect the inlet filter and replace it if needed.

6. Inspect the return line filter frequently for clogging. Replace it after every 500 hours of operation
or every 6 months, whichever comes first. A
clogged or worn out filter reduces filter capability
and will damage the hydraulic pump.
7. Change the hydraulic oil after every 2000hours of operation or every 12 months, whichever
comes first. For continuous operation in temperatures above 85_F(30_C), change the oil after
every 1000 hours or 6 months of use. See Step 9.
