WARNING

Warnings

The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, 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 o n 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.

PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD

Fluid from the equipment, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or o n skin and cause seri­ous injury.

• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying/dispensing and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.

• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

• Handle and route hoses and tubes carefully. Keep the hoses and tubes away from moving parts and
hot surfaces. Do not use the hoses to pull equipment. Do not expose Graco hoses to temperatures
above 180°F (82°C) or below -40°F (-40°C).

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent
fire and explosion:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

• Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop
cloths (potential static arc).

• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.

• Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when fla mmable fumes
are present.

• Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.

• Use only grounded hoses.

• Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggerin g into pail. Do not u se pail liners unless they are
antistatic or conductive.

• Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock. Do not use equipment until
you identify and correct the problem.

• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

WARNING

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system com­ponent. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.

• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information about
your material, request MSDS from distributor or retailer.

• Do not leave the work area while equipment is energized or under pressure.

• Turn off all equipment and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when equipment is not in use.

• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine manufac­turer’s replacement parts only.

• Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency approvals and create
safety hazards.

• Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are using it.

• Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.

• Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.

• Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.

• Do not expose Graco hoses to temperatures above 180°F (82 °C) or below -40°F (-40°C).

Setup

NOTICE

This equipment is compatible with most water-based
materials. See the wetted parts in the Technical Data
section and your fluid and solvent manufacturer’s
compatibility information.

Prepare the operator

All persons who operate the system should be trained in
the safe, efficient operation of all system components as
well as the proper handling of the chemical coating. At a
minimum, all operators should thoroughly read the
safety, installation and operation sections of this manual
and the component manuals.

Setup

Prepare the site

To prevent hazardous concentrations of toxic and/or
flammable vapors, spray only in a properly ventilated
spray booth. Never operate the spray gun unless
ventilation fans are operating. Check and follow all
of the national, state and local codes regarding air
exhaust velocity requirements.

1. Use a minimum 5 HP (3.7 kW) air compressor for
efficient operation.

2. Clear obstacles and debris that could cause an
unsafe operating environment.

3. Bring an air line from your compressed air supp ly to
the pressure pot location. Be sure the air is dry and
filtered. Install a bleed-type master air valve
upstream from the pressure pot. When it is closed
and the pressure pot air regulator (33) is opened,
the bleed-type master air valve relieves all air pres­sure to the equipment components.

4. Ventilate the spray booth.
