WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the gun, hose leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause
extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin
can also cause serious injury.
D Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate surgi-
cal treatment.
D Do not point the gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
D Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip.
D Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
D Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.
D Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the gun when spraying.
D Check the gun diffuser operation weekly. Refer to the gun manual.
D Be sure the gun trigger safety operates before spraying.
D Lock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8 if the spray tip clogs and before cleaning,
checking or servicing the equipment.
D Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
Do not repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.
D Fluid hoses must have spring guards on both ends, to help protect them from rupture caused by
kinks or bends near the couplings.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts, such as the air motor rocker arms, can pinch or amputate your fingers.
D Keep clear of all moving parts when starting or operating the pump.
D Before servicing the equipment, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8 to prevent the
equipment from starting unexpectedly.

WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in a fire or explosion and serious injury.
D Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed. Refer to Grounding on page 5.
D If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop spray-
ing immediately. Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
D Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid
being sprayed.
D Keep the spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
D Electrically disconnect all equipment in the spray area.
D Extinguish all open flames or pilot lights in the spray area.
D Do not smoke in the spray area.
D Do not turn on or off any light switch in the spray area while operating or if fumes are present.
D Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin,
inhaled, or swallowed.
D Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.
D Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local,
state, and national guidelines.
D Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing, and respirator as recommended by the fluid and
solvent manufacturer.

Setup
General Information
NOTE: Reference numbers and letters in parentheses
in the text refer to the callouts in the figures and the
parts drawing.
NOTE: Always use Genuine Graco Parts and Accessories, available from your Graco distributor. Refer to
the Product Data Sheet for your pump, Form No.
305756. If you supply your own accessories, be sure
they are adequately sized and pressure rated for your
system.
Fig. 2 is only a guide for selecting and installing system components and accessories. Contact your Graco
distributor for assistance in designing a system to suit
your particular needs.
Prepare the Operator
All persons who operate the equipment must be
trained in the safe, efficient operation of all system
components as well as the proper handling of all fluids.
All operators must thoroughly read all instruction
manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equipment.
Grounding
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Before operating the pump, ground the
system as explained below. Also read
the section FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZ-ARD on page 4.
1. Pump: use the ground wire and clamp (supplied).
See Fig. 1. Loosen the grounding lug locknut (W)
and washer (X). Insert one end of the ground wire
(57) into the slot in lug (Z) and tighten the locknut
securely. Connect the other end of the wire to a
true earth ground.

Prepare the Site
The Premier pumps require 6.4 m#/min. (230 scfm) of
compressed air while operating at 0.67 MPa, 6.7 bar
(97 psi) air pressure and 60 cycles per minute. Ensure
that you have an adequate compressed air supply.
Refer to Fig. 2. Bring a compressed air supply line (A)
from the air compressor to the pump location. Be sure
all air hoses (A) are properly sized and pressure-rated
for your system. Use only electrically conductive
hoses. The air hose should have a 3/4 npt(m) thread.
Install a bleed-type shutoff valve (B) in the air line to
isolate the air line components for servicing. Install an
air line moisture trap and drain valve (C) to help remove moisture from the compressed air supply.
Keep the site clear of any obstacles or debris that
could interfere with the operator’s movement.
Have a grounded, metal pail available for use when
flushing the system or draining the fluid filter.

Fig. 1
2. Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
hoses.
3. Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
4. Spray gun: ground through connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
5. Fluid supply container: follow your local code.
6. Object being sprayed: follow your local code.
7. Solvent pails used when flushing: follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the
pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.
8. To maintain grounding continuity when flushing orrelieving pressure, hold a metal part of the spray
gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail,
then trigger the gun.
