Foam-Catr Heated Hose

3000 psi (21 MPa, 207 bar) Maximum Working Pressure

Model 218613, Series B

50 foot (15.2 m) Hose, 3/8 in. ID

Model 218614, Series B

15 foot (4.6 m) Whip Hose, 1/4 in. ID

during spraying operations, and it raises the temperature of fluid left in the hose
when the heater is turned on after a shutdown period.

The Series B Heated Hoses include a 75_C (167_F) high limit thermostat. This
limits the maximum temperature to less than the 82_C (180_F) rating of the hoses,
allowing use at a full 3000 psi (21 MPa, 207 bar) pressure rating.

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Equipment misuse can cause the equipment to rupture or malfunction and result in serious injury.

D This equipment is for professional use only.

D Read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equipment.

D Use the equipment only for its intended purpose. If you are uncertain about usage, call your Graco

distributor.

235839, 235260, and 235840.

D Do not alter or modify this equipment. Use only genuine Graco parts and accessories.

D Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

D Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated system component. This equip-

ment has a 3000 psi (21 MPa, 207 bar) maximum working pressure.

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

D To avoid excessive heat buildup, never operate the hose when it is coiled.

D Do not use the hoses to pull the equipment.

D Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with the equipment wetted parts. Refer to the Techni-

cal Data section of all equipment manuals. Read the fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.

D Comply with all applicable local, state, and national fire, electrical, and safety regulations.

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.

WARNING

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. Splashing fluid 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 medi-

cal attention.

D Do not point the spray gun at anyone or at any part of the body.

D Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip/nozzle.

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 trigger guard on the spray gun when spraying.

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 9 whenever you: are instructed to relieve pres-

sure; stop spraying; clean, check, or service the equipment; and install or clean the spray tip/
nozzle.

D Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Do not mend or repair any part of the hose assembly.

If the hose is damaged, replace it immediately.

FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in fire, explosion, electric shock or other serious injury.

D Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed according to the system component manuals

and local code.

D All electrical wiring must be done by trained and qualified personnel and comply with all local codes

and regulations.

D Do not use the hose until the couplings are properly insulated and the hose abrasion cover is in

place.

D Do not expose the hose to rain.

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 If there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop spraying immediately. Identify and
