WARNING

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

Spray from the gun, 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.

DFluid injected into the skin may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate surgical treatment.

DDo not point the gun at anyone or at any part of the body.

DDo not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip.

DDo not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.

DDo not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.

DAlways have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the gun when spraying.

DCheck the gun diffuser operation weekly. Refer to the gun manual.

DBe sure the gun trigger safety operates before spraying.

DLock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.

DFollow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 10 if the spray tip clogs and before cleaning, checking or servicing the equipment.

DTighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

DCheck the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Do not repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.

DFluid hoses must have spring guards on both ends, to help protect them from rupture caused by kinks or bends near the couplings.

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.

DKnow the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.

DStore hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local, state and national guidelines.

DAlways wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer.

FUEL HAZARD

The fuel used in this unit is combustible and when spilled on a hot surface can ignite and cause a fire.

D Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.

EXHAUST HAZARD

The exhaust contains poisonous carbon dioxide which is colorless and odorless.

D Do not operate this equipment in a closed building.

Setup

1.Connect the Hose and Gun

a.Remove the plastic cap plug from the outlet tee and screw an accessory, conductive or grounded spray hose onto the 1/4 npsm(f) outlet fitting. See Fig 1.

b.Connect a small diameter, 3 ft (0.9 m) whip hose between the main hose and a spray gun, if desired, for more flexible gun movement.

c.Don’t use thread sealant on the swiveling nut of the hose couplings, and don’t install the spray tip yet.

NOTE: Use thread sealant on all male threads except at swivel unions. Swivel unions are made to self– seal, and using thread sealant prevents the swivel from turning freely.

2.Fill the Packing Nut/Wet Cup 1/3 full with Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL), supplied. See Fig. 2.

Setup

3.Check the Hydraulic Oil Level

a.Unscrew the hydraulic oil fill cap. See Fig 2. The dipstick is attached to the cap. The oil should be up to the full line on the dipstick.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the cooling system and hydraulic pump, use only Graco Hydraulic Oil, 169236 (5 gal./20 liter) or 207428 (1 gal/3.8 liter). Other types of hydraulic oil may damage the hydraulic components.

b.Add oil as needed to the proper level. A completely full hydraulic system contains about 5 gallons (20 liters) of oil.

Setup

5. Fill the Fuel Tank

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Fuel spilled on a hot surface can cause a fire or explosion and serious bodily injury and property damage. Shut off engine and let it cool before filling the tank. Carefully follow steps 5.a. to 5.c., below, being sure not to spill any fuel.

a.Close the fuel shutoff valve. See Fig 3.

b.Use only clean, fresh, well-known brands of unleaded regular grade gasoline. The minimum octane requirements are 87 octane in the U.S.A. and 96 octane elsewhere.

c.Remove the gasoline fill cap and fill the tank. Be sure the air vent in the fill cap is not plugged so gasoline can flow to the carburetor, then replace the cap. See Fig 3.

d.External fuel tank capacity: 6.0 gallons (22.7 liters)

e.Gasoline consumption at the maximum operating speed of 2900 RPM is about 1.3 gallons/ hour (4.9 liters/hour).

6. Grounding

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

To reduce the risk of static sparking, fire or explosion which can result in serious

bodily injury and property damage, ground the sprayer, all system components, and the object being sprayed as instructed under FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD on page 3.

Connect the ground wire and clamp (provided) to a true earth ground. See Fig 4.

7.Flush the sprayer to remove the oil which was left in the pump after factory testing to protect the pump from corrosion. See Flushing.

8.Battery Maintenance

Always charge a new battery or a battery that has not been in use for a long period.

307616 7

Flushing

When to Flush

1.New sprayer. Your new sprayer was factory tested with lightweight oil which was left in to protect pump parts from corrosion.

Before using oil–base paint, flush with mineral spirits only.

Before using water–base paint, flush with mineral spirits, followed by soapy water, then a clean water rinse.

2.Changing colors. Flush with a compatible solvent such as mineral spirits.

3.Changing from water–base to oil–base paint.

Flush with soapy water, then mineral spirits.

4.Changing from oil–base to water–base paint.

Flush with mineral spirits, followed by soapy water, then a clean water flush.

5.Storage.

Water–base paint: flush with water, then mineral spirits and leave the pump, hose and gun filled with mineral spirits. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure Warning, page 10.

Oil–base paint: flush with mineral spirits. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure Warning, page 10.

6.Startup after storage.

Before using water–base paint, flush out mineral spirits with soapy water and then clean water.

When using oil–base paint, flush out mineral spirits with fluid to be sprayed.

How to Flush

WARNING

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure Warning on page 10. Remove the spray tip before flushing.

1.Engage the gun safety latch. Remove the spray tip from the gun.

2.Pour enough clean, compatible solvent to fill the pump and hoses into a large, grounded metal pail.

3.Place the suction tube into the pail or tilt the sprayer back (it will support itself) and place the pail under the pump. Then tilt the sprayer forward to lower the pump into the pail.

4.Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise until all spring tension is relieved. You will be able to feel it. The sprayer is now set at the lowest pressure setting. Turning the knob further will remove it. Tighten the knob locknut to set. See Fig 5.

5.Open the bypass valve. The valve lever will be parallel to the body of the valve. See Fig 5.

6.Attach fuel hose from tank to engine.

7.Close the choke by moving the choke lever. See Fig 5.

CAUTION

The bypass valve must be opened when starting the sprayer to prevent damaging the starter.

8 307616

8.Turn and hold the ignition key to START until you hear the engine “catch”, then release the key to RUN. See Fig 5. If the engine does not start, open the choke a little (move lever). If the engine floods, open the choke all the way and try again.

9.After the engine is warm, gradually open the choke lever (move lever) and close the bypass valve. See Fig 5.

10.Point the gun into the grounded metal pail and hold a metal part of the gun firmly against the pail.

NOTE: To save the fluid in the pump and hose, trigger the gun into the paint container or a separate clean container. At the same time, slowly turn the pressure control knob clockwise just enough to start the pump. When solvent appears, release the trigger and continue as below.
