Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Fluid under high pressure can be injected through the skin and cause seri-
ous injury. To reduce the risk of an injury
from injection, splashing fluid, or moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you:
are instructed to relieve the pressure,
stop spraying,
check or service any of the system equipment,
or install or clean the spray tips.
1. Engage the spray gun safety latch.
2. Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
3. Flip the pressure control switch to OFF.
4. Disengage the gun safety latch. Hold a metal part
of the gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal
pail, and trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
5. Engage the gun safety latch.
6. Hold the pressure relief tube firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, and open the pressure relief
valve. Leave the valve open until you are ready to
spray again.
7. Disconnect the spark plug cable to prevent the
system from starting unexpectedly.

1. Read and follow the warnings on pages 4 and 6
before installing or operating this sprayer.
2. Unpack the LineLazer Carefully raise the handle (19)
to a vertical position. Four screws (39) and locknuts
(40) are packed in a bag. Install the two rear screws
(39A) and finger tighten the nuts (40A). Install one
screw (39B) and nut (40B) on each side of the handle. Firmly tighten all four nuts. See Fig. 3.
CAUTION
When raising the cart handle (19), be sure no cables
are caught on the frame or become kinked.
3. To install a second gun and hose, see page 11.
4. Fill the packing nut/wet–cup (216) 1/3 full with
Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL), supplied, and
keep it filled, to help extend the pump life. See
Fig. 4.
5. Check the engine oil level. Refer to the Honda
engine manual, supplied. This is a summary of the
information: Remove one of the oil fill plugs (A);
the oil should be almost overflowing. See Fig. 4.
Add oil as necessary. Also read the Maintenance
section on page 23.
7. Provide adequate ventilation when spraying indoors.
WARNING
If the LineLazer is used indoors, you must vent the
exhaust to the outdoors or provide adequate ventilation as specified by you local code. This is to
reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
8. Fill the gas tank. See Fueling on page 10.
9. Flush the pump to remove the lightweight oil which
was left in the pump to protect it from rust. Follow the
Flushing on page 12.
10. Prepare the paint according to the manufacturer ’s
recommendations. Remove any skin that may have
formed. Stir the paint to mix pigments.
Strain the paint through a fine nylon mesh bag (available at most paint dealers) to remove particles that
could clog the filter or spray tip. This is an important
step toward trouble–free spraying.
Recommended engine oil: Use a high–quality , detergent oil, SAE 10W–40, classified “FOR SERVICE
SE or SF”.
6. Ground the sprayer. Proper grounding is essential to
maintaining an electrically safe system. Also read
and follow FIRE OR EXPLOSIONHAZARD on page
6.
WARNING
Ground the sprayer whenever it is used indoors,
either as a moving line striper or as a stationary
sprayer. Floors in most factories are coated, which
causes them to be poor electrical conductors. This
increases the risk of hazardous static electric
discharge, which can result in serious injury, fire, or
explosion and property damage.
Whenever you flush: connect the ground clamp
(159) to a true earth ground.
Using as an outdoor striper: Be sure the static
chain attached to the bottom of the cart drags on the
ground to help dissipate static electricity . Ground the
sprayer to a true earth ground if specified by your
local electrical code.
Indoor spraying: Ground the sprayer whenever the
sprayer is used indoors. The ground wire supplied
with the sprayer is not long enough to allow much
operator movement. Therefore, the operator must
provide a longer ground wire or provide some other
method of effective electrical grounding as specified
by your local electrical code.

11. Observe the following cautions to avoid pressure
control damage.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the pressure control, follow these
precautions.
Allow the main hose to act as a pulsation damp-
ener: Always use nylon spray hose at least 50 ft.
(15 m) long for the main gun; Never use a wire
braid hose; it is too rigid.
Never install a ball valve or shutoff device be-
tween the filter and the 50 ft. (15 m) hose.
Do not allow water or water-base material to
freeze in the pressure control.
CAUTION
Close the black fuel shutoff lever whenever you are
transporting the sprayer to prevent fuel from flooding
the engine.
12. To use the wheel brake, lift the brake handle (A–
bottom rear of cart) to engage the brake. Lower
the handle to disengage the break. See Fig. 5. For
positive break engagement, be sure there is
proper tire pressure and that tire wear is not
excessive.
13. For how to operate and adjust the various features
of the LineLazer see pages 11 – 22.
14. Start the sprayer. See page 13.
A
Keep the sprayer upright and level when operating it
and transporting it. This prevents crankcase oil from
leaking into the combustion chamber, which makes
startup very difficult.

safety latch.
NOTE: If you have two guns, release the trigger safety
latch on the second gun and trigger that gun until clean
water or solvent comes from the nozzle. To ensure that
the hoses are well-flushed, flush the first gun and then the
second gun at least one more time.
7. Check all fluid connections for leaks. Relieve pressure before tightening any connections. Start the
sprayer. Recheck the connections for leaks.
8. Remove the suction tube from the solvent pail. Disengage the gun safety latch. T rigger the gun to force
water or solvent from the hose. Do not let the pump
run dry for more than 30 seconds to avoid damaging
the pump packings! Relieve pressure.
2. Changing colors. Use a compatible solvent.
3. Changing from water–base to oil–base paint. Use
warm, soapy water, and then a compatible solvent.
4. Changing from oil–base to water–base paint. Use a
compatible solvent, then warm, soapy water, and
then clean water.
5. Storage. After the compatible solvent flush, relieve
pressure, but do not drain the compatible solvent.
6. Startup after storage.
Before using water–base paint, flush out the compatible solvent with soapy water, and then with clean
water.
When using oil–based paint, flush out the compatible
solvent with the paint to be sprayed.

of paint into the eyes or on the skin of the operator.
Be sure you:
Use the appropriate gasket for the solvent used.
Fully insert the tip into the guard.
Fully tighten the guard onto the gun nozzle
using a wrench.
Turn the handle so it is parallel to the gun
nozzle.
When replacing a worn spray tip, always install
a new gasket and seat.
Gasket Selection
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fluid splashback into the eyes
or on the skin, use the appropriate gasket as
specified in the following text.
Use the black rubber gasket (D) ONLY with latex and
oil-based paints, stoddard solvents, mineral spirits, turpentine and water . When using this gasket, the spray tip
can be removed and replaced without using tools.
Use the red or yellow plastic gasket (C) with the same
fluids as above and with most other solvents, including
lacquer thinner, trichloroethylene, MEK, acetone, brush
cleaner, xylol. When using this gasket, loosen the RAC
IV retaining nut to remove the spray tip.
Installation
Relieve pressure. Install a tip (F) so the flange (G) on the
cylinder fits into the slots (H) at the base of the spray tip
guard (J). See Fig. 11.
Be sure the spray tip handle is in the FULL SPRA Y position before operating the gun. See Fig. 11.
Clearing a Clogged Spray Tip
Disengage the trigger cable(s). Engage the gun safety
latch. Turn the arrow handle to the FULL CLEAN position. See Fig. 13. Release the safety latch and trigger the
gun. Fluid pressure should force out the clog. Return the
arrow handle to the full spray position.

These spray techniques discuss how to use and adjust
the features of the Line Lazer. Y ou must also consider operator technique, job site conditions and weather.
1. Use water rather than paint to practice spraying technique and positioning the guns.
2. Be sure the RAC IV Tip Guard is always parallel to
the ground and the “wings” of the spray tip guard face
the front and back of the unit, as shown in Fig. 15.
8. The spray tip size and the rate at which you move the
unit affect the coating thickness. Generally , the faster you move the unit, the larger the spray tip orifice
should be. The fan width of the spray tip indicates approximately how wide the line will be. See the chart
in Fig. 14 for spray tip application recommendations.
9. Position the guns to suit your requirements. See the
section below and pages 17 to 19.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of a fluid injection injury, always
disengage the remote trigger cable to the gun(s)
and engage the gun trigger safety latch(es) before
moving or adjusting the spray tip guards, guns, or
gun arms. See Page 21.
3. Use the lowest pressure necessary for good atomization. High pressure may cause excessive paint
buildup and overspray.
4. Start moving the Line Lazer before triggering the gun
to prevent a build up of paint at the beginning of the
line. Release the trigger a second before stopping
the Line Lazer. Move at an even rate of speed.
5. Always check your gun adjustments on cardboard or
paper before starting each job. When painting curbs,
paint first in an area that is less frequently seen.
6. Keep in mind that many factors affect the straightness of a line, including uneven surfaces, potholes,
rocks and other debris and a clogged or worn spray
tip. See page 15 for how to clear or change a spray
tip.
7. To minimize the ef fect of bumps on the spray pattern,
keep the spray tip guard centered with the front
wheel axis.
16308-082
10. Traffic paints may be formulated for air spray , airless
spray or have no formulation description.Generally,
air spray formulas are pre–thinned, and will work well
in the Line Lazer, but there may be more overspray.
Non–air spray formulas tend to deliver more lineal
feet of line per gallon with less overspray, since they
are less easily absorbed into the pavement.
1 1. If you use fast–draying traffic paint on a hot day , float
compatible solvent on top of the paint to prevent skin
from forming on it.
Line Width Adjustment
Several factors affect line width: vertical distance of the
spray tip to the spraying surface, spray tip fan pattern, using one or two guns, paint pressure, and a worn or
clogged spray tip.
The typical conditions for a 4 in. wide line are: 317 size
Line Lazer Tip (supplied), the gun positioned one inch
from the lowest vertical position, and just enough pressure to atomize the paint. Depending on the fan pattern
of the spray tip, use one gun to paint 2 to 12 in. wide lines,
and two guns to paint 12 to 24 in. wide lines.
T o decrease line width, lower the gun (if possible) or use
a tip with a narrower fan pattern.
To increase line width, raise the gun, or use a tip with a
wider fan pattern, or use two guns.

How the Dual Gun Selector Works See Fig. 20.
The gun is remotely triggered with the dual gun selector
on the right handlebar . The gun is mounted in the holder
so its trigger rests on a trigger lever which is connected
to the dual gun selector by a trigger cable.
The main gun cable is black. In a two–gun operation, the
second gun cable (402) is black with a light red cover at
each end. Use the color coding to determine how each
trigger cable is routed to the dual gun selector.
How to Release the Dual Gun Selector
Cable
WARNING
The gun is remotely triggered with a dual gun
selector on the handle bar.
To reduce the risk of an injection injury due to
remotely triggering the gun by accident, always
disengage the trigger cable from the block before
handling the gun. See Fig. 21 DETAIL A. The gun
will trigger briefly when releasing the cable!
Before you remove the gun from the holder, engage the gun’s trigger safety latch.
1. To disengage the cable, grasp the cable (1or 402)
just behind the block (48). Pull the cable back about
1/2 inch (13 mm) and then up and out of the block.
The gun will trigger briefly! See Fig. 21.
2. To engage the cable, slide the cable (1) into the block
(48), making sure the end of the cable jacket seats
firmly in the seat of the block. The gun will trigger
briefly! See Fig. 21.
CAUTION
Always note to which gun and position on the dual
gun selector (C) each of the cables goes so that the
correct gun is triggered.
T o trigger the main gun only, move the selector (C) left until the spool (118d) protrudes through the plate (B) and
disengages from the other plate (A).
To trigger the optional second gun only, move the selector (C) right until the spool protrudes through the plate (A)
and disengages from the other plate (B).
To trigger both guns, center the selector (C).
CAUTION
Keep the seat in the gun cable block (48) and the
end of the cable jacket clean at all times to be sure
the cable functions properly.
CAUTION
A loose cable prevents the gun from being fully
triggered causing premature wear of the gun needle.
A tight cable prevents the full trigger release of the
gun resulting in dripping and premature tip wear.

Pressure Control Adjustment
WARNING
Use extreme caution when performing this calibration procedure to reduce the risk of a fluid injection in-
jury or other serious bodily injury , which can result from
component rupture, electric shock, fire, explosion or
moving parts.
This procedure sets the sprayer to 2600–3000 psi
(190–210 bar, 19.0–21.0 MPa) Maximum Working
Pressure.
Perform this procedure whenever the pressure control
assembly is removed and reinstalled, or replaced, to be
sure the sprayer is properly calibrated.
Improper calibration can cause the sprayer to over–
pressurize and result in component rupture, fire or ex-
plosion. It may also prevent the sprayer from obtaining
the maximum working pressure, resulting in poor
sprayer performance.
NEVER attempt to increase the fluid outlet pressure by
performing these calibrations in any other way. Never
Exceed 3000 Psi (210 Bar, 21.0 MPa) Maximum
Working Pressure. Normal operation of the sprayer at
higher pressures could result in component rupture,
fire or explosion.
AL WA YS use a
new
50 foot (15.2 m) spray hose, rated
for at least 3000 psi (210 bar, 21.0 MPa) Maximum
Working Pressure, when performing this procedure. A
used, under–rated hose could develop a high pressure
leak or rupture.
Service Tools Needed:
New 50 foot (15.2 m), 3000 psi (210 bar, 21.0 MPa),
flexible nylon airless spray hose, Part No. 223–541

WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7.
NOTE: Refer to Fig. 29 for this procedure.
1. Remove the front cover (74).
2. Disconnect the pump outlet hose (133).
3. Remove the four screws (81) and lockwashers (46)
from the bearing housing (76).
4. Lightly tap the back of the bearing housing (76) with
a plastic mallet. Pull the pump, bearing housing and
connecting rod away from the drive housing as one
assembly.

lockwashers (59). Remove the four pinion housing
screws (67) and lockwashers (59).
6. Lightly tap around the drive housing (77) with a plastic mallet to loosen it from the pinion housing (138p).
CAUTION
Do not drop the gear cluster (78) when removing the
drive housing (77). The gear cluster is easily damaged. The gear may stay engaged in either the drive
housing or the pinion housing.
Do not lose the thrust balls (77c and 138k) located at
each end of the gear cluster. The balls, which are
heavily covered with grease, usually stay in the shaft
recesses, but they could be dislodged. If they are
caught between the gears and not removed, the balls
will seriously damage the drive housing. If the balls
are not in place, the bearings will wear prematurely.
7. Liberally apply bearing grease (77d, supplied) to the
gear cluster (78). Be sure the thrust balls (77c and
138k) are in place.
8. Place the bronze colored washer (77a) and then the
