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 on 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.
GROUNDING
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
• Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock.
• When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal.
• The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes
is the grounding wire.
• Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
• Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
• This product is for use on a nominal 120V or 230V circuit and has a grounding plug similar
to the plugs illustrated below.
ti24583b
• Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
• Do not use an adapter with this product.
Extension Cords:
•
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a grounding plug and a grounding receptacle that
accepts the plug on the product.
• Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. If an extension cord is necessary use 12
AWG (2.5mm
2
) minimum to carry the current that the product draws.
• An undersized cord results in a drop in line voltage and loss of power and overheating.

Warnings
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:
• Do not spray combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition such as
cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
• Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static electricity. Static
electricity creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes. All
parts of the spray system, including the pump, hose assembly, spray gun, and objects in
and around the spray area shall be properly grounded to protect against static discharge
and sparks. Use Graco conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses.
• Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge.
Do not use pail liners unless they are anti-static or conductive.
• Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extensions cords. Do not use a 3-to-2
adapter.
• Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
• Do not spray combustible liquids in a confined area.
• Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
• Sprayer generates sparks. Keep pump assembly in a well ventilated area a least 20 feet
(6.1 m) from the spray area when spraying, flushing, cleaning, or servicing. Do not spray
pump assembly.
• Do not smoke in the spray area or spray where sparks or flame is present.
• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray
area.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable
materials.
• Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and
solvents manufacturer’s safety instructions.
• Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
63A3212C
Warnings
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the
event that injection occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.
• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop
leaks with any part of the body.
• Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without nozzle tip guard in place.
• Use Graco nozzle tips.
• Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs
while spraying, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit and relieving
the pressure before removing the nozzle tip to clean.
• Equipment maintains pressure after power is shut off. Do not leave the equipment
energized or under pressure while unattended. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
when the equipment is unattended or not in use, and before servicing, cleaning, or
removing parts.
• Check hoses and parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged hoses or parts.
• This system is capable of producing 3000 psi. Use Graco replacement parts or accessories
that are rated a minimum of 3000 psi.
• Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioning
properly.
• Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit.
• Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the
controls.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, and a respirator or mask when painting.
• Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from equipment at all times.
• Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep effective footing and balance at
all times.
• Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not kink or over-bend the hose.
• Do not expose the hose to temperatures or to pressures in excess of those specified by
Graco.
• Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the equipment.
• Do not spray with a hose shorter than 25 feet.
• 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.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
This equipment must be grounded. Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can
cause electric shock.
• Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.
• Connect only to grounded electrical outlets.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords.
• Ensure ground prongs are intact on power and extension cords.
• Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
