Caution Symbol
CAUTION
This symbol alerts you to the possibility of damage to
or destruction of equipment if you do not follow the
instructions.
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.

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 not sure, call your distributor.
D Do not alter or modify this equipment.
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. The Series
1200 and 2000 turbines have a working pressure of 6 psi (0.41 bar).
D Use fluids and solvents which are compatible with the equipment wetted parts. Refer to the Speci-
fications on page 5 for this information.
D Do not use hoses to pull equipment.
D Route hoses away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces. Do not expose
Graco hoses to temperatures above 82_C (180_F) or below –40_C (–40_F).

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 gun fluid 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 Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 9 if the fluid nozzle 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.
WARNING
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.
D Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or
fluids containing such solvents in the turbine spray system, which contains aluminum and/or galvanized-coated parts. Such use could result in a serious chemical reaction, with the possibility of
explosion, which could cause death, serious injury, and/or substantial property damage.
General Information
PTFE
PTFE
The Series 1200 and 2000 Turbine Spray Guns can
spray most coatings or finishes currently being used
for automotive refinish, industrial, aerospace, marine,
wood, plastic and architectural applications.
The spray gun typically utilizes 6.0 (0.41 bar) inbound
air pressure to produce high quality paint finishes. The
gun produces a cone of air that carries and directs the
paint from the gun to the surface, minimizing overspray
and increasing transfer efficiency. This enables painters to comply with new clean air laws that are designed to reduce VOC (volatile organic compounds)
emissions, eases paint application by requiring fewer
paint passes to obtain coverage, and saves on both
material and clean-up time.
Refer to the turbine gun manual, 308–336, for more
information on the operation and use of the turbine
spray gun.
Unpack the Graco Turbine Sprayer from the shipping
carton and inspect for any possible shipping damage.
If necessary, call the Customer Service toll–free number at 800–328–0211.
The contents of the Series 1200 Turbine Sprayer,
Model M73378, includes:
NOTE: Refer to the turbine gun manual, 308–336, for
information on the operation and setup of the gun.
Connect the Fluid and Air Supply
1. Connect the hose to the gun.
2. Connect the gun air supply hose (A) between the
turbine air outlet (D) and the gun air inlet. See
Fig. 1.
3. If using a spray gun cup (B), connect the cup to
the gun fluid inlet.
4. If using an accessory remote pressure pot (C),
connect the fluid supply hose (G) between the gun
fluid inlet and the remote pressure pot.
Connect the air hose (E) between the pressure pot
air inlet and the compressor air outlet (F).

Connect to Electric Supply
1. Plug the sprayer power cord into a grounded
outlet.
2. If an extension cord is used, it must be 3-wire, 12
AWG and 100 ft or less in length.

Setup
Prepare the Fluid
1. Always strain the fluid before spraying; this
includes color, reducer and hardeners if used.
2. When using a turbine spray system, you need to
use a slower drying reducer or thinner to compensate for the faster drying time caused by the warm
air of the turbine. Do not over reduce.

CAUTION
The performance of the turbine sprayer will vary
with the viscosity of the material. Unnecessary hose
length will cause the air pressure to drop.
Paint Reduction – Automotive Type Finishes
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer’s specifications. To compensate for the faster drying time of
turbine systems, use a reducer one-step slower than
what is used for conventional air spray.
Paint Reduction – Industrial or Domestic Coatings
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer’s specifications. If no reductions are given, first thoroughly
mix the fluid to be sprayed. Then gradually mix in the
proper reducer, testing the fluid until you have the
correct spraying consistency.
To test the consistency: Remove the stir stick from the
thinned paint. When the paint stream running off the
stir stick breaks into droplets, the first few drops should
be about one second apart.
WARNING
The remote pressure pots remain pressurized until
pressure is manually relieved. To reduce the risk of
serious injury from pressurized fluid or accidental
spray from the gun, always relieve pressure in the
pressure pot before loosening or removing the
cover.
1. Relieve the remote pressure pot pressure by
following these steps:
a. Turn off the air supply to the pressure pot.
b. 2 1/2 Gallon Remote Pot: Pull the pressure
relief valve ring (205) until pressure is completely relieved.
2 Quart Remote Pot: Turn out the pressure
relief knob (113) about one turn. Wait until
pressure is completely relieved before removing the cover. Close the knob before using the
system again.
See Fig. 3.
Fill the Cup or Remote Pressure Pot
Spray Gun Cup
WARNING
The spray gun cup is pressurized by the gun’s air
supply. To reduce the risk of serious injury from
pressurized fluid or accidental spray from the gun,
always turn off the air supply to the gun before
removing the spray gun cup.
Only fill the cup 3/4 full to help keep the air pressure
tube clean, then install the cover. The under-cup cover
has a latch (H) to secure it to the cup. The over-cup
has a ring with notches (J) that secures the cup hood
into place when locked in place on the cup.
