A Fire and explosion hazard exists
any time you spray or flush flammable fluids.
To help prevent fire or explosion when
spraying flammable fluids
D Be sure sprayer is adequately grounded
through electrical outlet as follows:
– Use only grounded electrical outlets.
– Use only 3-wire extension cords.
– Make sure ground prongs are intact
on sprayer and extension cords.
D Motor in this sprayer is a source of
sparks. Keep sprayer in well-ventilated
area, at least 20 feet (6 meters) away
from gun when spraying or flushing.
D Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying or flushing flammable fluids.
D Avoid all ignition sources, such as pilot
lights, cigarettes, and plastic drop cloths
(static arc hazard). Do not plug in or
unplug power cords or turn lights on or
off in spray area.
D Tape wall switches to prevent them from being turned
off or on.
D Do not smoke in spray area.
D Use only M
D Use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Do not use 1,1,1–trichloroethane, methylene
chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents or fluids containing such solvents
in pressurized aluminum equipment such as
this sprayer and gun. Such use could result in
chemical reaction and possible explosion.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause
serious injury or death if splashed in eyes
eyes or on skin, inhaled, or swallowed.
To help prevent injury or death from
toxic fluids
D Know specific hazards of fluid you are using; store
hazardous fluid in approved tub; dispose of
hazardous fluid according to all local, state, and
national guidelines.
D Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing, and
respirator as recommended by fluid and solvent
manufacturer.
AGNUM or Graco airless paint hoses.
FLUID INJECTION HAZARD
If high-pressure fluid pierces skin,
the injury might look like “just a cut”
but is a serious wound. Get
immediate medical attention.
To help prevent injection
D Always put trigger safety lever in SAFETY
ON position when not spraying.
D Always shut off power and relieve pressure
when you stop spraying and before you
service or clean sprayer, remove parts, or
repair leaks. See Pressure ReliefProcedure below.
D Do not allow children to use this equipment.
D Keep clear of tip, and never point gun at
yourself or anyone else.
STARTUP HAZARD AFTER THERMAL OVERLOAD
Motor has thermal overload switch to
shut itself down if overheated. To reduce risk of injury
from motor restarting unexpectedly when it cools, always
turn Power switch OFF if motor shuts down.
FLUID SPLASHBACK HAZARD
Wear protective eyewear at all times.
To avoid splashing fluid when spraying
into pail, always aim at inside wall of pail.
Make sure gun is assembled with correct
gasket for fluid being sprayed. See Installing Tip &
Guard inenclosed Operator’s Quick Guide.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
M
AGNUM sprayers are capable of
producing up to 3000 psi (21 MPa, 207 bar)
maximum working pressure. To avoid
component rupture and injury, do not operate sprayer
with components rated less than pressure of sprayer.
Sprayer is equipped with a pressure drain that
automatically relieves overpressure in the event of a fault
condition. This automatic pressure relief may cause
splashing of fluid. Correct fault before you resume spraying.
NOTE: Inadequate flushing and/or dried paint in drain
system may prevent proper overpressure relief.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Gun, hose, and sprayer are grounded
through electrical cord of sprayer.
To help prevent electric shock
D Use only grounded electrical outlets.
D Only use 3-wire extension cords.
D Make sure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and
extension cords.
D Keep electrical connections and inside of shroud dry.

Motor Diagnostics
Check for electrical continuity in the motor armature, windings, and brush as follows:
If Motor Diagnostics reveal a damaged motor, or if either of the motor brushes are shorter than 1/4 in. (6.4 mm),
or if the motor shaft cannot turn, replace the motor using Motor Kit 245080 for DX models or 243236 for XR models.
See Electric Shock Hazard on
page 7.
See Pressure Relief
Procedure
Setup
1. Unplug electrical cord, and relieve pressure.
2. Remove right enclosure, and disconnect motor
harness from control board.
3. Remove fan brace.
4. Remove the four cover screws and front cover.
5. Remove yoke and guide rods, and remove gear.
on page 6.
Armature Short Circuit Test (Spin Test) (XR Models
only)
Quickly turn motor fan by hand. If there are no electrical shorts, fan coasts two or three revolutions before
stopping. If fan does not spin freely, armature is
shorted. Replace motor using Motor Kit 245080 for
DX models or 243236 for XR models.
Armature, Brushes, and Motor Wiring Open
Circuit Test (Continuity) (XR models only)
1. Connect red and black motor leads together with
test lead. Turn motor fan by hand at about two
revolutions per second.
2. If there is uneven resistance or no resistance,
replace motor using Motor Kit245080 for DX
models or 243236 for XR models.
Control Board Diagnostics
Check for a damaged control board or pressure control switch as follows:
See Electric Shock Hazard on
page 7.
See Pressure Relief
Procedure
1. Unplug electrical cord, and relieve pressure.
2. Remove the four cover screws and front cover.
3. Remove yoke and guide rods, and remove gear.
4. Remove pressure control harness from control
board. Using fingernail or tip of small, flat-
blade screwdriver, press tab on right side
connector to release.
on page 6.
5. Attach to the control board a harness from a
pressure switch that you know is functioning
correctly.
NOTE: Pressure control switch does not have to
be installed in pump.
6. Turn pressure control adjustment knob to maximum pressure setting.
7. Plug electrical cord into 120V AC receptacle, and
turn Power switch (B) ON.
DIf motor runs, replace pressure switch.

Pump Diagnostics
All Models
CAUTION
When repairing or cleaning the pump, never submerge the pump in water or allow fluid to enter the pressure control.
When the pump packings wear, paint begins to leak down the outside of the pump. Replace the pump packings at
the first sign of leaking, or additional damage could occur. Use pump repair kit 245078 for DX models or 243090 for
XR models.

CAUTION
When repairing or cleaning the pump, never submerge the pump in water or allow fluid to enter the pressure control.
If the sprayer continues to cycle (motor and pump run) when the spray gun trigger is released, or if performance is
poor even with new spray tips and clean filters, the pump inlet or outlet valve my be obstructed or worn. If a pump
valve is worn, replace it.
