ing in the body of the manual refer to these general warnings. When these symbols appear throughout the manual, refer back to these pages for a description of the specific hazard.

WARNING

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system

component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.

• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all

equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information about your material, request MSDS forms from distributor or retailer.

• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine Graco replacement parts only.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

High-pressure fluid from dispense valve, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical

treatment.

• Do not point dispense valve at anyone or at any part of the body.

• Do not put your hand over the end of the dispense nozzle.

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

• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop dispensing and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.

MOVING PARTS HAZARD

Moving parts can pinch or amputate fingers and other body parts.

• Keep clear of moving parts.

• Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.

• Pressurized equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing equipment, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual. Disconnect power or air supply.

• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as cigarettes and portable electric lamps.

• Keep work area free of debris, including rags and spilled or open containers of solvent and gasoline.

• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.

• Ground all equipment in the work area.

• Use only grounded hoses.

• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.

• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD

Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or swallowed.

Installation

General Information

NOTE: Reference numbers and letters in parenthe-

ses in the text refer to the callouts in the figures and parts drawing.

NOTE: Always use genuine Graco parts and accessories, available from your Graco distributor.

Air Line Accessories

See page 6 for recommended air accessories and installation.

Grounding

Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommenda-

tions.

Dispense valve: ground through connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.

Fluid supply container: follow local code.

To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure: hold metal part of the dispense

valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the valve.

To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump and all other components used or located in the dispensing area. Check your local electrical code for detailed instructions for your area and type of equipment.

Ground this equipment:

Pump: remove the ground screw (Z) and insert through

the eye of the ring terminal at end of ground wire (Y). Fasten the ground screw back onto the pump and tighten securely. Connect the other end of the ground wire to a true earth ground. See F

ground wire and clamp, order Part No. 222011.

Typical Installation

The installation shown below is only a guide for selecting and installing system components and accessories. Contact your Graco distributor for assistance in designing a system to suit your particular needs.

Air Line and Accessories

NOTE: Install air line accessories in the order

shown in the Typical Installation illustration.

• Install a pump runaway valve (G) to shut off the air to the pump if the pump accelerates beyond the preadjusted setting. A pump that runs too fast can be seriously damaged.

• Install an air line lubricator (F) for automatic air motor lubrication.

• Install a bleed-type master air valve (H) to relieve air trapped between the valve and the motor when the valve is closed.

6 309967F

Trapped air can cause the air motor to cycle unexpectedly, causing serious injury if you are adjusting or repairing the pump. Be sure to follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 11.

• Install the air regulator (C) to control pump speed and pressure.

• On the main air supply line from the compressor, install an air line filter (E) to remove harmful dirt and contaminants fro the compressed air supply.

• For models 253384 through 253390, install the provided air regulator/safety valve (K) at the pump air inlet with the nipple (9a, also included).

Avoid hanging air accessories directly on the pump air inlet. The fittings are not strong enough to support the accessories and may cause one or more to break. If accessories must be installed directly on the pump, provide a bracket on which to mount them.
