Installation/Operation
CAUTION
The Premier air motor is designed for intermittent
duty cycle applications, such as spraying of corrosion
control materials, or adhesive and sealant applications. It is not recommended for continuous duty
circulating systems. Contact your Graco distributor
for further application information.
Mounting Accessories
Mount the motor to suit the type of installation planned.
Motor dimensions and the mounting hole layout are
shown on page 27.
If you are mounting the motor on an elevator or a cart,
refer to the separate manuals supplied with those
components for installation and operation instructions.
NOTE: Reference numbers and letters in parentheses
in the text refer to the callouts in the figures and the
parts drawings.
NOTE: Always use Genuine Graco Parts and Accessories, available from your Graco distributor. If you
supply your own accessories, be sure they are adequately sized and pressure rated for your system.
System Accessories
WARNING
A bleed-type master air valve and a fluid drain
valve are required in your system. These accessories help reduce the risk of serious injury, including
fluid injection and splashing of fluid in the eyes or
on the skin, and injury from moving parts if you are
adjusting or repairing the pump.
The bleed-type master air valve relieves air trapped
between this valve and the pump after the air is
shut off. Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle
unexpectedly. Locate the valve close to the pump.
The fluid drain valve assists in relieving fluid pressure in the displacement pump, hose, and gun.
Triggering the gun to relieve pressure may not be
sufficient.
Air Line Accessories
The following air line accessories are available from
Graco. Contact your Graco distributor for help in
designing a system to suit your particular needs.
D A bleed-type master air valve is required in your
system to relieve air trapped between it and the air
motor when the valve is closed (see the WARNING
at left). Be sure the bleed valve is easily accessible
from the motor, and is located downstream from
the air regulator. Order Part No. 113163.
D An air regulator controls pump speed and outlet
pressure by adjusting the air pressure to the motor.
Locate the regulator close to the motor, but up-stream from the bleed-type master air valve.
D An air line filter removes harmful dirt and moisture
from the compressed air supply.
D An air line lubricator adds oil to the compressed
air supply at an adjustable rate, to automatically
lubricate the air motor.
D A pump runaway valve senses when the pump is
running too fast and automatically shuts off the air
to the motor. A pump which runs too fast can be
seriously damaged. Install closest to the motor air
inlet.

Grounding
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Before operating the pump, ground the
system as explained below. Also read
the section FIRE AND EXPLOSIONHAZARD on page 5.
1. Pump: use a ground wire and clamp (supplied).
See Fig. 1. Loosen the grounding lug locknut (W)
and washer (X). Insert one end of a 1.5 mm@ (12
ga) minimum ground wire (Y) into the slot in lug (Z)
and tighten the locknut securely. Connect the other
end of the wire to a true earth ground. Order Part
No. 237569 Ground Wire and Clamp.

2. Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
hoses.
3. Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommen-
dations.
4. Spray gun: ground through connection to a prop-
erly grounded fluid hose and pump.
5. Fluid supply container: follow your local code.
6. Object being sprayed: follow your local code.
7. Solvent pails used when flushing: follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the
pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.

Troubleshooting the Air Motor
Preventive Maintenance Schedule
The operating conditions of your particular system
determine how often maintenance is required. Establish a preventive maintenance schedule by recording
when and what kind of maintenance is needed, and
then determine a regular schedule for checking your
system.
Air Motor Cylinder
Premier motors require lubrication and continuous
maintenance including the replacement of the air motor
cylinder casting at least every 15,000,000 cycles of
use. Use Premier cylinder repair kit 16P239.
Repair or replace the Air Valve assembly (222799)
whenever motor stalling or hesitation occurs. This
ensures the motor does not overtravel and cause
added stress to the cylinder casting.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Without proper maintenance, the cylinder casting (120026) may fracture
unexpectedly due to metal fatigue. This
is a potentially hazardous condition and
may result in serious injury. The precise
life of this casting is difficult to predict
and is affected by the operating pressure, number
of cycles, lubrication and air valve maintenance.
Checking the Air Motor for Leaks
or Damaged Parts
If the pump is not performing well, the problem could
be in the air motor. To check the air motor, perform the
following steps.
1. Close the bleed-type master air valve. Disconnect
the air line.
2. Remove the shroud. Refer to page 11.
3. Reinstall the air inlet fitting (22). Reconnect the air
line.
4. Open the bleed-type master air valve and set the
air regulator to about 0.1 MPa, 1 bar (14 psi).
Observe the rocker arms and trip rods for smooth
operation. Check at points A through E in Fig. 2 by
listening or feeling for escaping air, or squirting a
small amount of oil around the suspected leak.
The oil will bubble if air is leaking. Refer to the
sections noted in the Check Chart for detailed
service procedures.
Check Chart
NOTE: Service the air valve every 3 million cycles. If
the air motor stalls, service the air valve immediately.
