The following are general W arnings related to the safe setup, use, maintenance and repair of this equipment. Additional, more specific warnings may be found throughout the text of this manual where applicable.

WARNING

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:

D Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

D Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic

drop clothes (potential static arc).

D Sprayer generates sparks. When flammable liquid is used in or near sprayer or for flushing or

cleaning, keep sprayer at least 20 ft (6 m) away from explosive vapors.

D Do not clean with materials having flash points lower than 70_F(21_C). Use water--based materi-

als or mineral spirits type material only. For complete information about your fluid, request the MSDS from the fluid distributor or retailer.

D Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.

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

D Ground equipment and conductive objects in work area. Read Grounding instructions.

D If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operating immediately. Do not use equipment

until you identify and correct the problem.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

High pressure fluid from gun, 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.

D Do not point gun at anyone or any part of the body.

D Do not put your hand over the spray tip.

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

D Engage trigger lock when not spraying.

D Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,

checking or servicing equipment.

PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD

Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such solvents in this equipment. 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.

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

D Read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equipment.

D Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your Graco distributor for information.

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

component. This gun has a 150 psi (10 bar) maximum fluid working pressure at a 125 psi (9 bar) maximum incoming air pressure. Read Technical Data in all equipment manuals.

D Do not alter or modify equipment.

D Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

D Do not lift pressurized equipment.

D Route the hoses away from the traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces. Do not

expose Graco hoses to temperatures above 180_F(82_C) or below --40_F(--40_C).

D Do not use hoses to pull equipment.

D Keep children and animals away from work area.

D Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

D Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or

fluids containing such solvents in this equipment, which contains aluminum and/or zinc 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.

D Wear eye and ear protection when operating this equipment. Keep body parts away from front of

gun. See Sound Data in

TECHNICAL DATA.

TOXIC FLUID HAZARD

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

D Read MSDS’s to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.

D Store hazardous fluid in approved containers and dispose of it according to all applicable guide-

lines.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic fumes, burns, and hearing loss. This equipment includes, but is not limited to:

D Protective eye wear.

D Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer.

D Gloves.

D Hearing protection.

Component Description

Flow and Air Control

Fig. 1. The flow control (A) has a shut off and pressure relief feature to soft start each time the gun is triggered, instead of a blast of unatomized material. The flow control has three modes:

D LOW/MED/HIGH: Triggering the gun sends an air

signal to the flow control that closes the prime valve and starts the pump which fills the material hose. When the gun trigger is released, the prime valve opens and relieves the system pressure into the supply container. When the gun is triggered the automatic pressure relief, special TexSpray hoses and pump design eliminate blasts of material and spray pulsing to ensure consistent atomization.

D OFF: Puts the sprayer in neutral/relieve pressure --

neither the pump nor the gun will operate and there is no material pressure in the pump, hose or gun.

D PRIME: The prime valve remains open so material

circulates through the pump and back to the supply container through the drain hose.

The air control (B) increases or decreases the air pressure to the sprayer from the air supply.

of the gun will not exceed the working pressure rating of the components. The maximum fluid working pressure of the GM 1030 TexSpray is 750 psi (5.1 MPa, 51 bar), but the recommended maximum is 500 psi (3.4 MPa, 34 bar).

Fig. 2. Air flow is controlled at the gun. During priming, turn the gun air control valve (D) in fully to prevent air from mixing with the fluid, which allows you to check and adjust the fluid flow accurately. (When this valve is closed the air exits the rear of the gun.) During operation, open the air control valve to introduce air at the correct volume for the desired spray pattern. The gun also has a trigger bail (E) to reduce operator fatigue when spraying large surfaces.

NOTE: This sprayer requires an external air compres-

sor.

CAUTION

Install an air filter on external air compressor to reduce contamination to spray system.

Spark plug: Use only a (NGK) BP6ES or BPR6ES plug. Gap plug to 0.025 to 0.030 in. (0.7 to 0.8 mm). Always use a spark plug wrench.

6 months: Clean Air Flow Sensor as follows:

1. Fig. 3. Loosen adapter (A). Pull down quick release (C) and swing out flow sensor regulator. Disconnect connector (B).

2. Remove inlet fitting (D), retainer ring (E), piston (F) and spring (G) from flow sensor regulator (H).

Maintenance

CAUTION

D For detailed engine maintenance and specifica-

tions, refer to separate HONDA engine manual.

D Close black fuel shutoff lever whenever you are

transporting sprayer to prevent fuel from flooding engine.

D Keep sprayer upright and level when operating it

and when transporting it. This prevents crankcase oil from leaking into combustion chamber, which makes startup very difficult.

3. Clean all parts (D, E, F, G). Clean inside of (H) with a pipe cleaner.

4. Assemble all parts and install flow sensor regulator.

Daily: Check engine oil level and fill as needed.

Daily: Check and fill gas tank.

Daily: Check sprayer air filter, clean and replace
