Warnings
Warnings
The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When
these symbols appear in the body of this manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific
hazard symbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where
applicable.
WARNING
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
•For information on the required dimensions of the flameproof joints contact the holder of this certificate (Graco Inc); Flamepath joints are not intended to be repaired.
•Special fasteners for securing equipment covers shall have a minimum yield strength of 1,100 MPa
and be corrosion resistant and sized M8 x 1.25 x 30.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
This equipment must be grounded. Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.
•Turn off and disconnect power at main switch before disconnecting any cables and before servicing
or installing equipment.
•Connect only to grounded power source.
•All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electr ician and comply with all local codes and
regulations.
BURN HAZARD
Equipment surfaces and fluid that is heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe
burns:
•Do not touch hot fluid or equipment.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. Paint or solvent
flowing through the equipment can cause static sparking. To help prevent fire and explosion:
•Use equipment only in well-ventilated area.
•Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop
cloths (potential static sparking).
•Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.
•Never spray or flush solvent at high pressure.
•Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
•Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes
are present.
•Use only grounded hoses.
•Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail. Do not use pail liners unless they
are anti-static or conductive.
•Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock. Do not use equipment until
you identify and correct the problem.
•Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
•Never operate with covers removed. Do not open when energized.
•Install conduit within 18 in (457 mm).
•Do not install if operating temperature exceeds ignition temperature of hazardous atmosphere.

Warnings
WARNING
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.
•Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
•Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
•Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
•Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
•Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
•Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or
servicing equipment.
•Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
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.
•Read Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
•Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Wear appropriate protective equipment when in the work area to help prevent serious injury, including
eye injury, hearing loss, inhalation of toxic fumes, and burns. Protective equipment includes but is not
limited to:
•Protective eyewear, and hearing protection.
•Respirators, protective clothing, and gloves as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer.
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 mater ial, request Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) from distributor or retailer.
•Do not leave the work area while equipment is energized or under pressure.
•Turn off all equipment and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when equipment is not in use.
•Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine manufacturer’s replacement parts only.
•Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency approvals and create
safety hazards.
•Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are using it.
•Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.
•Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.
•Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
•Keep children and animals away from work area.
•Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

Warnings
WARNING
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Use of fluids that are incompatible with aluminum in pressurized equipment can cause serious chemical
reaction and equipment rupture. Failure to follow this warning can result in death, serious injury, or
property damage.
•Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such solvents.
•Do not use chlorine bleach.
•Many other fluids maycontain chemicals that can react with aluminum. Contact your material supplier
for compatibility.
THERMAL EXPANSION HAZARD
Fluids subjected to heat in confined spaces, including hoses, can create a rapid rise in pressure due to
the thermal expansion. Over-pressurization can result in equipment rupture and serious injury.
•Open a valve to relieve the fluid expansion during heating.
•Replace hoses proactively at regular intervals based on your operating conditions.

General InformationSelecting Tubing
Fluid loses some heat through the tubing or hose
between the heater and spray gun. Locate heater close
to the spray area to minimize heat loss through plumb-
•Select system components that meet temperature and pressure ratings listed in TechnicalData, page 28. The heater’s normal output range
is adjustable from 84-220°F (29-104°C).
•To prevent fire and explosion, locate heater away
from all flammable materials and where operators will not come in contact with hot metal surfaces.
•To avoid burns, insulate and/or label lines and
components exiting heater that may become hot.
NOTICE
ing.
The chart in FIG. 2 shows a heat loss curve for 3 common types of tubing.
Chart Notes:
•Higher flow rates have less heat loss.
•Foam-insulated steel tubing and high pressure airless paint hose retain heat best. Insulated tubing
and hose are more expensive, but higher costs are
commonly offset by lower operating costs.
Component Identification
The inlet fluid temperature cannot exceed 275°F
(135°C). This will cause the heater to exceed its rated
temperature code.
