Installation
General Information
•FIG. 3 on page 8 is only a guide for installing system
components and accessories. It is not an actual system design. Contact your Graco distributor for assistance in designing a system to suit your particular
needs.
• 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.
• Reference numbers and letters in parentheses refer
to the reference numbers in the figures and the
parts list on page 23.
Tighten Threaded Connections
Installation
1. Before each use, check all hoses for wear or damage and replace as necessary.
2. Check to be sure all threaded connections are tight
and leak-free.
3. Check and re-torque all screws and fasteners at
least every two months. Re-torque the fluid cover
screws first, followed by the manifold screws. Note:
Before using pump, loosen fluid cover screws (31)
1-2 turns and then re-torque to 20 N•m (15 ft-lb).

Installation
Mounting the Pump
For ease of operation and service, mount the pump so
the air inlet, fluid inlet, and fluid outlet ports are easily
accessible. The inlet port must point down and the outlet
port must point up.
Use 5/8 in. lag screws or bolts for mounting.
To ensure proper operation, mount the pump in a
horizontal position.
Wall Mount Installation
1. Wall Mount Kit 245875 is available. See FIG.1.
2. Be sure the wall can support the weight of the
pump, bracket, hoses and accessories, as well as
the stress caused during operation.
3. Using the wall bracket (B) as a template, drill 5/8 in.
mounting holes in the wall. See page 27 for a wall
mounting diagram. Mount the bracket 1.2-1.5 m (4-5
ft) above the floor.
Floor Stand Installation
Floor Stand Kit 245874 is available. See FIG.2to
assemble.
4. Attach the bracket (B) to the pump (A) with the
screws (C) and washers (D) provided in the kit.
5. Attach the bracket to the wall. Use screws (E) that
are long enough to keep the pump from vibrating
during operation. Be sure the pump is level.

Installation
Air Line
1. Install the air line accessories as shown in FIG.3.
Mount these accessories on the wall or on a
bracket. Be sure the air line supplying the accessories is grounded.
a. Install an air regulator (C) and gauge to control
the fluid pressure. The fluid outlet pressure will
be three times the setting of the air regulator.
b. A bleed-type master air valve (B) is required in
your system to relieve air trapped between it
and the pump when the valve is closed. Trapped
air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly
which could result in serious injury including
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or injury
from moving parts. Be sure the bleed valve is
easily accessible from the pump, and is located
downstream from the air regulator.
c. The air line filter (D) removes harmful dirt and
moisture from the compressed air supply.
Fluid Outlet Line
1. Use conductive fluid hoses (J). See FIG.3.See
Technical Data on page 25 to determine the fluid
outlet size of your pump.
2. Install a fluid drain valve (G) near the fluid outlet.
The fluid drain valve is required to relieve pressure
in the hose and gun. The drain valve reduces the
risk of serious injury, including splashing in the eyes
or on the skin, or injury from toxic fluids.
3. Install a shutoff valve (H) in the fluid outlet line.
d. A second bleed-type air valve (T) isolates the air
line accessories for servicing. Locate upstream
from all other air line accessories.
2. Install a grounded, flexible air hose (A) between the
accessories and the pump air inlet. See Technical
Data on page 25 to determine the air inlet size of
your pump. Use a minimum 13 mm (1/2 in.) ID air
hose.
3. Screw an air line quick disconnect coupler (N) onto
the end of the air hose (A), and screw the mating fitting into the pump air inlet snugly. Do not connect
the coupler to the fitting until you are ready to operate the pump.
Fluid Suction Line
• Use conductive hoses (E). See FIG.3.
• See Technical Data on page 25 to determine the
fluid inlet size of your pump.
• For maximum suction lift (wet and dry) information,
see Technical Data on page 25.
