Spray Pack
Important Information
This Spray Pack should only be used with the Graco VLP Spray Station 2900 or 3900. Using with another VLP unit may affect the Spray Packʼs performance. This does
not affect your statutory rights.
Tip: As per the use of the 1 Qt container, low temperatures can make paint thicker and we therefore recommend spraying in temperatures at a minimum of 59˚F.
Ensure that your spray material/paint is also at room temperature before you start any spraying job.
Dilution – (calculating the right dilution is required if you are using paint in the Spray Pack).
Dip the viscosity cup into the material and fill up. Check the guide below for the viscosity rating for your machines. Time how long it takes for the paint to empty from the
viscosity cup, stop timing when the continuous flow of material from the bottom of the cup breaks (Fig.4). If the paint requires thinning, start with a 10% dilution of the paint.
To do this, part fill a container with one quart of paint. The viscosity cup supplied with the unit holds 10% of a quart, block the hole in the viscosity cup and fill up with the
required thinner. Add the thinner to the paint and stir, measure the viscosity. If the paint requires further thinning, dilute the paint by another 5% (5% will be equal to half a
viscosity cup) with the required thinner and measure the viscosity, if the paint is not at its recommended viscosity, repeat the above step.
The Spray Station 3900 has a viscosity rating of 180 seconds. If the paint has emptied the viscosity cup in less than 180 seconds then you will not need to thin your
paint or material. If it is above this then thinning will be required.
The Spray Pack has a viscosity rating of 110 seconds. If the paint has emptied the viscosity cup in less than 110 seconds then you will not need to thin your paint or
material. If it is above this then thinning will be required.
The above ratings are a guide, dependent on paint formulation further dilution may be required in increments of 5%.
1. Open the spray material container and mix the spray material for 1 minute with a paint stirrer and drill.
2. Check viscosity of material.
3. Add 10% water to dilute, mix again with the stirrer and drill.
4. Pour some of the mixture into the spray pack and try using it. If you are not happy with the finish, add 5% more. With the Spray Pack paint can be diluted up to
20% to ensure that it sprays with a good finish.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
Q: Spray material does not reach spray gun when
trigger is activated.
1. Check the dilution of your paint and if too thick, dilute more.
2. Check air hose and tubes are connected properly. The air supply from Spray Station is not reaching Spray Pack
container.
3. Check that the Spray Pack Container lid is sealed.
4. Check if spray gun fluid tip is blocked and fluid needle is free to move. Check spray gun manual on how to
clean.
5. Level of spray material in container is too low & needs to be filled.
Q: Painting up high = less paint. Ensure the straps are tight on Spray Pack and is positioned high on the back (Fig.1-3).
Q: Paint leaks down air tube. Check the duck bill valve is securely fitted inside the Spray Pack (Fig.1-5).
Q: Paint leaks around paint tube/connection
point.
Check o-ring is present and fitted properly on the paint spigot.
Check if o-ring is worn, if so, replace o-ring (Fig.1-7).
Spraying Set Up - see page 2, Fig.1 for reference.
1. Take Spray Pack out of box. Check that the o-ring (Fig.1-7) is in place and attach the spray gun and 4.6’ (short) clear tube (Fig.1-4) using the quick connect clip
(Fig.1-E).
2. Try on the Spray Pack (before filling with paint) to check for fit and comfort. Adjust straps (Fig.1-3) as necessary to ensure that the Spray Pack sits high on the back.
3. Before adding paint/ material to the Spray Pack, strain old or lumpy paint to avoid blockages. In a suitable container dilute the paint or spray material to the right
viscosity, using the dilution guide in this manual and the viscosity cup that was supplied with your Spray Station unit.
4. Stir paint or material thoroughly for approximately 1 minute. This is very important for good operation of the sprayer. We
would recommend use of a paint stirrer with a drill and make sure paint is not less than 59˚F.
5. Pour your stirred spray material into the Spray Pack, no higher than the neck of the Spray Pack (see Fig.5).
6. Check the lid seal (Fig.1-8) in lid cap (Fig.1-1) and verify it is in place. Screw lid as tightly as possible to prevent any leaks.
7. Wet the end of the tube with warm water to attach the 13’ (long) clear tube to the top of the Spray Pack (Fig.1-6)
8. Take the black air hose and push firmly into the back of the spray gun and twist (Fig.1).
9. Put the Spray Pack on your back and tighten straps (WARNING: Spray Pack weighs approximately 15 lbs when full).
10. Ensure the Spray Pack is secure on your back and the straps are tightened. The Spray Pack should sit on your upper back area for optimum working spray height.
11. Turn on the Spray Station unit with the paint flow dial set fully upwards and the trigger pulled, hold the spray gun lower than the Spray Pack until the liquid reaches
the spray gun.
12. It is recommended that appropriate mask, gloves, goggles and overalls, should be worn while using spray equipment.
Cleaning Instructions - see page 2, Fig.1 for reference.
The Spray Pack must be thoroughly cleaned immediately after use. If the paint dries inside the Spray Pack then cleaning will become much more difficult and may render
the Spray Pack inoperable. This is not covered by the guarantee.
1. Turn off unit and remove plug from the power supply.
2. Disconnect the black air hose from the gun. Disconnect the 13’ (long) clear tube (Fig.1-6) from the top of the Spray Pack by pulling, it may require softening with hot
water to release, leaving the paint tube attached.
3. Take Spray Pack to the the sink/protected wash area for cleaning. It is recommended that you clean using warm soapy water, do not use boiling water.
4. Remove the Spray Pack lid (Fig.1-1) by unscrewing carefully and slowly to release the air pressure inside the Spray Pack.
5. Pour any leftover paint into a container so that it can be used in the future. Wipe the Spray Pack to remove as much spray material/paint as possible.
6. Pour a quantity of warm soapy water into the Spray Pack container.
7. Screw the lid back on. Shake the Spray Pack gently; repeat process until Spray Pack is clean.
8. Remove the duck bill valve (Fig.1-5) from inside the Spray Pack and wash to remove any paint. Dry and insert duck bill valve back inside the Spray Pack.
9. Add a final quantity of warm water into the Spray Pack, screw lid back on and re-attach air hose. Turn on the unit and with the spray gun paint flow dial set fully
upwards, pull the trigger, and spray through the gun to clean the 4.6’ (short) clear tube (Fig.1-4). This should take less than a minute to run clear. The spray should be
clear and free of paint. If not repeat this process again until the spray is clear.
10. Release the 4.6’ (short) clear tube (Fig.1-4) from the Spray Pack using the quick connect clip (Fig.1-E) by pushing the button inwards and pulling the tube away.
11. Dry the Spray Pack with towel and reassemble for storage for your next spraying job.
12. Follow cleaning instructions for your spray gun in your Spray Station manual.
Hints and Tips:
• Ensure the straps are tight on the Spray Pack and positioned high on the back for optimum function and comfort.
• It is important that the paint or spray material is at room temperature. Too cold and it will become difficult to spray and cause blockages.
• Low temperatures can make paint thicker and we therefore recommend spraying in air temperatures at a minimum of 59°F.
CAUTION!
• Do not disconnect the clear paint tubes from the spray gun or the Spray Pack when the pressure has not been released from the Spray Pack or if the Spray
Pack is full of paint.
• Beware that paint can accidently exit the spray gun when the turbine unit is switched off due to the pressure held in the Spray Pack.
• Please note that the Spray Pack can weigh up to 15 lbs when full, be careful when handling this unit.
Do not fill pass

Mochila pulverizadora
Información importante
Esta mochila pulverizadora solo debería utilizarse con la unidad de la estación pulverizadora Graco VLP de las series 2900, 3900. El uso de otra unidad VLP puede
afectar al rendimiento de la mochila pulverizadora. Esto no afecta a sus derechos legales.
Nota: Con respecto al uso del envase de 1 Qt, las bajas temperaturas pueden hacer que la pintura espese, por lo que se recomienda pulverizar a temperaturas mínimas
de 59ºF. Asegúrese de que su pintura/material para pulverizar también se encuentre a temperatura ambiente antes de empezar cualquier trabajo de pulverización.
Disolvente – cálculo del disolvente adecuado si utiliza pintura en la mochila pulverizadora.
Viscosidad es un término técnico utilizado para indicar si un líquido es poco o muy espeso. Es importante que la viscosidad de la pintura sea correcta para lograr que la
pintura se atomice correctamente y se vaporice bien, produciendo un acabado de buena calidad (Fig.4). Si su material es poco espeso, como el agua, se dice que su
viscosidad es baja, mientras que si es muy espeso como pintura interior de látex, se dice que su viscosidad es alta. La viscosidad se mide en segundos.
Siempre se debe probar la viscosidad (o espesor) de la pintura antes de vaporizarla, para ver si es necesario diluirla. Es importante que la viscosidad de la pintura sea
correcta para asegurarse de que la pintura se atomice correctamente y se vaporice de forma uniforme.
La Spray Stationva equipada con una taza de viscosidad. La taza de viscosidad le ayuda determinar el espesor de la pintura. Para probar la viscosidad de un líquido, sumerja
la copa de viscosidad en el material y llénela hasta el borde. Cronometre el tiempo que la pintura tarda en salir de la taza de viscosidad - pare cuando el flujo termine de
salir del fondo de la taza. Esto determinará si el material necesita diluirse antes de vaporizarse.
1. Abra el envase con el material a pulverizar y mézclelo durante 1 minuto con un mezclador de pintura con taladro.
2. Verificar la viscosidad de la pintura.
3. Añada un 10% de agua para diluir, mezcle de nuevo con el agitador y el taladro.
4. Vierta parte de la mezcla en la mochila pulverizadora e intente utilizarla. Si no está contento/a con el resultado, añada otro 5% más. Con la
mochila pulverizadora la pintura puede diluirse hasta un 20% para asegurarse de que se pulverice con un buen acabado.
