Easy Out
™
Filter
The Easy Out Pump Filter is
designed to filter from the inside
out so filters won’t get stuck or
collapse when they are filled
with dirt or debris. It’s large
filtering area reduces tip clogs
and ensures a quality finish. Filter
removes with the cap which
means less mess.
MaxPower Motor
Graco’s compact and powerful
MaxPower Brushless DC Motors
are designed specifically for painting
applications. The totally-enclosed,
fan-cooled design protects the internal
components of the motor from dirt,
dust and overspray – extending the
life of the motor. But more importantly,
the brushless design means that you
will never need to replace brushes!
No wonder Graco stands behind these
motors with a lifetime warranty!
Features found only on a Graco

SmartControl
™
2.0/WatchDog
™
Graco’s advanced SmartControl 2.0
delivers a consistent spray fan without
pressure fluctuation at all spraying
pressures. Our Premium line of
sprayers have the added benefit of a
digital display with pressure readout,
job/lifetime gallon counter, and self-
diagnostics; and the WatchDog
Pump Protection System which
automatically shuts the sprayer
down when the bucket is empty –
extending the life of the pump.
QuikReel
™
Introducing QuikReel,
Graco’s latest solution to
hose management.
With QuikReel you
can reel and unreel
up to 300 feet of
hose in seconds!
The hose is connected
so you’re always ready
to spray. In fact, it comes
connected out of the box.
With Graco’s innovative
QuikReel, you can get on
and off the job site faster.

FastFlush
™
We did extensive research
on how to decrease cleaning
time and came to the
following simple conclusion:
to clean faster, you must
run the pump faster. So
that’s what we did! The
new FastFlush Cleaning
System runs the motor at a
higher speed which results
in high flow and faster
cleaning. It’s that simple!
Endurance
™
Pump
Graco’s Endurance Pump is
the most rugged and reliable
pump on the market today. This
field proven design with long-
life V-Max Blue™ packings,
Chromex™ rod and MaxLife™
pump coatings delivers
superior reliability and life.
Advantage Drive
™
The drive is the critical link between
the motor and the pump. Graco
doesn’t leave the manufacturing
of our Advantage Drive System
to others, rather we design and
manufacture them at our world-
class manufacturing facility located
in the United States. This allows
us to control the quality of these
hardened steel gears. You can find
peace of mind knowing that you
have the most durable, longest
lasting drive in the industry and
Graco stands behind it with a
lifetime warranty.
ProConnect
™
The ProConnect Pump
Removal and Installation
System allows you to
replace your pump in
seconds without any tools!
This revolutionary design
keeps you pumping –
saving you time and money.
