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.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from dispensing device, 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 point dispensing device at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put your hand over the fluid outlet.
• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop dispensing 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.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
When flammable fluids are present in the work area, such as gasoline and windshield wiper fluid, be
aware that flammable fumes can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:
• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as cigarettes and portable electric lamps.
• Keep work area free of debris, including rags and spilled or open containers of solvent and gasoline.
• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.
• Ground all equipment in the work area.
• Use only grounded hoses.
•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.

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 com-
ponent. 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 material, request MSDS 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 manu-
facturer’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.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch, cut or amputate fingers and other body parts.
• Keep clear of moving parts.
• Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.
• Pressurized equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing equipment,
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure and disconnect all power sources.
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. This 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

Installation
The pump is designed to supply hydraulic oil to the
accumulators in an oil rig blow-out prevention system.
The Typical Installation shown in FIG. 1, page 4 is only a
guide. Contact your Graco representative for assistance
in designing a system to meet your needs.
Mount the pump to suit your type of installation. The
Dimension Drawing on page 18 gives measurements
needed for installing the pump.
Reference numbers and letter in the text refer to the call-
out on the drawings.
Grounding
The following instructions refer to FIG. 2.
To ground the pump:
1. Loosen the grounding lug locknut (N) and washer
(P).
2. Insert one end of a 12 gauge (1.5 mm2) minimum
ground wire (R) into the slot in lug (S) and tighten
the locknut securely.
3. Connect the other end of the wire to a true earth
ground such as a steel building column or water
pipe. Check local code.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to
ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire
for the electric current.
• Proper hose and plumbing line grounding
continuity is essential to maintaining a grounded
system. Check the electrical resistance of your air
and fluid hoses or plumbing line at least once a
week.
• If you hose does not have a tag on it which
specifies the maximum electrical resistance,
contact the hose supplier or manufacturer for the
maximum resistance limits.
• Use a resistance meter in the appropriate range
for your hose to check the resistance. If the
resistance exceeds the recommended limits,
replace it immediately.
• An ungrounded or poorly grounded hose or
plumbing line can make your system hazardous.
