SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
WARNING
A bleed-type master air valve (E) and a fluid drain
valve (M) are required in your system. These
accessories help reduce the risk of serious injury,
including fluid injection and splashing of fluid in the
eyes or on the skin, and injury from moving parts if
you are adjusting or repairing the pump.
The bleed-type master air valve relieves air trapped
between this valve and the pump after the air is
shut off. Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle
unexpectedly. Locate the valve close to the pump.
The fluid drain valve assists in relieving fluid pres-
sure in the displacement pump, hose, and gun.
Triggering the gun to relieve pressure may not be
sufficient.
Air and Fluid Hoses
Be sure all air hoses (H) and fluid hoses (N) are prop-
erly sized and pressure-rated for your system. Use
only electrically conductive hoses. Fluid hoses must
have spring guards on both ends.
Mounting Accessories
WARNING
For Model 222940 Premier Pump, do not lift the
pump by the lift ring when the total weight exceeds
550 lb (250 kg).
Mount the pump (A) to suit the type of installation
planned. Fig. 3 on page 8 illustrates a ram-mounted
pump in a multi-gun header system. Pump dimensions
and the mounting hole layout are shown on pages 36
and 37.
If you are mounting the pump on a ram, refer to the
separate ram manual for installation and operation
instructions.
Air Line Accessories
Install the following accessories in the order shown in
Fig. 3, using adapters as necessary:
An air line lubricator (D) provides automatic air
motor lubrication.
A bleed-type master air valve (E) is required in
your system to relieve air trapped between it and
the air motor when the valve is closed (see the
WARNING above). Be sure the bleed valve is
easily accessible from the pump, and is located
downstream from the air regulator.
An air regulator (F) controls pump speed and
outlet pressure by adjusting the air pressure to the
pump. Locate the regulator close to the pump, but
upstream from the bleed-type master air valve.
Apump runaway valve (C) senses when the
pump is running too fast and automatically shuts off
the air to the motor. A pump which runs too fast can
be seriously damaged.
An air manifold (G) has a swivel air inlet. It
mounts to a ram, and has ports for connecting lines
to air accessories, such as the ram air regulator
(T).
An air line filter (J) removes harmful dirt and
moisture from the compressed air supply.
A second bleed-type air valve (K) isolates the air
line accessories for servicing. Locate upstream
from all other air line accessories.
Fluid Line Accessories
Install the following accessories in the positions shown
in Fig. 3, using adapters as necessary:
Install a fluid shutoff valve (P) at each gun drop,
to isolate the gun and fluid accessories for servic-
ing.
Install a fluid drain valve (M) near the pump fluid
outlet, and at each gun station. The drain valves
are required in your system to relieve fluid pressure
in the displacement pump, hose and gun (see the
WARNING at left). Drain valves at the gun stations
may be mounted in the base of a fluid regulator
(L), using an adapter.
A fluid regulator (L) controls fluid pressure to the
gun/valve, and dampens pressure surges.
A gun or valve (S) dispenses the fluid. The gun
shown in Fig. 3 is a high pressure dispensing gun
for highly viscous fluids.
A gun swivel (R) allows freer gun movement.

Be sure your hydraulic power supply is equipped with a
suction filter to the hydraulic pump and a system return
line filter (AA) of 10 micron size.
Carefully follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
on reservoir and filter cleaning, and periodic changes
of hydraulic fluid. Use only Graco-approved hydraulic
oil. Order Part No. 169236, 5 gal. (19 liter) or 207428,
1 gal. (3.8 liter). Do not substitute a lower grade oil or
one with a lower flash point.
Hydraulic Lines
The motor has a 3/4 npt(f) hydraulic oil supply fitting,
and a 1” npt(f) hydraulic oil return fitting. Use a mini-
mum 13 mm (1/2 in.) ID hydraulic supply line, and a
minimum 16 mm (5/8 in.) ID return line.
On the hydraulic supply line (C), install the following
accessories in the order shown in Fig. 4, using adapt-
ers as necessary:
Ashutoff valve (U) to isolate the pump for servic-
ing.
A fluid pressure gauge (F) to monitor hydraulic oil
pressure to the motor and to avoid overpressurizing
the motor or displacement pump, and a pressure-
and temperature-compensated flow control
valve (G) to prevent the motor from running too
fast and possibly damaging itself.
A pressure reducing valve (H), with a drain line
(E) running into the hydraulic return line (D).

(ALL MODELS)
Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Fluid under high pressure can be in-
jected through the skin and cause
serious injury. To reduce the risk of an
injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving
parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
whenever you:
are instructed to relieve the pressure,
stop spraying/dispensing,
check or service any of the system equipment,
or install or clean the spray tip/nozzle.
1. Engage the gun/valve trigger safety.
2. Shut off the air or hydraulic supply to the pump.
3. In air-powered systems, close the bleed-type
master air valve (required in your system). In
hydraulic-powered systems, close the hydraulic
supply line valve first, then the return line valve.
4. Unlock the gun/valve safety latch.
5. Hold a metal part of the gun/valve firmly to the side
of a grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun/valve
to relieve pressure.
6. Lock the gun/valve safety latch.
7. Open the drain valve (required in your system)
and/or the pump bleeder valve, having a container
ready to catch the drainage.
8. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to
spray/dispense again.
If you suspect that the spray tip/nozzle or hose is
completely clogged, or that pressure has not been fully
relieved after following the steps above, very slowly
loosen the tip guard retaining nut, nozzle, or hose end
coupling and relieve pressure gradually, then loosen
completely. Now clear the tip/nozzle or hose.
Packing Nut/Wet-Cup
Fill the packing nut/wet-cup (2) 1/3 full with Graco
Throat Seal Liquid (TSL) or compatible solvent. See
Fig. 5. Using the supplied wrench (104), adjust the
packing nut weekly so it is just snug; do not overtigh-
ten. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure above
before adjusting the packing nut.
Flushing the Pump
The pump is tested with lightweight oil, which is left in
to protect the pump parts. If the fluid you are using
may be contaminated by the oil, flush it out with a
compatible solvent before using the pump.
WARNING
Before operating the pump, ground the system as
explained under FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
and Grounding on page 5.
(AIR-POWERED MODELS)
Starting and Adjusting the Pump
Supply fluid to the pump, per the requirements of your
system.
Refer to Fig. 3 on page 8. Be sure the air regulator
(F) is closed. Then open the pump’s bleed-type master
air valve (E). Hold a metal part of the spray gun/dis-
pensing valve (S) firmly to the side of a grounded
metal pail and hold the trigger open. Now slowly open
the air regulator until the pump starts.
Cycle the pump slowly until all the air is pushed out
and the pump and hoses are fully primed. Release the
spray gun/dispensing valve trigger and engage the
safety latch. The pump should stall against pressure
when the trigger is released.
If the pump fails to prime properly, open the bleeder
valve plug (35) slightly. Use the bleed hole, on the
underside of the valve body (34), as a priming valve
until the fluid appears at the hole. See Fig. 5. Close the
plug (35).
NOTE: When changing fluid containers with the hose
and gun already primed, open the bleeder valve plug
(35), to assist in priming the pump and venting air
before it enters the hose. Close the bleeder valve
when all air has been eliminated.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fluid injection, do not use your
hand or fingers to cover the bleed hole when
priming the pump.

308149 13
Operation
(AIR-POWERED MODELS)
With the pump and lines primed, and with adequate air
pressure and volume supplied, the pump will start and
stop as the gun/valve is opened and closed. In a
circulating system, the pump will speed up or slow
down on demand, until the air supply is shut off.
Use the air regulator (F) to control the pump speed
and the fluid pressure. Always use the lowest air
pressure necessary to get the desired results. Higher
pressures cause premature tip/nozzle and pump wear.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of overpressurizing your system,
which could result in component rupture and cause
serious injury, never exceed the specified maxi-
mum incoming air pressure to the pump (see the
Technical Data on pages 30–35)
Never allow the pump to run dry of the fluid being
pumped. A dry pump will quickly accelerate to a high
speed, possibly damaging itself. A pump runaway
valve (C), which shuts off the air supply to the pump if
the pump accelerates beyond the pre-set speed, is
available. See Fig. 3 on page 8. If your pump acceler-
ates quickly, or is running too fast, stop it immediately
and check the fluid supply. If the supply container is
empty and air has been pumped into the lines, refill the
container and prime the pump and the lines with fluid,
or flush and leave it filled with a compatible solvent. Be
sure to eliminate all air from the fluid system.
Shutdown and Care of the Pump
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 12.
For overnight shutdown, relieve the pressure. Stop
the pump at the bottom of the stroke to prevent fluid
from drying on the exposed displacement rod and
damaging the throat packings.
Always flush the pump before the fluid dries on the
displacement rod. Never leave water or water-based
fluid in the pump overnight. First, flush with water or a
compatible solvent, then with mineral spirits. Relieve
the pressure, but leave the mineral spirits in the pump
to protect the parts from corrosion.

(HYDRAULIC-POWERED MODELS)
Starting and Adjusting the Pump
Supply fluid to the pump, per the requirements of your
system.
Refer to Fig. 4 on page 10. Check the hydraulic fluid
level before each use, and add fluid as necessary.
Make certain that the supply line shutoff valve (U) and
the return line shutoff valve (V) are closed, then start
the hydraulic power supply.
Hold a metal part of the gun/valve (S) firmly to the side
of a grounded metal pail and hold the trigger open.
Open the return line shutoff valve (V) first, then slowly
open the supply line shutoff valve (U).
Cycle the pump slowly until all the air is pushed out
and the pump and hoses are fully primed. Release the
spray gun/dispensing valve trigger and engage the
trigger safety. The pump should stall against pressure
when the trigger is released.
If the pump fails to prime properly, open the bleeder
valve (35) slightly. Use the bleed hole on the underside
of the valve body (34) as a priming valve until the fluid
appears at the hole. See Fig. 10. Close the plug (35).
NOTE: When changing fluid containers with the hose
and gun already primed, open the bleeder valve plug
(35), to assist in priming the pump and venting air
before it enters the hose. Close the bleeder valve
when all air has been eliminated.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fluid injection, do not use your
hand or fingers to cover the bleed hole when
priming the pump.
With the pump and lines primed, and with adequate
hydraulic volume supplied, the pump will start and stop
as the gun/valve is opened and closed. In a circulating
system, the pump will speed up or slow down on
demand, until the hydraulic power supply is shut off.
Use the fluid pressure gauge (F) and flow control valve
(G) to control the pump speed and the fluid outlet
pressure. Always use the lowest hydraulic flow and
pressure necessary to get the desired results. Higher
pressures cause premature tip/nozzle and pump wear.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of overpressurizing your system,
which could result in component rupture and cause
serious injury, never exceed 10 MPa, 103 bar
(1500 psi) Maximum Hydraulic Input Pressure to
the pump or 15.9 MPa, 159 bar (2300 psi) Maxi-
mum Fluid Working Pressure (see the Technical
Data on page 35).
To prevent overpressurizing the hydraulic motor or
its seals, always shut off the supply line valve (U)
first, then shut off the return line valve (V).
CAUTION
Do not allow the hydraulic oil temperature to exceed
54C (130F). The pump seals will wear faster and
leakage may occur if the pump is operated at higher
oil temperatures.
Never allow the pump to run dry of the fluid being
pumped. A dry pump will quickly accelerate to a high
speed, possibly damaging itself. If your pump acceler-
ates quickly, or is running too fast, stop it immediately
and check the fluid supply. If the supply container is
empty and air has been pumped into the lines, refill the
container and prime the pump and the lines with fluid,
or flush and leave it filled with a compatible solvent. Be
sure to eliminate all air from the fluid system.
Shutdown and Care of the Pump
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 12.
For overnight shutdown, relieve the pressure. Stop
the pump at the bottom of the stroke to prevent fluid
from drying on the exposed displacement rod and
damaging the throat packings.
Always flush the pump before the fluid dries on the
displacement rod. Never leave water or water-based
fluid in the pump overnight. First, flush with water or a
compatible solvent, then with mineral spirits. Relieve
the pressure, but leave the mineral spirits in the pump
to protect the parts from corrosion.

Disconnecting the Displacement Pump
WARNING
Keep hands and fingers away from the priming
piston during operation and whenever the pump is
charged with air/hydraulic fluid to reduce the risk of
injury! On the pump downstroke the priming piston
extends beyond the intake housing to pull the
material into the pump. The priming piston works
under extreme force. During operation and when-
ever the pump is charged with air/hydraulic fluid,
the priming piston can severely injury or amputate
a hand or finger, or break a tool, caught between it
and the intake housing. Always relieve the pres-
sure before checking, clearing, cleaning, flushing,
or servicing any part of the pump.
On King and Bulldog air-powered pumps, the air
motor piston (located behind the air motor shield)
moves when air is supplied to the motor. Never
operate the pump with the air motor shield re-
moved.
On Premier air-powered pumps, the rocker arms
(located beneath the rocker arm covers) move
when air is supplied to the motor. Never operate
the pump with the rocker arm covers removed.
Before servicing the pump, relieve the pressure to
prevent the pump from starting accidentally.
1. Flush the pump, if possible. Stop the pump at the
bottom of its stroke. Relieve the pressure.
2. Disconnect the air or hydraulic hose. Plug all
hydraulic hoses immediately, to prevent contami-
nation of the hydraulic system. Hold the fluid outlet
fitting (20) with a wrench to keep it from being
loosened while you disconnect the fluid hose.
3. Disconnect the displacement pump (105) from the
motor (101) as follows. Be sure to note the relative
position of the pump’s fluid outlet to the air or
hydraulic inlet of the motor. If the motor does not
require servicing, leave it attached to its mounting.
CAUTION
Be sure to use at least two people when lifting,
moving, or disconnecting the pump. This pump is too
heavy for one person. If you are disconnecting the
displacement pump from a motor which is still
mounted (for example, on a ram), be sure to support
the displacement pump while it is being discon-
nected, to prevent it from falling and causing injury or
property damage. Do this by securely bracing the
pump, or by having at least two people hold it while
another disconnects it.
4. Using an adjustable wrench, unscrew the coupling
nut (103). Remove the coupling collars (108). Take
care not to lose or drop them. See Fig. 6.
5. Hold the tie rod flats with a wrench to keep the
rods from turning. Unscrew the nuts (106) from the
tie rods (107). Carefully remove the displacement
pump (105) from the motor (101).
6. Refer to page 19 for displacement pump service.
To service the air or hydraulic motor, refer to the
separate motor manual, supplied.

Reconnecting the Displacement Pump
CAUTION
Be sure to use at least two people when lifting,
moving, or disconnecting the pump. This pump is too
heavy for one person. If you are disconnecting the
displacement pump from a motor which is still
mounted (for example, on a ram), be sure to support
the displacement pump while it is being discon-
nected, to prevent it from falling and causing injury or
property damage. Do this by securely bracing the
pump, or by having at least two people hold it while
another disconnects it.
NOTE: On Premier models, ensure that the rod adapt-
er (102) has not loosened during maintenance. Proper
torque is necessary to prevent the rod adapter from
loosening during the pump operation.
If the rod adapter (102) has loosened during mainte-
nance, remove the adapter and apply Loctite2760
(or equivalent) to the rod adapter and air motor piston
threads, and then torque as specified in Fig. 6.
1. Use at least two people to hold the displacement
pump while another reconnects it to the motor (see
the CAUTION above). Orient the pump’s fluid
outlet to the air or hydraulic inlet as was noted in
step 3 under Disconnecting the Displacement
Pump. Position the displacement pump (105) on
the tie rods (107). See Fig. 6.
2. Screw the nuts (106) onto the tie rods (107) and
torque as noted in Fig. 6.
3. Place the coupling nut (103) on the displacement
rod (1), then place the coupling collars (108) into
the nut. Loosely screw the coupling nut onto the
connecting rod adapter (102) or connecting rod
(109, Model 222940 only). Hold the adapter or
connecting rod flats with a wrench to keep it from
turning. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the
coupling nut. Torque as noted in Fig. 6.
4. Torque the packing nut (2) to 135–169 N.m
(100–125 ft–lb).
5. Reconnect all hoses. Reconnect the ground wire if
it was disconnected. Fill the wet-cup (2) 1/3 full of
Graco Throat Seal Liquid or compatible solvent.
6. Turn on the air or hydraulic power supply. On
hydraulic pumps, open the hydraulic return line
valve first, then the supply line valve. Run the
pump slowly to ensure that it is operating properly.
