SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
Air and Fluid Hoses
Be sure all air hoses (H) and fluid hoses (N) are properly
sized and pressure-rated for your system. Use only
electrically conductive hoses. Fluid hoses must have
spring guards on both ends.
Mounting Accessories
Mount the pump (A) to suit the type of installation
planned. Fig. 3 on page 7 illustrates a ram-mounted
pump in a multi-gun header system. Pump dimensions
and the mounting hole layout are shown on pages 32
and 33.
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.
•A pump 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 servicing.
• 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.
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
pressure in the displacement pump, hose, and
gun. Triggering the gun to relieve pressure may not
be sufficient.

308150P 9
Operation
Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Lock the gun/valve trigger safety.
2. Shut off the air supply to the pump.
3. In air-powered systems, close the bleed-type
master air valve (required in your system).
4. Unlock the gun/valve trigger safety.
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 trigger safety.
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.
4. Using the supplied wrench (104), adjust the packing
nut weekly so it is just snug; do not overtighten.
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure above before
adjusting the packing nut.
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.
Starting and Adjusting the Pump
Supply fluid to the pump, per the requirements of your
system.
Refer to Fig. 3 on page 7. 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/dispensing
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 (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. 4. 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 plug
when all air has been eliminated.
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Fluid under high pressure can be
injected 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.
WARNING
For your safety, read the warning section FIRE
AND EXPLOSION HAZARD on page 5 before
flushing, and follow all the recommendations given
there.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fluid injection, do not use your
hand or fingers to cover the bleed hole when
priming the pump.

10 308150P
Operation
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.
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 preset speed, is
available. See Fig. 3 on page 7. If your pump
accelerates 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
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. Flush with water or a compatible
solvent. Relieve the pressure after flushing.
FIG. 4 ___________________________________________
WARNING
To reduce the risk of overpressurizing your system,
which could result in component rupture and cause
serious injury, never exceed the specified
maximum incoming air pressure to the pump (see
the Technical Specifications on pages 26-31).
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow
the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 9.
