2. Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
hoses.
3. Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommen-
dations.
4. Spray gun: ground through connection to a prop-
erly grounded fluid hose and pump.
5. Fluid supply container: follow your local code.
6. Object being sprayed: follow your local code.
7. Solvent pails used when flushing: follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the
pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continu-
ity.
8. To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the spray
gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail,
then trigger the gun.
System Accessories
Fig. 2 is only a guide for selecting and installing sys-
tem components and accessories. Contact your Graco
distributor for assistance in designing a system to suit
your particular needs.
Air and Fluid Hoses
Be sure all air hoses (H) and fluid hoses (N and P) are
properly sized and pressure-rated for your system.
Use only electrically conductive hoses. Fluid hoses
must have spring guards on both ends. Use a whip
hose (P) and a swivel (R) between the main fluid
hose (N) and the gun (S) to allow freer gun movement.
Mounting Accessories
Mount the pump (A) to suit the type of installation
planned. Fig. 2 illustrates a wall mount system. Pump
dimensions and the mounting hole layout are shown
on page 27.
If you are using a floor stand, refer to its separate
manual for installation and operation instructions.

Installation
System Accessories (continued)
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.
Order Part No. 107141.
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. Order Part No. 235992.
Air Line Accessories
Install the following accessories in the locations shown
in Fig. 2, using adapters as necessary:
DAn air line lubricator (D) provides automatic air
motor lubrication.
DAbleed-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 eas-
ily accessible from the pump, and is located
downstream from the air regulator.
DAn air regulator (F) controls pump speed and out-
let 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.
DApump 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.
DAn air manifold (G) has a 3/4 npsm(f) swivel air
inlet. It mounts to the pump support bracket, and
provides ports for connecting lines to air-powered
accessories.
DAn air line filter (J) removes harmful dirt and
moisture from the compressed air supply. Also,
install a drain valve (W) at the bottom of each air
line drop, to drain off moisture.
DA 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 locations shown
in Fig. 2, using adapters as necessary:
DA fluid filter (L) with a 60 mesh (250 micron)
stainless steel element, to filter particles from the
fluid as it leaves the pump.
DA fluid drain valve (M), which is required in your
system, helps relieve fluid pressure in the hose
and gun (see the WARNING at left).
DA gun (S) dispenses the fluid. The gun shown in
Fig. 2 is an airless spray gun for light to medium
viscosity fluids.
DA gun swivel (R) allows freer gun movement.
DA suction kit (T) allows the pump to draw fluid
from a supply container.
CAUTION
To prevent intake valve damage, always apply PTFE
tape to the female threads of the intake valve before
connecting a suction hose or fitting to the intake.

Operation/Maintenance
Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually
relieved to prevent the system from
starting or spraying accidentally. 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:
Dare instructed to relieve the pressure,
Dstop spraying,
Dcheck or service any of the system equipment,
Dor install or clean the spray tips.
1. Lock the gun trigger safety.
2. Shut off the air supply to the pump.
3. Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in
your system).
4. Unlock the gun trigger safety.
5. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun to relieve
pressure.
6. Lock the gun trigger safety.
7. Open the drain valve (required in your system),
having a container ready to catch the drainage.
8. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to
spray again.
If you suspect that the spray tip 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 or hose end coupling and relieve
pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear
the tip or hose.
Packing Nut/Wet-Cup
Before starting, fill the packing nut (8) 1/3 full with
Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL) or compatible solvent.
See Fig. 3.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure at left.
The packing nut is torqued at the factory and is ready
for operation. If it becomes loose and there is leaking
from the throat packings, relieve pressure, then torque
the nut to 61–75 NSm (45–55 ft-lb) using the supplied
wrench (110). Do this whenever necessary. Do not
overtighten the packing nut.
