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. 3 is only a guide for selecting and installing
system 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. 3 illustrates a wall mount system. Pump

308354 7
Installation
System Accessories (continued)
WARNING
A bleed-type master air valve (E) and a fluid drain
valve (M) are required in your system. These ac-
cessories help reduce the risk of serious injury, in-
cluding 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. 3, 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. 3, 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. 3 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
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/valve 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/valve 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/valve 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 (2) 1/3 full with
Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL) or compatible solvent.
See Fig. 4.
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 the pressure, then
torque the nut to 136–149 N.m (100–110 ft-lb) using
the supplied wrench (110). Do this whenever neces-
sary. Do not overtighten the packing nut.

Operation/Maintenance
Flush the Pump Before First Use
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. See Flushing on page 11.
Starting and Adjusting the Pump
1. See Fig. 3. Connect the suction kit (T) to the
pump’s fluid inlet. Place the tube into the fluid sup-
ply.
CAUTION
To prevent intake valve damage, always apply
tape to the female threads of the intake valve before
connecting a suction hose or fitting to the intake.
2. Close the air regulator (F).
3. Open the pump’s bleed-type master air valve (E).
4. Hold a metal part of the gun (S) firmly to the side
of a grounded metal pail and hold the trigger open.
5. Slowly open the regulator until the pump starts.
6. Cycle the pump slowly until all air is pushed out
and the pump and hoses are fully primed.
7. Release the gun trigger and lock the trigger safety.
The pump should stall against pressure.
8. If the pump fails to prime properly, open the drain
valve (M). Use the drain valve as a priming valve
until the fluid flows from the valve. Close the valve.
NOTE: When changing fluid containers with the hose
and gun already primed, open the drain valve (M) to
help prime the pump and vent air before it enters the
hose. Close the drain valve when all air is eliminated.
CAUTION
Do not allow the pump to run dry. It will quickly accel-
erate to a high speed, causing damage. If your pump
is running too fast, stop it immediately and check the
fluid supply. If the container is empty and air has
been pumped into the lines, refill the container and
prime the pump and the lines, or flush and leave it
filled with a compatible solvent. Eliminate all air from
the fluid system.
9. With the pump and lines primed, and with ade-
quate air pressure and volume supplied, the pump
will start and stop as you open and close the gun.
In a circulating system, the pump will speed up or
slow down on demand, until the air supply is shut
off.
WARNING
COMPONENT RUPTURE HAZARD
To reduce the risk of overpressurizing
your system, which could cause compo-
nent rupture and serious injury, never
exceed the specified Maximum Incoming Air Pres-
sure to the pump (see the Technical Data, on
pages 24–26).
10. Use the air regulator (F) to control pump speed
and fluid pressure. Always use the lowest air pres-
sure necessary to get the desired results. Higher
pressures cause premature tip and pump wear.

DISPLACEMENT PUMP SERVICE
Disassembly
When disassembling the pump, lay out all the removed
parts in sequence, to ease reassembly.
NOTE: Packing Repair Kits are available. For the best
results, use all the new parts in the kit. Kit parts are
marked with an asterisk, for example (3*). You can
also convert the pump to different packing materials.
Refer to page 23.
1. Place the pump lengthwise in a large vise, with the
jaws on either the outlet housing (7) as shown in
Fig. 6 or on the cylinder (9) flats. Using the sup-
plied wrench (110), loosen, but do not remove, the
packing nut (2).
2. Apply a pipe wrench to the flats of the intake valve
(19). Unscrew the intake valve (19) from the intake
housing (18). Be careful to catch the intake ball
(17) as you remove the intake valve, so that it
does not fall and suffer damage. Remove the seal
(8) from the intake valve. Inspect the ball and the
seat (D) of the intake valve for wear or damage.
3. Apply a pipe wrench to the hex of the valve hous-
ing (18). The pump assembly may separate at joint
A or joint B.
CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of costly damage to the rod
(1) and cylinder (9), always use a rubber mallet to
drive the rod out of the cylinder. Never use a ham-
mer.
DIf the assembly separates at joint A:
a. Unscrew the valve housing (18) from the cylin-
der, using a 2–5/8 in. wrench for the cylinder
flats. Using a rubber mallet, drive the displace-
ment rod (1) and piston assembly out of the
outlet housing (7) and cylinder (9) until the pis-
ton comes free. Pull the rod and piston from
the cylinder, being careful not to scratch the
parts.
b. Using a 2–5/8 in. wrench for the cylinder flats,
unscrew the cylinder (9) from the outlet hous-
ing (7). Remove the two seals (8) from the cyl-
inder. Shine a light into the cylinder (9) to in-
spect the inner surface for scoring or wear.
Now go to step 4.
DIf the assembly separates at joint B:
a. Unscrew the cylinder (9) and valve housing
(18) from the outlet housing (7). Gently pull the
cylinder and valve housing straight out of the
outlet housing; the displacement rod (1) and
piston assembly will come out with these
parts.
b. Place the valve housing (18) in the vise and
unscrew the cylinder (9) from the housing, us-
ing a 2–5/8 in. wrench for the cylinder flats.
The displacement rod (1) and piston assembly
will remain in the cylinder.
c. Using a rubber mallet, drive the displacement
rod (1) and piston assembly out of the cylinder
(9) until the piston comes free. Pull the rod and
piston from the cylinder, being careful not to
scratch the parts.
d. Remove the two seals (8) from the cylinder.
Shine a light into the cylinder (9) to inspect the
inner surface for scoring or wear. Now go to
step 4.
4. Place the flats of the piston seat housing (16) in a
vise, as shown in Fig. 7.
5. Using an adjustable wrench, unscrew the piston
ball housing (10) from the piston seat housing. Be
careful to catch the piston ball (11) as you sepa-
rate the piston seat housing and ball housing, so
that it does not fall and suffer damage.
6. Examine the displacement rod (1) for scratches or
other damage. Only if the rod needs replace-
ment, unscrew it from the piston ball housing (10),
using an adjustable wrench on the flats of the rod.
7. Remove the glands and v-packings (P) from the
piston seat housing (16). Inspect the ball (11), and
the seat (E) and guides (F) on the housing for
wear or damage. See Fig. 8.
8. Unscrew the packing nut (2) from the outlet hous-
ing (7). Remove the glands and v-packings (T).
See Fig. 8.
9. Clean all parts with a compatible solvent and in-
spect them for wear or damage.

Reassembly
1. If it was necessary to remove the piston ball hous-
ing (10) from the displacement rod (1), clean the
threads of the rod and the ball housing. Screw the
ball housing onto the rod, hand tight. Place the
flats of the piston ball housing in a vise and torque
the rod to 271–298 N.m (200–220 ft-lb). See Fig.
8.
2. For standard displacement pump 236470, place
the piston packings on the piston seat housing (16)
in the following order, with the lips of the v-pack-
ings facing up: the female gland (15*), one
v-packing (14*), four leather
v-packings (12*), and the male gland (13*).
See the Piston Packing Stack Detail in Fig. 8.
NOTE: If your pump uses an optional packing configu-
ration, or you want to convert the pump to a different
packing material, see page 23.
3. Place the flats of the piston seat housing (16) in a
vise. Place the ball (11*) on the housing. Screw the
piston ball housing (10) onto the piston seat hous-
ing hand tight, then torque to 271–298 N.m
(200–220 ft-lb). See Fig. 7.
4. For standard displacement pump 236470, lubricate
the throat packings and place them in the outlet
housing (7) in the following order, with the lips of
the v-packings facing down: the male gland (6*),
four leather v-packings (3*), one
v-packing (5*), and the female gland (4*).
See the Throat Packing Stack Detail in Fig. 8.
NOTE: If your pump uses an optional packing configu-
ration, or you want to convert the pump to a different
packing material, see page 23.
5. Install the packing nut (2) loosely into the outlet
housing (7).
6. Lubricate the piston packings. Slide the displace-
ment rod (1) and piston assembly down into the
cylinder (9). The cylinder is symmetrical, so either
end may face up. Use a rubber mallet to drive the
rod into the cylinder, until the piston seat housing
(16) is near the bottom of the cylinder.
7. Install the seal (8*) on the top of the cylinder (9).
Lubricate the seal and the top threads of the cylin-
der.
8. Place the outlet housing (7) in a vise, as shown in
Fig. 6. Slide the displacement rod (1) up into the
outlet housing, then screw the cylinder (9) into the
outlet housing handtight. The threads will engage
easily until the seal (8*) contacts the sealing sur-
face of the outlet housing. The top of the rod will
protrude from the packing nut (2).
9. Install the seal (8*) on the bottom of the cylinder
(9). Lubricate the seal and the threads of the cylin-
der. With the beveled ball stop surfaces (S) fac-
ing down (see Fig. 8), screw the intake housing
(18) onto the cylinder handtight. The threads will
engage easily until the seal contacts the sealing
surface of the intake housing.
10. Install the seal (8*) on the intake valve (19). Lubri-
cate the seal and the threads of the intake valve.
Place the intake ball (17*) in the intake housing
(18), then screw the intake valve into the intake
housing handtight. The threads will engage easily
until the seal contacts the sealing surface of the
intake housing.
11. Using a pipe wrench, torque the intake housing
(18) to 325–353 N.m (240–260 ft-lb). This will
torque both cylinder joints (A and B). See Fig. 6.
12. Using a pipe wrench, torque the intake valve (19)
to 190–217 N.m (140–150 ft-lb). See Fig. 6.
13. Torque the packing nut (2) to 136–149 N.m
(100–110 ft–lb).
14. Reconnect the displacement pump to the air motor
as explained on page 13.
