Preparation for Operation
Prepare the paint or other coating according to the man-
ufacturer’s instructions. Strain the paint through a fine
nylon mesh bag, available at paint dealers. Fill the cup
(A) with paint and fasten the lid securely.
Connect the air (E) and fluid (D) hoses as shown in F
1. On electrostatic guns, connect the air hose ground
wire (F) to a true earth ground.
Measure the resistance between the gun air inlet fitting
and a true earth ground. The resistance must be less
than 1 megohm.
WARNING
Halogenated Hydrocarbon Hazard
Never use 1, 1, 1-trichloroethane, methylene chlo-
ride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or flu-
ids containing such solvents in this equipment. Such
use could result in a serious chemical reaction, with
the possibility of explosion, which could cause death,
serious injury, and/or substantial property damage.
Consult your fluid suppliers to ensure that the fluids
being used are compatible with aluminum parts.
WARNING
Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard
When using the pressure cup with an elec-
trostatic spray gun, connect the Graco
Grounded Air Supply Hose between the
gun air fitting on the pressure cup and the
gun's air inlet. The electrostatic gun air inlet
has a left-hand thread. Connect the air sup-
ply hose ground wire to a true earth ground.
