Operation
Tighten Fasteners
Before mounting and using the pump for the first time,
check and retorque all external fasteners. Follow
, or see the torque
tag on your pump. After the first day of operation,
retorque the fasteners.
InitialConfiguration (AC with VFD)
Configure the VFD according to the motor nameplate
information.
NOTE: If you are using a Graco VFD (Part 16K911
or 16K912) with the Graco standard ACinduction
motor, use the following settings.

InitialConfiguration (BLDC with Graco
Motor Control)
For initial setup, review at least the following menus
to configure the system to suit your particular needs.
See the reference table in
,
for detailed information about each menu
option and about default settings. See also
Graco Motor Control Menu Quick Reference, page 40
.
1. Set the desired flow units on menu G201.
2. If Batch mode is desired, set menu G200 to 1
and set the batch flow rate in menu G247.
3. Go to the Set Maintenance Interval menus (menu
G230, G231, G232). Use these menus to enable
the maintenance counter and set the number of
cycles (in millions) for each of three maintenance
intervals.
4. Go to Enable Max Power Mode (menu G204).
Use this menu to indicate whether the current
limit is 12A or 16A, and to enable or disable Max
Power Mode (see explanation in the reference
table in
).
5. Go to Set Leak Detection Type (menu G206).
Use this menu to indicate how the system should
respond if a leak is detected.
6. Follow the appropriate calibration procedure
and set the pump K-Factor (menu G203). Use
this procedure and menu to adjust the pump
displacement per cycle to match the actual
performance of your pump.
Flush the Pump Before First Use
The pump was tested in water. If water could
contaminate the fluid you are pumping, flush the
pump thoroughly with a compatible solvent. See
.
Transfer Mode Vs. Low Pulsation
Mode
When the air pressure is at least 10 psi higher than
the desired outlet pressure, the pump is in Transfer
Mode and no pulsation damping is occurring. To
reduce outlet pulsation, start by setting the air
pressure equal to the desired outlet fluid pressure.
Continue to adjust the air pressure relative to the
outlet fluid pressure. Lower relative air pressures
produce more pulsation damping. Higher relative air
pressures produce better pump efficiency.
NOTE: Low pulsation mode may invalidate the
system k-factor. See the Low Pulsation chart in
