Setup
1. Read and follow the warnings on pages 4 and 5 be-
fore installing or operating this sprayer.
2. Unpack the Line Lazer . Carefully raise the handle
(19) to a vertical position. Four screws (39) and lock-
nuts (40) are packed in a bag. Install the two rear
screws (39A) and finger tighten the nuts (40A). In-
stall one screw (39B) and nut (40B) on each side of
the handle. Firmly tighten all four nuts. See Fig. 1.
CAUTION
When raising the cart handle (19), be sure no cables
are caught on the frame or become kinked.
3. To install a second gun and hose, see page 12.
4. Fill the packing nut/wet–cup (216) 1/3 full with Graco
Throat Seal Liquid (TSL), supplied, and keep it filled,
to help extend the pump life. See Fig. 2.
5. Check the engine oil level. Refer to the Honda engine
manual, supplied. This is a summary of the informa-
tion: Remove one of the oil fill plugs (A); the oil should
be almost overflowing. See Fig. 2. Add oil as neces-
sary. Also read the
Maintenance
section on page
23.
Recommended engine oil: Use a high–quality, deter-
gent oil, SAE 10W–40, classified “FOR SER VICE
SE or SF”.
6. Ground the sprayer. Proper grounding is essential to
maintaining an electrically safe system. Also read
and follow
FIRE OR EXPLOSION
HAZARD
on page
5.
WARNING
Ground the sprayer whenever it is used indoors,
either as a moving line striper or as a stationary
sprayer. Floors in most factories are coated, which
causes them to be poor electrical conductors. This
increases the risk of hazardous static electric
discharge, which can result in serious bodily injury,
fire or explosion and property damage.
Whenever you flush:
connect the ground clamp
(159) to a true earth ground.
Using as an outdoor striper:
Be sure the static
chain attached to the bottom of the cart drags on the
ground to help dissipate static electricity. Ground the
sprayer to a true earth ground if specified by your
local electrical code.
Indoor spraying:
Ground the sprayer whenever the
sprayer is used indoors. The ground wire supplied
with the sprayer is not long enough to allow much
operator movement. Therefore, the operator must
provide a longer ground wire or provide some other
method of effective electrical grounding as specified
by your local electrical code.
7. Provide adequate ventilation when spraying indoors.
WARNING
If the Line Lazer is used indoors, you must vent the
exhaust to the outdoors or provide
adequate
ventilation as specified by your local code. This is
to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
8. Fill the gas tank. See
Fueling
on page 11.
9. Flush the pump to remove the lightweight oil which
was left in the pump to protect it from rust. Follow the
Flushing
on page 13.
10. Prepare the paint according to the manufacturer ’s
recommendations. Remove any skin that may have
formed. Stir the paint to mix pigments.
Strain the paint through a fine nylon mesh bag (avail-
able at most paint dealers) to remove particles that
could clog the filter or spray tip. This is an important
step toward trouble–free spraying.
