General Information
NOTE:
Reference numbers and letters in parentheses
in the text refer to the callouts in the figures.
Accessories are available from Graco. Make certain all
accessories are adequately sized and pressure-rated to
meet the system’s requirements.
Location
Attach a lifting sling at the proper lift spots. Lift off the
pallet using a crane or a forklift.
Position the ram so the air controls are easily accessi-
ble. Ensure that there is enough space overhead for the
ram to raise fully. See
Dimensions,
page 31.
Set the brake on the cart before using the system.
Model 16P957 only:
Using the holes in the ram base as
a guide, drill holes for 1/2 in. (13 mm) anchors.
Model 16P957 only:
Ensure that the ram base is level in
all directions. If necessary, level the base using metal
shims. Secure the base to the floor using 1/2 in. (13
mm) anchors that are long enough to prevent the ram
from tipping.
Grounding
Pump:
use the supplied ground wire and clamp. Con-
nect other end of wire to a true earth ground. See F
IG
. 5.
Air and fluid hoses:
use only electrically conductive
hoses with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check elec-
trical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to ground
exceeds 25 megohms, replace hose immediately.
Air compressor:
follow manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
Spray gun/dispense valve:
ground through connection
to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container:
follow local code.
Object being sprayed:
follow local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing:
follow local code.
Use only conductive metal pails that are properly
grounded.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure:
hold metal part of the dispense
valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then
trigger the valve.

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes
to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape
wire for the electric current.
