To determine if the fluid hose or gun is obstructed, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure Warning
below. Disconnect the fluid hose and place a
container at the pump fluid outlet to catch any fluid. Turn on the air just enough to start the pump (about 1.4–2.8 bar [20–40 psi]). If the pump starts
when the air is turned on, the obstruction is in the fluid hose or gun.
NOTE:
If you experience air motor icing, call Graco Technical Assistance
(1–800–543–0339).
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including fluid injec-
tion, splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or injury from mov-
ing parts, always follow this procedure whenever you shut off
the pump, when checking or servicing any part of the spray/
dispensing system, when installing, cleaning or changing
spray tips/nozzles, and whenever you stop spraying/dis-
pensing.
1. Engage the spray gun/dispensing valve safety latch.
2. Shut off the air to the pump.
3. Close the bleed–type master air valve (required in your
system).
4. Disengage the gun/valve safety latch.
5. Hold a metal part of the gun/valve firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun/valve to relieve
pressure.
6. Engage the gun/valve safety latch.
7. Open the drain valve (required in your system) and/or the
pump bleeder valve, having a container ready to catch
the drainage.
8. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to spray/
dispense again.
If you suspect that the spray tip/nozzle or hose is completely
clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved after fol-
lowing 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.
