Installation
General Information
•
FA pumps have painted aluminum center sections
that may exhibit signs of corrosion depending on
cleaning solutions used.
•
The typical installations shown in FIGs. 2-4 are only
guides for selecting and installing system
components. Contact your Graco distributor for
assistance in planning a system to suit your needs.
•
Always use genuine Graco parts and accessories.
•
Reference numbers and letters in parentheses refer
to the callouts in the figures and the parts lists on
pages 28-30.
Tightening Clamps Before First Use
After you unpack the pump, and before you use it for the
first time, check all clamps and tighten as necessary.
Grounding
•
Pump
: Connect a ground wire and clamp as shown
. 1. Loosen the grounding screw (W). Insert
one end of a 12 ga (1.5 mm²) minimum ground wire
(Y) behind the grounding screw and tighten the
screw securely. Connect the clamp end of the
ground wire to a true earth ground. Order Part No.

•
Fluid hoses
: Use only grounded hoses with a maxi-
mum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined hose length to
ensure grounding continuity.
•
Air compressor
: Follow the manufacturer’s recom-
mendations.
•
All solvent pails used when flushing:
Follow the local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive.
Do not place the pail on a non-conductive surface,
such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the
grounding continuity.
•
Fluid supply container:
Follow the local code.
The pump is very heavy (see
Technical Data
on
page 32 for specific weights). If the pump must be
moved, follow the pressure relief procedure on
page 12 and have two people to lift the pump by
grasping the outlet manifold securely or use
appropriate lifting equipment.
To reduce the risk of serious injury due to burns,
insulate and/or label the pump before pumping hot
fluids.
The equipment must be grounded. Grounding
reduces the risk of static and electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electrical current
due to static build up or in the event of a short
circuit.
