SETUP
NOTE:
Refer to Fig 10–1 for Steps 1 to 3.
1
.
Connect Hose and Gun.
Connect the gun, 3 ft.
hose and 50 ft. hose. Remove the disposable cap
from the outlet nipple. Screw the gun and hose as-
sembly onto the nipple.
NOTE:
Don’t use thread sealant, and don’t install the
spray tip yet!
WARNING
If you supply your own hoses and spray gun, be sure
the hoses are electrically conductive, that the gun
has a tip guard, and that each part is rated for at least
3000 psi (210 bar) Working Pressure. This is to re-
duce the risk of serious bodily injury caused by static
sparking, fluid injection or over–pressurization and
rupture of the hose or gun.
2. Two Gun Hookup.
Remove the plug from the 1/4
npsm(m) secondary hose outlet. Connect a hose
and gun to the outlet. Use a 1/4 in. ID, 50 ft. long
(minimum) main hose. For more flexible gun move-
ment, install a 3/16 in. ID, 3 ft. hose between the main
hose and the gun.
To avoid damaging the pressure control, which may
result in poor equipment performance and compo-
nent damage, follow these precautions:
1. Always use nylon spray hose at least 50 ft. long.
2. Never use a wire braid hose as it is too rigid to
act as a pulsation dampener.
3. Never install any shutoff device between the fil-
ter and the main hose.
Refer to Fig 10–1.
4. Always use the main filter outlet for one gun op-
eration. Never plug this outlet.
CAUTION
3. Fill the Packing
Nut/Wet–
Cup.
Fill the packing nut/wet–
cup 1/3 full with Graco Throat
Seal Liquid (TSL), supplied.
4. Check the Electrical Service.
a. Be sure the electrical serv-
ice is 120 V , 60 HzAC, 15
Amp (minimum) and that
the outlet you use is prop-
erly grounded.
b. Do not remove the third
prong of the power supply
cord, which is the grounding
prong, and do not use an
adapter.
c. Use an extension cord
which has 3 wires of a mini-
mum 12 gauge size, a
maximum of 150 ft. long
and is rated for 15 amps.
Longer lengths may af fect
sprayer performance.
5. Plug in the Sprayer .
Be sure the ON/OFF switch
is OFF. Then plug the cord into a grounded electrical
outlet at least 20 ft. away from the spray area.
WARNING
Proper electrical grounding is essential to reduce
the risk of fire or explosion which can result in seri-
ous bodily injury and property damage. Refer to the
warning section
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
on page 5 for more detailed grounding instructions.
6. Flush the pump
to remove the lightweight oil which
was left in to protect pump parts after factory testing.
Refer to
FLUSHING GUIDELINES
on page 14 for
the flushing procedure.
7. Prepare the paint
according to the manufacturer ’s
recommendations.
a. Remove any skin that may have formed. Stir the
paint to mix pigments.
b. Strain the paint through a fine nylon mesh bag
(available at most paint dealers) to remove parti-
cles that could clog the filter or spray tip. This is
probably the most important step toward
trouble–free spray painting.
