Air Connections

See the System Pneumatic Schematic on page 31.
1. Tighten all ProMix system air and fluid line connec-
tions as they may have loosened during shipment.

3. Connect a clean, dry, main air supply line to the
bleed-type air shutoff valve at the main air inlet. This
air line supplies air to operate the gun, solenoids,
and dispense valves.
NOTE: See Technical Data on page 43 for additional
air supply/consumption information.
4. lnstall a bleed-type shutoff valve into the air purge
valve line.
5. See F . 5. Install the supplied elbow (E), check
IG
valve (CV), and tube fitting (F) at the inlet of the air
purge valve (APV). Use the 25 ft (7.6 m), 1/4 in. (6
mm) OD purge air tubing (AT, supplied) to connect
a clean, dry air supply to the fitting (F) at the air
purge valve inlet. Install filters/dryers as needed.
NOTICE
Use a separate purge air supply line for the air purge
valve (APV). Do not connect the air purge valve to the
unit's main air supply or to the air manifold (AM, F
4), to avoid contaminating the solenoids, air logic
lines, or unit's main air supply with fluid if the air purge
valve (APV) and check valve (CV) fail.
Do not shorten the 25 ft (7.6 m), 1/4 in. (6 mm) OD
purge air tubing (AT). Check daily for any visible sol-
vent accumulation. Notify your supervisor if solvent is
present.

The ProMix potlife timer will not function properly
when used with multiple guns operating simultane-
ously. To avoid having mixed material set in the
equipment, carefully monitor potlife by some other
means.

If using a Graco electrostatic PRO
valve must be installed in the gun air line to shutoff the
atomizing and turbine air to the gun. Contact your
Graco distributor for information on air shutoff valves
for electrostatic applications.
