Graco Waterborne Fluid Hose Repair

WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ELECTRIC
SHOCK HAZARD
To reduce the risk of a fire, explosion, or
electric shock:
D Follow the Fluid Voltage Discharge
and Grounding Procedure on page
19 before flushing, checking, or serv-
icing the system and whenever you
are instructed to discharge the volt-
age.
D Clean all the parts with a non-flammable fluid as
defined on the front cover of this manual.
D Do not service this equipment unless you are
trained and qualified.
D Do not come within 2 ft. (610 mm) of the gun
nozzle or gun-mounted fluid regulator during
gun operation or until after following the Fluid
Voltage Discharge and Grounding Proce-
dure.
WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
To reduce the risk of an injury, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 19
before checking or servicing the system
and whenever you are instructed to relieve the
pressure.
Damaged hoses or hoses that have a "pin-hole" dielec-
tric failure, close to the end of the hose, can be re-
paired by cutting away the failed portion and restrip-
ping the hoses to the dimensions shown in Fig. 44.
1. Discharge the voltage as instructed on page 19.
2. Relieve the system pressure as instructed on page
19.
3. Disconnect the fluid hose from the gun and voltage
isolation system.
4. Cut off the damaged end of the hose. If the hose
has a pin-hole failure, strip back the outer hose
jacket (H) and the conductive layer (J) about 12
inches (105 mm) on each hose end. Look for the
failure point, which will be a very small pin-hole,
discolored due to arcing. Continue stripping back
the hose until the failure point is found.

5. Carefully cut through the outer hose jacket (H) and
peel it back about 12 inches (105 mm). Do not cut
into the conductive layer (J) of the hose.
6. Cut through the first 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of the
conductive hose layer (J) to create an edge to hold
onto. Peel back the conductive hose layer by
unwrapping it in a spiral pattern. Cut it off at the
dimension shown in Fig. 44.
7. Cut off the inner hose layer (K) to the dimension
shown in Fig. 44.
8. Inspect the hose for any nicks or cuts. Any nicks
or cuts into the inner hose layer (K) will weaken
the dielectric strength of the hose and shorten the
service life. Repeat the above procedure if any
damage is found.
9. Install a new barbed fitting by applying red dielec-
tric grease to the outside of the barbs, and press-
ing the fitting into the gun end of the hose. Refer to
the drawing of the Waterborne Fluid Hose Assem-
bly on page 56.
10. Install the three o-rings on the barbed fitting.
11. Connect the fluid hose to the gun as instructed on
page 15.
