Warnings; Setup - Graco GM 5000 Instructions-Parts List Manual

WARNING
If you are supplying 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) Maximum
Working Pressure . This is to reduce the risk of seri-
ous injury caused by static sparking, fluid injection
or over-pressurization and rupture of the hose or
gun.
CAUTION
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.
(15.2 m) long.
2. Never use a wire braid hose; it is too rigid to
act as a pulsation dampener.
3. Never install any shutoff device between the
filter and the main hose. See Fig 1.
4. Always use the main filter outlet (55) for one
gun operation. Never plug this outlet.
1. Be sure your system is properly grounded.
Read and follow the warning section, FIRE OR
EXPLOSION HAZARD, on page 5. If you are
using the sprayer with the gasoline engine, secure
the ground wire to a true earth ground. If you are
using the sprayer with an electric motor, plug it into
a properly grounded outlet.
2. Connect the hose and gun. Screw the 50 ft.
(15.2 m) main fluid hose (126) onto the outlet
nipple (55). Screw on the whip end hose (127).
Screw on the gun (128). Do not use thread sealant
on swivels, and do not install the spray tip yet! See
Fig. 1.
3. Two gun hookup. Remove the cap (56) from the
secondary hose outlet and attach an accessory
hose and gun to the 1/4 npsm(m) nipple.
See Fig. 1.
