Replacing the Bearings

1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 20
before servicing.
2. Turn off the main air valve.
3. With the bleeder type main air valve turned off,
remove the twenty hex bolts (458) with a 13 mm
wrench or socket and then remove the four sheet

tioner. See Fig. 100. The right rear cover may
contain a sensor attached to a cable. Do not
remove the sensor, but carefully set the cover to
the side without straining or damaging the sensor
or cable. The four main bearings (497) are now
exposed.
4. Remove the screws (469) and the two guards
(424, 446) from the sides of the proportioner.
5. Remove the set screws (452) using a 3 mm hex
wrench.

rings (498) from the shafts and remove the retain-
ing washers (499). See Fig. 101.
7. You should now be able to slide the bearings (497)
off of the shaft ends.
8. Replace the bearings only with identical Graco
replacement parts. Pack the bearings in Industrial
Grade 1, Heavy Duty, Extreme Pressure, Lithium
Soap Grease, Graco Part Number 110293 or
equivalent.
