Fluid Packing Rod Repair - Graco 224200 Instructions-Parts List Manual

Fluid Packing Rod Repair

The fluid packing rod can be replaced as individual
parts or as an assembly. The overall assembly is
pre-adjusted at the factory.
NOTE: Before installing the fluid packing rod into the
gun barrel, make sure the internal surfaces of the
barrel are clean. Remove any residue with a soft brush
or cloth. Check the inside of the barrel for marks from
high voltage arcing. If the marks are present, replace
the barrel.
If the parts are purchased separately, assemble them
as instructed below and as shown in Fig. 17.
1. Place the packing nut (28c) and o-ring (28g) on the
fluid rod (28b). Flats on the packing nut must be
facing toward the back of the fluid rod.
2. Fill the entire inner cavity of the spacer (28d) with
petroleum jelly. Place the spacer on the fluid rod
(28b) in the direction shown in Fig. 17. Generously
apply petroleum jelly to the outside of the spacer.
3. Place the fluid packing (28f), needle packing (28e),
and housing (28a) on the fluid rod (28b) as shown
in Fig. 17.
