Introduction How the Electrostatic Spray Gun Works The air hose supplies air to the spray gun. Part of the air operates the turbine and the rest of the air atomizes the fluid being sprayed. The turbine generates power, which is converted by the power cartridge to supply high volt- age current to the gun’s electrode.
Installation Installation Install the System WARNING Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard Installing and servicing this equipment requires access to parts which may cause electric shock or other serious injury if work is not performed properly. •Do not install or service this equipment unless you are trained and qualified.

Installation Connect the Air Line WARNING Electric Shock Hazard To reduce the risk of electric shock or other serious injury, the air supply hose must be electrically connected to a true earth ground. Use only Graco Grounded Air Supply Hose. 1.
Select a Fluid Nozzle and Air WARNING Pressurized Equipment Hazard To reduce the risk of an injury, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 23 before removing or installing a fluid nozzle and/or air cap. The gun is supplied with Part No. 197266 Nozzle and 24A376 Air Cap.
Installation Connect the Fluid Line 1. Before connecting the fluid line (N), blow it out with air and flush it with solvent. Use solvent which is compatible with the fluid to be sprayed. 2. Install a fluid regulator (M) on the fluid line to control fluid pressure to the gun.
Grounding WARNING Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard When operating the electrostatic gun, any ungrounded objects in the spray area (peo- ple, containers, tools, etc.) can become electrically charged. Improper grounding can result in static sparking, which can cause a fire, explosion, or electric shock. Follow the grounding instructions below.
Installation Check Electrical Grounding WARNING Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard Megohmmeter Part No. 241079 (AA-see . 3.) is not approved for use in a hazard- ous area. To reduce the risk of sparking, do not use the megohmmeter to check electri- cal grounding unless: •The gun has been removed from the haz- ardous area;...
Check Fluid Resistivity WARNING Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard Check the fluid resistivity in a non-hazard- ous area only. Resistance Meter 722886 and Probe 722860 are not approved for use in a hazardous area. Failure to follow this warning could cause fire, explosion, or electric shock and result in serious injury and property damage.
Maintenance INSTRUCTIONS Flush the Spray Gun Flush the gun before changing colors, at the end of the day, before storing, and before repairing the gun. WARNING Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or elec- tric shock, turn the ES ON/OFF valve OFF before flushing the gun.

Maintenance 6. Shut off or disconnect the solvent line. 7. Hang the gun from its hook, with the nozzle pointing down. 8. When ready to spray again, reconnect the fluid sup- ply line. Follow the Setup procedure in the Opera- tion Manual.
Electrical Tests Electrical components inside the gun affect performance and safety. The following procedures test the condition of the power supply (18) and electrode (29), and electri- cal continuity between components. Use megohmmeter Part No. 241079 (AA) and an applied voltage of 500 V. Connect the leads as shown. WARNING Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard Megohmmeter Part No.
Electrical Tests Test Power Supply Resistance 1. Remove the power supply (18), page 29. 2. Remove the turbine alternator (19) from the power supply, page 30. 3. Measure resistance from the power supply's ground strips (EE) to the spring (18b). See F 4.
Test Electrode Resistance 1. Insert a conductive rod (B) into the gun barrel (removed for the power supply test) and against the metal contact (C) in the front of the barrel. 2. Measure the resistance between the conductive rod (B) and the electrode (29). The resistance should be 20-30 megohms.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting WARNING Electric Shock Hazard Installing and servicing this equipment requires access to parts which may cause an electric shock or other serious injury if the work is not performed properly. Do not install or repair this equipment unless you are trained and qualified.
Gun Operation Troubleshooting Problem Excessive spray fog. “Orange Peel” finish. Fluid leaks from the fluid packing area Air leaks from the front of the gun Fluid leakage from the front of the Gun does not spray Dirty air cap 309291P Cause Atomizing air pressure too high.
Troubleshooting Electrical Troubleshooting Problem Poor wrap. ES indicator or voltage/current dis- play is not lit. Operator gets mild shock. Operator gets shock from workpiece. Workpiece not grounded. * ES indicator light is off when the gun is triggered. Cause ES ON/OFF valve OFF (0).* Gun air pressure too low.
Repair Pressure Relief Procedure WARNING Pressurized Equipment Hazard The system pressure must be manually relieved to prevent the system from starting or spraying accidentally. To reduce the risk of an injury from electric shock, accidental spray from the gun, splashing fluid, or moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you: •...
Repair Prepare the Gun for Service WARNING Electric Shock Hazard Installing and repairing this equipment requires access to parts that may cause electric shock or other serious injury if the work is not performed properly. Do not install or ser- vice this equipment unless you are trained and quali- fied.
Air Cap/Nozzle Replacement CAUTION Hold the front end of the gun up and trigger the gun while removing the nozzle to help drain the gun and prevent any paint or solvent left in the gun from entering the air passages. 1.
Repair Electrode Replacement 1. Prepare the gun for service, page 24. 2. Remove the air cap and nozzle, page 25. 3. Unscrew the electrode (29) with the multi-tool (37). Hold the packing rod end (26h) to prevent it from turning. See F .
Fluid Packing Removal 1. Prepare the gun for service, page 24. 2. Remove the air cap and fluid nozzle, page 25. 3. Remove the electrode, page 26. 4. Remove the trigger screws (8) and trigger (30). See . 11. 5. Remove the packing rod (26), using the multi-tool (37).
Repair Packing Rod Repair You may replace the packing rod as individual parts or as an assembly. The assembly is pre-adjusted at the factory. 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.
Barrel Removal 1. Prepare the gun for service, page 24. 2. Carefully loosen the nut (32) from the bracket fluid fitting (13). Pull the tube (14) out of the fitting. Make sure both ferrules and the nut stay with the tube. 3.
