Shutdown And Care - Graco 231–406, Series A Instructions-Parts List Manual

Shutdown and Care

1. Check wet-cup (A) daily. See Fig 5. First relieve
pressure and remove wet-cup plug. Keep wet-cup
1/3 full with Graco Throat Seal Liquid at all times
to help prevent material from building up on piston
rod which causes packings to wear prematurely.
Tighten wet-cup, which is also packing nut, just
enough to stop leakage. Overtightening wet-cup
may cause packings to bind and wear out quickly.
Use screwdriver and light hammer to adjust wet-
cup.
2. Clean fluid filter (B) often and whenever sprayer is
stored. First relieve pressure. See manual
307–273 for cleaning procedure.
3. Fill connecting rod cavity (C) with motor oil every
100 hours of operation. First relieve pressure and
then remove front cover.
4. For short shutoff periods, leave pump in the mate-
rial, relieve pressure, and clean spray tip.
