Adjust The Spray Pattern - Graco PRO Auto Xs Instructions-Parts List Manual

Adjust the Spray Pattern

Follow the steps below to establish the correct fluid flow
and air flow. Do not turn on the turbine air (TA) yet.
WARNING
Fire and Explosion Hazard
To reduce the risk of fire and explosion, only
use this equipment with fluids that meet at
least one of the following conditions for
non-flammability:.
• The fluid has a flash point above 140°F (60°C)
and a maximum organic solvent concentration of
20%, by weight, per ASTM Standard D93.
• The fluid does not sustain burning when tested
per ASTM Standard D4206 Sustained Burn Test.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
Contact with the charged components of
the spray gun will cause an electric shock.
Do not touch the gun nozzle or electrode or
come within 2 ft (0.61 m) of the front of the
gun during operation or until performing the Fluid
Voltage Discharge and Grounding Procedure on
page 21.
Follow the Fluid Voltage Discharge and Grounding
Procedure on page 21 when you stop spraying and
whenever you are instructed to discharge the voltage.

WARNING
Component Rupture Hazard
To reduce the risk of component rupture,
which can cause serious injury, do not
exceed the maximum working pressure of
the lowest rated system component. This equipment
has a 100 psi (0.7 MPa, 7 bar) maximum working air
and fluid pressure.
WARNING
Pressurized Equipment Hazard
To reduce the risk of an injury, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 21
whenever you are instructed to relieve the
pressure.
1. Discharge the system voltage (page 21).
2. Relieve the pressure (page 21).
3. Loosen the air cap retaining ring, and rotate the air
cap for a vertical or horizontal spray pattern. See
F . 13.. Tighten the retaining ring until the air cap is
IG
held firmly in place; you should not be able to rotate
the air cap horns by hand.
