Warnings - Graco Series B Instructions-Parts List Manual

FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS.
Read And Understand All Instruction Manuals Before Operating Equipment.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
General Safety
Any misuse of the spray equipment or accessories, such
as overpressurizing, modifying parts, using incompatible
chemicals and fluids, or using worn or damaged parts,
can cause them to rupture and result in splashing in the
eyes or on the skin, or other serious bodily injury, or fire,
explosion or property damage.
NEVER alter or modify any part of this equipment; doing
so could cause it to malfunction.
CHECK all spray equipment regularly and repair or re-
place worn or damaged parts immediately.
Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing and
respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent
manufacturer.
System Pressure
This pump can develop 360 psi (25 bar) MAXIMUM
WORKING PRESSURE, at 180 psi (12 bar) MAXIMUM
INCOMING AIR PRESSURE. Be sure that all spray
equipment and accessories are rated to withstand the
maximum working pressure of this pump.
The MAXIMUM INCOMING AIR PRESSURE to the agi-
tator is 100 psi (7 bar).
DO NOT exceed the maximum working pressure of any
component or accessory used in the system.
HOSE SAFETY
Pressurized fluid in the hoses can be dangerous. If the
hose develops a leak, split or rupture due to any kind of
wear, damage or misuse, the spray emitted from it can
cause serious bodily injury or property damage.
TIGHTEN all fluid connections securely before each use.
Pressurized fluid can dislodge a loose coupling or allow
pressurized spray to be emitted from the coupling.
NEVER use a damaged hose. Before each use, check
the entire hose for cuts, leaks, abrasion, bulging cover, or
damage or movement of the hose couplings. If any of
these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
HANDLE AND ROUTE HOSES CAREFULLY. Do not
pull on hoses to move equipment. Do not use fluids which
are not compatible with the inner tube and cover of the
hose. DO NOT expose Graco hoses to temperatures
above 82_ C (180_ F) or below –40_ C (–40_ F).

SAFETY WARNINGS
Fluid Compatibility
BE SURE that all fluids and solvents used are chemically
compatible with the wetted parts shown in the TECHNI-
CAL DATA on the back cover. Always read the manufac-
turer's literature before using fluid or solvent in this pump.
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, splashing
in the eyes or on the skin, or injury from moving
parts, always follow this procedure whenever you
shut off the pump, when checking or servicing any
part of the system, when installing, cleaning or
changing spray nozzles, and whenever you stop
spraying.
1. Shut off the air to the pump.
2. Close the bleed–type master air valve (required
in your system).
3. Close the pump air valve.
4. Close the pump restrictor valve.
5. Shut off the air to the agitator (if used).
6. Hold a metal part of the spray gun firmly to the
side of a grounded metal pail, and trigger the
spray gun to relieve pressure.
7. Open the drain valve, having a container ready
to catch the drainage.
8. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to
spray again.
Hose Grounding Continuity
Proper hose grounding continuity is essential to main-
taining a grounded spray system. An ungrounded or
poorly grounded hose can make your system hazardous.
Refer to FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD section on
page 3.
Check the electrical resistance of your air and fluid hoses
at least once a week. If your hose does not have a tag on
it which specifies the maximum electrical resistance,
contact the hose supplier or manufacturer for the maxi-
mum resistance limits. Use a resistance meter in the ap-
propriate range for your hose to check the resistance. If
the resistance exceeds the recommended limits, replace
it immediately.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch or amputate your fingers or other
body parts. KEEP CLEAR of moving parts when starting
or operating the pump. Follow the Pressure Relief Pro-
cedure, above, to prevent the pump from starting acci-
dentally.
