Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information about your material, request MSDS from distributor or retailer. • Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine Graco replacement parts only. • Do not alter or modify equipment.
Installation Installation Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may reduce sprayer performance. Grounding and Electric Fluid supply container: follow local code. Requirements Solvent pails used when flushing: follow local code. Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded surface such as concrete. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.
Component Identification Component Identification Power Switch Turns sprayer ON and OFF. Prime/Spray Valve • PRIME position (pointing down) directs fluid to prime tube. • SPRAY position (pointing forward) directs pressurized fluid to paint hose. • Automatically relieves system pressure in overpressure situations. Pressure control knob Increases (clockwise) and decreases (counter-clockwise) fluid pressure in pump, hose and spray gun.
Operation Operation Trigger Lock 2. Turn Prime/Spray valve to PRIME to relieve pressure. Always engage the trigger lock when you stop spraying to prevent the gun from being triggered accidentally by hand or if dropped or bumped. ti9346a 3. Hold gun firmly to side of pail.
