Grounding Grounding Grounding Installation Tools Required: • Grounding wires and clamps for pails The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes • Two 5 gallon (19 liter) metal pails to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire for the electric current.
Setup Setup 4. Replace pump guard (PG). 5. Attach suction hose (N) and tighten. 6. Attach electrically conductive fluid hose (W) to To avoid tip over, ensure cart is on a flat and level pump outlet (P) and tighten. surface. Failure to do so could result in injury or damage to equipment.
Pressure Relief Procedure Pressure Relief Procedure 3. Disengage gun trigger lock. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you see this symbol. This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, splashing fluid and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.
Clearing a Clogged Tip Clearing a Clogged Tip 6. Drain fluid. To drain fluid, slowly open all fluid drain valves, including fluid drain/purge valve (J), in system into a waste pail. If there is a return tube, open return line ball valve. Close valve after fluid is drained.
Flush Flush 6. Turn air regulator adjustment knob (G) counterclockwise until air pressure gauge (E) reads zero. To avoid fire and explosion, always ground equipment and waste container. To avoid static sparking and injury from splashing, always flush at lower possible pressure. Flush the Pump: •...

Flush e. When clean solvent flows from drain tube close fluid drain/purge valve (J) by rotating clockwise. Pump will stall. Stop the pump with the rod buried in the pump. g. Turn the air regulator adjustment knob (G) counterclockwise until air pressure gauge (E) reads zero.
Prime Prime 5. Open bleed type master air valve (B). 1. Perform the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 10. 2. Engage the gun trigger lock. Remove tip and tip guard from gun. 3. Place suction tube in the material that will be sprayed.

Spray Spray 7. Disengage gun trigger lock. NOTICE Running the pump while dry will cause the pump to quickly accelerate to a high speed and cause dam- age. To avoid damage, do not allow pump to run dry. NOTE: When spraying in enclosed areas, such as storage tanks, locate the pump outside the area.
1. Perform the Flush procedure on page 12. 2. Perform the Prime procedure on page 15. Graco does not require lubrication beyond the grease installed at the factory or through regular maintenance. 3. Check packing nut (F). Adjust packings and replace With good quality compressed air and normal ambient TSL as necessary.

Maintenance Add Lubrication Methods for adding lubrication are described below. Lubricate Air Valve Perform these steps annually, or more often depending on your duty cycle, air pressure, and air quality. Use a high quality lithium-based grease. • Remove and disassemble the air valve (see Remove Pump, page 23).
Maintenance Run Motor Manually 3. If a pilot valve is stuck in the open position or the pilot signal is leaking: a. Press the button on the opposite end from where the motor stopped and hold it in. This will cause the motor to stroke to the other end. b.
Troubleshooting - General Troubleshooting - General 1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 10. 2. Check all possible causes and problems before disassembling pump. * To determine if fluid hose or gun is obstructed, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 10. Disconnect fluid hose and place a container at NOTE: To find parts lists for the parts identified in the pump fluid outlet to catch any fluid.
Repair Repair Remove Lower 5. Disconnect fluid hose (W). Hold pump outlet fitting (P) with a wrench to keep it from loosening while you disconnect fluid hose. Required Tools: NOTE: Note the relative position of pump fluid outlet (P) • Set of adjustable wrenches to inlet of motor for easier reassembly alignment.
Repair Remove Pump 5. Loosen jam nut. 1. Follow Prepare to Service Lower, page 22. 2. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the pump guard (PG). 3. Remove rod coupling. 6. Spin pump to remove. 4. If using a cart-mounted unit, tip the cart onto its back.
Repair Install Pump 3. Re-install rod coupling (CP) and pump guard (PG). 1. If using a cart-mounted unit, tip the cart onto its back. Threads even with top surface Jam nut tight to bottom surface 4. Tighten jam nut. 2. Install pump by threading it into place. Threads should be even with the top surface.
Troubleshooting - Air Motor Troubleshooting - Air Motor 2. Check all possible causes and problems before disassembling pump. * To determine if fluid hose or gun is obstructed, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 10. Disconnect NOTE: To find parts lists for the parts identified in the fluid hose and place a container at pump fluid outlet to troubleshooting tables, see page numbers listed in the catch any fluid.

Troubleshooting - Air Motor Problem Cause Solution Motor stalled at top of stroke with no Top pilot valve (D) is not exhausting. Disconnect pilot line for that pilot. If exhaust at top pilot. Usually ice in the pilot or pilot motor changes over, top pilot is exhaust port.
Air Motor Repair Air Motor Repair Ice in Air Motor Repair Air Valve When compressed air is exhausted, the sudden drop in pressure causes the air temperature to drop below the freezing point. This causes any water liquid or vapor to turn to ice.
