Warnings WARNING EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD Misuse can cause death or serious injury. • Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system component.
Installation Installation Grounding Pressure Relief Procedure Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you see this symbol. The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire for the electric current.
A fuse of the correct voltage and amperage must 5. Ground the system. See Grounding instructions, be installed in line with the power entry to the sys- page 6. tem. Graco recommends using a 10A time delay fuse. Pump Mounting The pump provides lubricant flow and pressure to oper- ate an automatic lubrication system.
Installation Motor Electrical Connection Vent Valve The vent valve (L) reduces system pressure in Series Single Line system and resets the injectors. Pressure Relief Valve The pump design includes a self-contained pressure relief valve (N). When needed, the valve relieves pressure back into the pump tank (K).
