Setup - Graco 231-547 Instructions-Parts List Manual

WARNING
If you supply your own hoses and spray gun, be
sure the hoses are electrically conductive, that the
gun has a tip guard, and that each part is rated for
at least 2750 psi (195 bar) Working Pressure . This
is to reduce the risk of serious injury caused by
static sparking, fluid injection or over-pressurization
and rupture of the hose or gun.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the pressure control, which
may result in poor equipment performance and
component damage, follow these precautions:
1. Always use a nylon spray hose at least 50 ft.
(15 m) long.
2. Never use a wire braid hose as it is too rigid to
act as a pulsation dampener.
3. Never install any shutoff device between the
filter and the hose. See Fig. 2.
1. Connect the hose (74) and gun (67) and screw it
onto the outlet nipple (28). Don't use thread
sealant, and don't install the spray tip yet!

2. Fill the wet–cup (102). Pry off the wet-cup seal.
Fill the cup 1/3 full with Graco Throat Seal Liquid
(TSL), supplied. Install the wet-cup seal.
3. Plug in the sprayer. Be sure the ON/OFF switch
(52) is OFF. Plug the cord into a 15A grounded
outlet at least 20 feet away from the spray area. A
12 AWG 150 ft (45 m) grounded extension cord
may be used.
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Proper electrical grounding is essential
to reduce the risk of fire or explosion
which can result in serious injury and
property damage. Also read FIRE OR
EXPLOSION HAZARD on page 2.
4. Flush the pump to remove the lightweight oil
which was left in to protect pump parts after fac-
tory testing. See page 12.
5. Prepare the paint according to the manufactu-
ers's recommendations. Remove any paint skin.
Strain the paint through a fine nylon mesh bag
(available at most paint dealers) to remove par-
ticles that could clog the spray tip. This is an
important step toward trouble-free paint spraying.
