The typical installation shown in F . 1 is only a guide for selection and installation of a pump. It is not an actual system design. Contact your Graco representative or Graco distributor for assistance in the design of a suitable system.
Installation Installation System Accessories • Install an air line lubricator (N) for automatic air motor lubrication. NOTICE • Install a bleed-type master air valve (A) to relieve air trapped between it and the motor when the valve is Do not hang the air accessories directly on the air inlet closed.
Installation Grounding Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive hoses. Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk recommendations. of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape Fluid supply container: follow local code.
Operation Operation Pressure Relief Procedure To determine the fluid output pressure using the air regulator reading, multiply the ratio of the pump by the air pressure shown on the regulator gauge. For Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever example: you see this symbol. 3 (:1) ratio x 180 psi air = 540 psi fluid output 3 (:1) ratio x 12 bar air = 36 bar fluid output 3 (:1) ratio x 1.2 MPa air = 3.6 MPa fluid output...

Operation NOTE: Stop the pump if it is accelerating too quickly or is running too fast, and check the fluid supply. If the supply container is empty and air has been pumped into the lines, prime the pump and lines with fluid, or flush it and leave filled with a compatible solvent.
Recycling and Disposal Recycling and Disposal End of Product Life At the end of the product’s useful life, dismantle and recycle it in a responsible manner. • Perform the Pressure Relief Procedure in your pump manual. • Drain and dispose of fluids according to applicable regulations.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 8, before checking or repairing the pump. 2. Check all possible problems and causes before disassembling pump. Problem Cause Solution Pump fails to operate. Inadequate air supply pressure or Increase air supply; clear restricted air lines Closed or clogged dispensing valve Open;...
Repair Repair NOTICE Do not damage the plated surface of the trip rod (31). Damaging the surface of the trip rod can result in erratic air motor operation. Use the padded pliers (207579) to grasp the rod. This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is 7.
