General Information
NOTE: Reference numbers and letters in parentheses
in the text refer to the callouts in the figures and the
parts drawing.
NOTE: Always use Genuine Graco Parts and Acces-
sories, available from your Graco distributor. Refer to
Product Data Sheet 305900. If you supply your own
accessories, be sure they are adequately sized and
pressure-rated for your system.
Fig. 1 is only a guide for selecting and installing sys-
tem components and accessories. Contact your Graco
distributor for assistance in designing a system to suit
your particular needs.
Prepare the Operator
All persons who operate the equipment must be
trained in the safe, efficient operation of all system
components as well as the proper handling of all fluids.
All operators must thoroughly read all instruction
manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equip-
ment.
The following manuals are included with this equip-
ment:
D 308762, Light Duty Cart Mount Airless Packages
D 307619, Monark 23:1 CST Pump
D 307043, Monark Air Motor
D 308686, Air Regulator Kit
D 307273, Fluid Filter
D 311254, Airless Spray Gun (Model 232411 only)
Prepare the Site
Ensure that you have an adequate compressed air
supply. Refer to the performance charts on page 18 to
find the air consumption of your pump.
Refer to Fig. 1. Bring a compressed air supply line
from the air compressor to the pump location. Be sure
all air hoses are properly sized and pressure-rated for
your system. Use only electrically conductive hoses.
The air hose (A) should have a 3/8 npsm(m) thread.
Install a bleed-type shutoff valve (B) in the air line to
isolate the air line components for servicing. Install an
air line filter (C) and a moisture trap and drain valve
(D) to help remove moisture and contaminants from
the compressed air supply.
Keep the site clear of any obstacles or debris that
could interfere with the operator's movement.
Have a grounded, metal pail available for use when
flushing the system.

Setup
Supplied Components
Refer to Fig. 1.
A red-handled bleed-type master air valve (E) and
a fluid drain valve (F) are supplied. These compo-
nents help reduce the risk of serious injury, includ-
ing fluid injection and splashing of fluid in the eyes
or on the skin, and injury from moving parts if you
are adjusting or repairing the pump.
The bleed-type master air valve relieves air trapped
between this valve and the pump after the valve is
closed. Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle
unexpectedly. Locate the valve close to the pump.
The fluid drain valve assists in relieving fluid pres-
sure in the displacement pump, hose, and gun.
Triggering the gun to relieve pressure may not be
sufficient.
D The red-handled bleed-type master air valve (E)
is required in your system to relieve air trapped
between it and the air motor and gun when the
valve is closed (see the WARNING above). Do not
block access to the valve.
D The pump air regulator (G) controls pump speed
and outlet pressure by adjusting the air pressure to
the pump.
D The air relief valve (H) opens automatically to
prevent overpressurization of the pump.
D The air inlet swivel (K) connects incoming air to
the pump.
D The suction tube (27) and strainer (28) allow the
pump to draw fluid from a 5 gallon (19 liter) pail (L).
The strainer keeps large particles from entering the
pump. Refer to the parts drawing on page 14.
D The fluid filter (23) includes a 60 mesh (250
micron) stainless steel element to filter particles
from the fluid as it leaves the pump. It also includes
the fluid drain valve (F), which is required in your
system to relieve fluid pressure in the hose and gun
(see the WARNING above).
D The airless spray gun (106) dispenses the fluid.
The gun houses the spray tip (107), which is
available in a wide range of sizes for different spray
patterns and rates of flow.
D The fluid hose (101) and whip hose (103) supply
fluid to the gun.
D The gun swivel (104) allows greater gun maneu-
verability. The swivel includes an in-line filter.
