    WARNING Read warnings, pages 4-5. • Select system components that meet temper- ature and pressure ratings listed in Technical Data, page 28. The heater’s normal output range is adjustable from 84-220°F (29-104°C). • Locate heater away from all flammable mate- rials and where operators will not come in contact with hot metal surfaces.
  • Page 8: Mounting Heater

    Installation Mounting Heater • The heater has a surface temperature of T2 (482°F, 250°C). Follow temperature code when locating heater. See Technical Data, page 28, for more temperature code informa- tion. • Heater controls must be easily accessible. • The mounting surface must be able to support the weight of the heater and fluid, and any stress caused during operation.

  • Page 12: Determining Proper Fluid Temperature

    Note that most of the viscosity reduction occurs by 130°F (55°C). Under-Boil is the Graco method of hot, airless spraying where the fluid is heated to a temperature just under the boiling point of its most volatile solvent.
  • Page 13 (60) . 10: Effect of Temperature on Viscosity The chart in F . 10 shows the effect of temperature in reducing two fluids to a sprayable viscosity, between 20 and 34 seconds using a No. 2 Zahn cup. Note that temperature has more of an effect on high solid fluids than on thin enamels.
  • Page 14: Operation

    Operation Operation Pressure Relief Procedure WARNING Read warnings, page 4. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying, and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment. 1. Engage the gun safety lock. 2. Shut off main power to the heater. 3. Circulate fluid for at least 10 minutes to cool the heated fluid and heater.
  • Page 15: Setting Heater Control

    Setting Heater Control (Refer to F . 11) 1. Set the heater control knob (33) to a trial setpoint of 4 or 5. 2. Start the pump and circulate fluid through the sys- tem at very low pressure, about 10-12 oz/min (0.30-0.35 liter/min).
  • Page 16: Maintenance

    Maintenance Maintenance WARNING Read warnings, pages 4 and 5. Make sure the main power is off and heater is cool before doing mainte- nance. Flushing Clogged fluid passages are difficult to clean and reduce heating efficiency, flow rate, and pressure. Flush fre- quently, including whenever system is not in use.
