Warnings 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.
Models Check the identification plate (ID) for the 6-digit part number of your package. Use the following matrix and tables to define the components of your package. For example, package number G30W80 represents a Merkur package (G), with a 30:1 ratio pump (30), wall mounting (W), and the components shown for (80) in the table on page 6. ti12326a Second and Third Digits First Digit...

General Information Reference numbers and letters in parentheses in the text refer to the callouts in the figures and the parts drawing. Always use Genuine Graco Parts and Accessories, available from your Graco distributor. If you supply your own accessories, be sure they are adequately sized and pressure-rated for your system.
Installation Supplied Components See F . 1. Components vary by package ordered. See tables on pages 6 to 7. Your package may include: • The red-handled bleed-type master air valve (U) is required in your system to relieve air trapped between it and the air motor and gun when the valve is closed.
Grounding The equipment must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of static and electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current due to static build up or in the event of a short circuit. 1. Pump: See F .

Installation Electrical Housing Access Remove outer two heater8 bracket screws. Tilt the heater away from the pump for easier access to the screws on the cover of the electrical housing. Hose Connections See F . 1, page 8. 1. Attach one end of the air hose to the gun air regula- tor (T, G40 spray guns only).
Operation Pressure Relief Procedure 1. Engage the trigger lock. 2. See F . 1. Turn off the bleed-type master air valve (U). 3. Disengage the trigger lock. 4. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to a grounded metal waste container. Trigger the gun to relieve fluid pressure.
Operation Wet Cup Before starting, fill wet cup 1/3 full with Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL) or compatible solvent. . 5. Wet Cup Prime the Pump 1. See F . 1. Lock gun trigger. Remove tip guard and spray tip from gun (H). Refer to gun manual. 2.
Adjust the Atomization 1. Do not turn on atomizing air supply. Fluid pressure is controlled by the air pressure supplied to the pump (pump air regulator). Set fluid pressure at low starting pressure. For low viscosity fluids (less than 25 sec, #2 Zahn cup) with lower percent solids (typi- cally less than 40%), start at 300 psi (2.1 MPa, 21 bar) at pump outlet.
Operation 3. See F . 7. For narrower pattern, turn pattern adjustment valve knob (AA) counterclockwise (out). If pattern is still not narrow enough, increase air pressure to gun slightly or use different size tip. too little air correct no air amount of .
Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Schedule The operating conditions of your particular system determine how often maintenance is required. Establish a preventive maintenance schedule by recording when and what kind of maintenance is needed, and then determine a regular schedule for checking your system. Replace lens covers on regulator gauge lenses when dirt makes gauges difficult to read.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Relieve the pressure before checking or servicing the equipment. Problem Pump fails to operate. Pump operates, but output is low on both strokes. Pump operates, but output is low on downstroke. Erratic or accelerated pump speed. Fluid being pumped is visible in the TSL reservoir.
