Warning BURN HAZARD Equipment surfaces and fluids that are heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe burns, do not touch hot fluid or equipment. Wait until equipment/fluid has cooled completely. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic fumes, burns, and hearing loss.
Installation General Information • The typical installation shown in F guide for selecting and installing system compo- nents. Contact your Graco distributor for assistance in planning a system to suit your needs. • Always use genuine Graco parts and accessories. •...

Installation Ground Wire Connection • Air and fluid hoses: Use only grounded hoses with a maximum of 500 ft (150 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity. • Air compressor: Follow the manufacturer’s recom- mendations. • Fluid supply container: Follow the local code. Mountings CAUTION The pump exhaust air may contain contaminants.

4. At inlet fluid pressures greater than 15 psi (0.1 MPa, 1 bar), diaphragm life will be shortened. Fluid Outlet Line A fluid drain valve (J) is required to relieve pressure in the hose if it is plugged. The drain valve reduces the risk of serious injury, including splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or contamination from hazardous fluids when relieving pressure.

Operation Operation Pressure Relief Procedure 1. Shut off the air to the pump. 2. Open any available outbound fluid valve to relieve fluid pressure from the pump. 3. If fluid is still in the outbound fluid lines, isolate this fluid as follows: a.
Maintenance Lubrication The air valve is designed to operate unlubricated, how- ever if lubrication is desired, every 500 hours of opera- tion (or monthly) remove the hose from the pump air inlet and add two drops of machine oil to the air inlet. CAUTION Do not over-lubricate the pump.

Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Schedule Establish a preventive maintenance schedule based on the pump’s service history. This is especially important for prevention of spills or leakage due to diaphragm failure. Operator Task Inspect system for leaks Depressurize fluid, after operation Remove heat from system, after operation Inspect diaphragm for wear Inspect check valve compo-...
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting • Relieve the pressure before checking or servicing the equipment. • Check all possible problems and causes before disassembling the pump. PROBLEM Pump cycles at stall or fails to hold pressure at stall. Pump will not cycle, or cycles once and stops.
Page 15
PROBLEM Leak in inlet or outlet sanitary fit- ting. Fluid in exhaust air. Pump exhausts excessive air at stall. Pump leaks air externally. Pump leaks fluid externally from ball check valves. Chattering. 310622L CAUSE Loose sanitary clamp. Damaged or worn gasket. Misalignment of inlet/outlet hose or pipe.
Service Service Repairing the Air Valve Tool Required • Torque wrench • Torx (T20) screwdriver or 7 mm (9/32 in.) socket wrench • Needle-nose pliers • O-ring pick • Lithium base grease Air Valve Repair Kit 255122 is available. Refer to Parts on page 31.
