Setup - Graco PT2500 Instructions And Parts List

1. Prepare the paint according to the manufactur-
er's recommendations.
This is probably the most important step
toward trouble-free spraying!
Remove any skin that may have formed on the top
of the paint. If necessary, thin the paint. Finally, strain
the paint through a fine nylon mesh bag (available at
most paint dealers) to remove particles that could
clog the spray tip.
2. Install a spray tip and RAC IV tip guard on the
spray gun as instructed in manual 307–848.
3. Connect the hose and gun. Connect the other end
of the hose to the sprayer.
4. Check the hydraulic oil level. Unscrew the fill cap.
The oil should be 1 in. (25 mm) from the top of the
plate. If it is not, fill as necessary with lightweight hy-
draulic oil; use only Graco Hydraulic Oil, Part No.
218–797. Install the fill cap. See Fig 1.
5. Check the electrical service. It must be 120V, 60
HzAc, 15 Amp (minimum). Be sure the electrical out-
let is properly grounded.
You can use up to 100 ft. (30 m) of 3 wire, 14 gauge
(minimum) extension cord. Longer extension cords
may affect the sprayer performance. Use more spray
hose, not longer extension cords.
Do not remove the third (grounding) prong of the
plug, and do not use an adapter.
6. Plug in the sprayer. First be sure the ON/OFF
switch is OFF and the pressure control is turned fully
counterclockwise. Plug the sprayer into a
grounded outlet that is at least 20 ft. (6 m) away from
the spray area to reduce the chance of a spark ignit-
ing spray vapors or dust particles.
