Installation
NOTE: Reference numbers in parentheses in the text
refer to the numbers in the Parts.

Grounding

Accessories are available from Graco. Be sure all
accessories are properly sized to withstand the pressures in the system.

To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump,
bead spray gun, paint spray gun and all other system
equipment.

Proper grounding is essential to maintaining a safe
system.

1. Pump: use a ground wire and clamp.

Mount Valve

2. Air compressors and hydraulic power supplies:
follow manufacturer’s recommendations.

Mount the valve on a 0.50 in. (12.7 mm) diameter rod
on a mounting fixture or a dispensing machine. The
bead gun has a clamping set screw (6) for mounting.

3. Air and fluid hoses connected to the pump: use
only grounded hoses with a maximum of 500 feet
(150 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity.

Connect the Air Lines

4. Dispensing valve: obtain grounding through connection to a properly grounded fluid hose, frame
and pump.
5. Fluid supply container: according to local code.

Clean all lines and connections of dirt, burrs, etc. and
blow them out with clean air before connecting them to
the system. Install an air filter in the air supply line to
remove harmful dirt and moisture from the compressed
air.

4

308612

6. All solvent pails used when flushing: ground according to local code. Use only metal pails, which
are conductive. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard,
which interrupts the grounding continuity.

Operation
Pressure Relief Procedure

WARNING
FLUID INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including fluid injection,splashing in
the eyes or on the skin, or injury from
moving parts, always follow this procedure whenever you shut off the pump, when checking or servicing any part of the dispensing system, when
installing, cleaning, or changing part of the valve,
and whenever you stop dispensing.
1. Shut off the air supply to the bead tank. Bleed the
bead tank.
2. Close the bleed-type master air valve (required
with air-powered pumps).
3. Actuate the dispensing valve to relieve pressure.
4. Leave the drain valve(s) open until you are ready
to dispense again.
If you suspect that the dispensing valve or hose is
completely clogged, or that pressure has not been fully
relieved after following the steps above, very slowly
loosen the hose end coupling and relieve pressure
gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear the valve
or hose.

Adjustments
Set the actuating air to at least 50 psi (3.5 bar) and
start the pump. Set the glass bead supply tank pressure between 30 psi and 75 psi for desired flow rate.
Note: Bead delivery will vary with each application.
Always test the system for actual delivery and adjust
air pressure or nozzle size as needed.

Application Data
See Road Lazer System Manual 308611.

Nozzle Size Selection
Use the Nozzle Size Selection and Bead Delivery
Tables to select the size of nozzle for the travel speed
and bead coverage to be used. These tables are
based on a 15 mil paint application.
1. Go to Bead Delivery (Lb/Min) Table and select:
a. Speed in MPH or KPH row.
b. Bead coverage in Pounds Per Gallon
column.
c.

Value at intersection of MPH row and Pounds
Per column is bead delivery in lb/min.

2. Go to Nozzle Size Selection Table and select:
a. Bead Delivery (lb/min) column determined by
Bead delivery (lb/min) value.
b. Psi value Glass Bead Tank psi row.
c.

Curve (1, 2, 3 or 4) at intersection of Glass
Bead Tank psi row and Bead Delivery (lb/min)
column is nozzle size value.

d. Select nozzle size that allows range of adjustment for more or less flow.

Maintenance
Clean Dispensing Valve and System Daily

Clean the outside surfaces of the valve by wiping with
a soft cloth dampened with a compatible solvent.

CAUTION
Be sure that the solvent you use is compatible with
the fluid being dispensed, to avoid clogging the
valve’s fluid passages.
An important part of the care and maintenance of your
automatic dispensing valve is proper flushing. Flush
the valve daily with a compatible solvent until all traces
of fluid are removed from the valve passages. Follow
the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5 before
flushing.

CAUTION
Never immerse the entire dispensing valve in
solvent. Immersing in solvent removes lubricants
and tends to damage packings.

To remove a hardened particle from the orifice, blow
air through the orifice from the front.

Service
Needle, Seat and Packings

10. Install seal nut (21).

To clean or replace the needle (18), its seat (17) or
packings (19 or 15), proceed as follows:

11. Install gun needle (18).

1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5

12. Install o-ring (19) on valve seat (2) and insert into
valve housing (4).

2. Remove retaining nut (3).
3. Remove valve housing (4).
4. Remove valve seat (2) and o-ring (19) from valve
housing (4). Remove o-ring.

13. Install retaining nut (3).

Air Piston, Spring and Seals

7. Remove o-ring (15).

Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5,
then remove the valve as explained, preceding. Remove the air cylinder cap (7), take out the spring (8)
and pull the piston (10) out. Clean and inspect all
parts. Check the piston o-rings (11, 12) carefully.
Lubricate all parts with a light waterproof grease and
reassemble the valve using new parts as necessary.

8. Clean all parts.

Repair Kit

9. Lubricate o-ring (15) with one drop of oil. Install
o-ring.
