Installation

3A0149C 7

Air Line

1. Install an air filter (A) on the gun air line to ensure a

dry, clean air supply to the gun. Dirt and moisture

can ruin the appearance of your finished workpiece.

See FIG. 1.

2. Install an air pressure regulator (C) on the gun air

line to control air pressure to the gun.

3. Install an air shutoff valve (B) on the gun air line and

on the pump air line, to shut off air to the gun.

4. Use a 3/16 in. (5 mm) I.D. or larger air hose to mini-

mize excessive pressure drop in the hose.

NOTE: The gun air inlet has a 1/4-18 npsm (R1/4-19)

compound male thread that is compatible with NPSM

and BSP female swivel connectors.

5. Connect the air hose (G) to the 1/4 npsm gun air

inlet. See FIG. 2.

6. Connect the other end of the air hose (G) to the out-

let of the air shutoff valve. See FIG. 3.

Fluid Line

• Before connecting the fluid line, blow it out with air

and flush it with solvent. See Flushing and Clean-

ing, page 14. Use solvent which is compatible with

the fluid to be sprayed.

• If better control of fluid pressure is needed, install a

fluid regulator on the fluid line to better control fluid

pressure to the gun.

1. Use a fluid filter to remove coarse particles and sed-

iment, to avoid clogging the spray tip and causing

finishing defects.

NOTE: Guns are equipped with a built-in 100 mesh fluid

filter to provide final filtering just before spraying.

2. Connect the fluid hose (F) to the gun fluid inlet. See

FIG. 4. If desired, install a fluid swivel connector

(189018) at the gun inlet for best maneuverability.

See Accessories, page 35.

3. Connect the other end of the fluid hose (F) to the

pump fluid outlet.

Setup

Flush Before Using Equipment

1. The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which

is left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid

contaminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment

with a compatible solvent before using the equip-

ment. See Flushing and Cleaning, page 14.

2. Relieve the pressure. See Pressure Relief Proce-

dure, page 10.

Select a Spray Tip

The fluid flow and pattern width depend on the size of

the spray tip, the fluid viscosity, and the fluid pressure.

See Spray Tip Selection Chart, page 32. Contact your

Graco distributor for assistance in selecting an appropri-

ate spray tip for your application.

Air Cap Alignment Pin

Model G15 guns use an air cap alignment pin to position

the air cap. The standard location of the air cap align-

ment pin is the horizontal air cap position.

If you would like to change the spray pattern direction,

use a needle nose pliers to unscrew the pin and relocate

it to the desired position. See FIG. 5. When relocating

the pin use low-strength thread locker. Torque to 1.5-2.5

in-lb (0.2-0.3 N•m). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

The air cap alignment pin can be removed according to

preference. Air cap alignment pins will not work with

model G40 guns.

Install a Spray Tip

Install a spray tip in the air cap. Ensure that the tip locat-

ing tab is positioned in the slot of the air cap. See FIG. 5.

Position the Air Cap

Assemble the air cap to the gun. The air cap and spray

tip position determine the direction of the spray pattern.

Rotate the air cap (the spray tip rotates with it) as

needed to achieve the desired spray pattern direction.

See FIG. 6. For the G15 air cap, the alignment pin will

stop the rotation in the proper orientation.

Tighten the air cap retaining ring (6) firmly by hand to

ensure a good seal between the tip gasket and the dif-

fuser (5).

NOTICE

The alignment pin and retaining ring for current model

guns are different from the earlier model guns. They

are not interchangeable. Use of the incorrect pin will

result in fluid leakage or loss of the alignment feature.

Use of the wrong retaining ring will damage retaining

ring and gun threads. See Part Interchangeability

Guide, page 37.

Operation

10 3A0149C

Operation

Be sure to read and follow the Warnings on pages 4

and 5 and throughout the text of this instruction manual.

Keep the wallet sized warning card (222385), provided

with the gun, with the operator of this equipment at all

times. The card contains important treatment informa-

tion should a skin injection injury occur. Additional cards

are available at no charge from Graco.

Pressure Relief Procedure

To reduce the risk of an injury from injection, splashing

fluid, or moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Proce-

dure whenever you:

• are instructed to relieve the pressure,

• stop spraying,

• check or service any of the system equipment,

or install or clean the spray tip.

1. Engage the trigger lock. See FIG. 12.

2. Shut off the pump. See your pump manual.

3. Shut off the gun air supply.

4. Disengage the trigger lock. See FIG. 12.

5. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to a grounded

metal pail. Trigger the gun to relieve pressure. See

FIG. 11.

6. Open all fluid drain valves in the system, having a

waste container ready to catch drainage. Leave

drain valve(s) open until you are ready to spray

again.

7. Engage the trigger lock. See FIG. 12.

8. If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged or

that pressure has not been fully relieved after follow-

ing the steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen the tip

guard retaining ring or hose end coupling to relieve

pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Clear

hose or tip obstruction.

Trigger Lock

Always engage the trigger lock when you stop spraying

to prevent the gun from being triggered accidentally by

hand or if dropped or bumped.

Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpect-

edly, which could result in serious injury from splash-

ing or moving parts.

Operation

3A0149C 11

How the Air-Assisted Spray Gun

Operates

The air-assisted spray gun combines airless and air

spraying concepts. The spray tip shapes the fluid into a

fan pattern, as does a conventional airless spray tip. Air

from the air cap further atomizes the fluid and completes

the atomization of the paint tails into the pattern to pro-

duce a more uniform pattern. The width of the pattern

can be adjusted by the pattern adjustment valve.

The air-assisted spray gun differs from an air spray gun

in that increasing the pattern air reduces the pattern

width. To increase the pattern width, use less pattern air

or a larger size tip.

The spray gun has a built-in lead and lag operation.

When triggered, the gun begins emitting air before the

fluid is discharged. When the trigger is released, the

fluid stops before the air flow stops. This helps assure

the spray is atomized and prevents fluid buildup on the

air cap.

Spray Pattern Adjustment

1. Do not turn on the gun air supply yet. Set the fluid

pressure at a low starting pressure. If a fluid pres-

sure regulator is installed, use it to make adjust-

ments.

If your system does not have a fluid regulator, the

fluid pressure is controlled by the air regulator sup-

plying the pump, per the formula below:

2. Trigger the gun to check the atomization; do not be

concerned about the pattern shape yet.

3. Slowly increase the fluid pressure, just to the point

where a further increase in fluid pressure does not

significantly improve fluid atomization.

4. Close off the pattern adjustment air by turning the

knob clockwise (in) all the way. See FIG. 13. This

sets the gun for its widest pattern.

5. Set the atomizing air pressure at about 5 psi

(3.5 kPa, 0.35 bar) when triggered. Check the spray

pattern, then slowly increase the air pressure until

the tails are completely atomized and pulled into the

spray pattern. See FIG. 14. Seven to 10 psi (4.9 to

7.0 kPa, 0.49 to 0.7 bar) air pressure is typically

enough to atomize the tails, especially for low vis-

cosity materials. Setting the air pressure too high

will cause material to build up on the air cap and

decrease transfer efficiency. Do not exceed 100 psi

(0.7 MPa, 7 bar) air pressure to the gun.

For a narrower pattern, turn the pattern adjustment

valve knob counterclockwise (out). See FIG. 13. If

the pattern is still not narrow enough, increase the

air pressure to the gun slightly or use a different size

tip. (Not available for RAC tip guns.)

To reduce the risk of component rupture and serious

injury, including injection, do not exceed the gun’s maxi-

mum fluid working pressure or the maximum working

pressure of the lowest rated component in the system.

HVLP Operation

NOTE: For HVLP operation, the atomization air must not

exceed 10 psi. Use HVLP Verification Kit 24C788 to ver-

ify air psi.

NOTE: There is no fan adjustment when using RAC tips

and caps.

Fluid Application

Always hold the gun at a right angle from the surface.

Do not make an arc with the gun as it causes an uneven

coat of fluid. See FIG. 15.

1. To achieve the best results when applying fluid,

keep the gun perpendicular to the surface and main-

tain a consistent distance of approximately 8 to 12

in. (200 to 300 mm) from the object being sprayed.

2. To obtain an even finish, use smooth, even strokes

across the object being sprayed with 50% overlap.

3. Paint using parallel strokes. This spray gun applies

all coatings evenly without cross coating.

Troubleshooting

NOTE:

• Check all possible remedies in the troubleshooting

charts before disassembling the gun.

• Some improper patterns are caused by the

improper balance between air and fluid.

Problem Cause Solution

Fluid leakage from back of fluid

packing area.

Worn packings or needle shaft. Replace needle assembly (2).

Air leakage from gun. Air valve not seating properly. Clean or replace air valve (8).

Fluid leakage from front of gun. Needle ball worn or damaged. Replace needle assembly (2) and seat (5c).

Worn seat assembly. Replace the seat (5c) and gasket (5b, carbide

models only). The gasket must be replaced

whenever the seat assembly is removed.

Do not reverse the direction of the plastic seat

(5c, model 24C854 gun only) if it is worn. The

seat must be replaced it if is worn.

Fluid viscosity too low for proper

seal with carbide seat.

Install plastic seat (5c).

Fluid in air passages. Spray tip seal leaking. Tighten retaining ring (6) or replace spray tip

(33).

Leaking around seat housing. Replace the gasket (5b, carbide models only).

The gasket must be replaced whenever the

seat assembly is removed.

Fluid inlet fitting leaking. Replace the fluid tube gasket (22). The gas-

ket must be replaced whenever the fluid tube

connector is removed.

Slow fluid shut-off. Fluid buildup on fluid needle

components.

Remove and clean or replace the fluid needle

assembly (2).

No fluid output when triggered. Spray tip plugged. Clean spray tip. See page 14.

Fluid filter or fluid hose plugged. After tip removal (see above), very slowly

loosen the hose end coupling at the gun and

relieve pressure gradually. Then loosen com-

pletely to clear the obstruction. Clean or

replace filter (12).

Troubleshooting

3A0149C 19

Fluttering or spitting spray. Insufficient fluid supply. Adjust fluid regulator or fill fluid supply tank.

Air in paint supply line. Check, tighten pump siphon hose connec-

tions, bleed air from paint line.

Attempting to “feather” (partially

trigger the gun).

Cannot “feather” with an AA gun. Feather will

cause drastic reduction of pressure at the tip,

resulting in poor atomization and/or spitting.

Striping spray. Spray tip partially plugged. Clean or replace spray tip. See page 14.

Irregular pattern. Fluid build-up on spray tip, or

spray tip partially plugged.

Clean or replace spray tip. See page 14.

On defective side of pattern, air

horn holes are partially or totally

plugged.

Clean air horn holes with solvent and soft

brush. See page 14.

Pattern pushed to one side,

same side of air cap gets dirty.

Air horn holes partially or totally

plugged.

Clean air horn holes with solvent and soft

brush or toothpick. See page 14.

Material build up on air cap. Air pressure setting too high. Reduce inlet air pressure. Seven to 10 psi

(4.9 to 7.0 kPa, 0.49 to 0.7 bar) air pressure

when triggered is recommended.
