General Information

Components

NOTE: Reference numbers and letters in parentheses
in the text refer to the callouts in the figures.

See FIG. 1.

NOTE: 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.

•

The red-handled bleed-type master air valve (C) is
required in your system to relieve air trapped
between it and the air motor when the valve is
closed. Do not block access to the valve.

FIG. 1 is only a guide for selecting and installing system
components and accessories.

Prepare the Operator
All persons who operate the equipment must be trained
in the operation of all system components as well as the
proper handling of all fluids. All operators must thoroughly read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels
before operating the equipment.

Prepare the Site
Ensure that you have an adequate compressed air
supply.
Bring a compressed air supply line from the air compressor to the pump location. Be sure all air hoses are
properly sized and pressure-rated for your system. Use
only electrically conductive hoses. The air hose should
have a 3/8 npt(m) thread. For best performance, use 1/2
in. air line or larger.
Keep the site clear of any obstacles or debris that could
interfere with the operator's movement.

Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle
unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury
from splashing or moving parts.
•

The pump air regulator (E) controls pump speed
and outlet pressure by adjusting the air pressure to
the pump.

•

The air relief valve (not shown) opens automatically
to prevent overpressurization of the pump.

•

The airless spray gun (H) dispenses the fluid. The
gun houses the spray tip (not shown), which is available in a wide range of sizes for different spray patterns and rates of flow. Refer to gun manual for tip
installation.

•

The hose (J) provides the gun fluid supply.

•

The suction hose (R) with strainer allows the pump
to draw fluid from a 5 gallon (19 liter) pail.

•

A optional fluid filter with a 60 mesh (250 micron)
stainless steel element filters particles from fluid as
it leaves the pump.

•

A fluid drain valve (G) relieves fluid pressure in the
hose and gun.

Have a grounded, metal pail available for use when
flushing the system.

Air Lines Accessories
Install the following accessories in the order shown in
FIG. 1, using adapters as necessary.

332245E

•

An air-line filter (B) removes harmful dirt and moisture from the compressed air supply.

•

Installation

Grounding

Setup
1. If it is necessary to filter the material at the pump
fluid outlet, install optional Fluid Outlet Filter Kit
16V583. See Accessories, page 25, for parts.

The equipment and flush pail must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking. Static sparking can
cause fumes to ignite or explode. Grounding provides
an escape wire for the electric current.

a. Use a wrench to hold the pump fluid outlet fitting
in place and a second wrench on the drain valve
tee fitting. Remove drain valve tee fitting (G).

1. Pump: See FIG. 2. Verify that the ground screw
(MS) is attached and tightened securely to the air
motor. Connect the other end of the ground wire (M)
to a true earth ground.

b. Place fluid filter (401) in a vise. Apply thread
sealant on threads and install fittings as shown.
