Warnings
WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the
eyes or on skin and cause serious injury.
• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and
before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immedi-
ately.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on
skin, inhaled, or swallowed.
• Read MSDS’s to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
• Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to appli-
cable guidelines.
• Always wear impervious gloves when spraying or cleaning equipment.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents or fluids containing such solvents in pressurized aluminum equipment. Such
use can cause serious chemical reaction and equipment rupture, and result in death,
serious injury, and property damage.
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. This equipment includes
but is not limited to:
• Protective eyewear
• Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer
• Gloves
• Hearing protection

Description
Description
The Model 288776 2-quart (1.9-liter) pressure
cup is designed to be used with any pressure
feed manual spray gun when more than 1
quart of fluid will be used. Pressure cups pro-
vide a better degree of control over atomizing
air and fluid pressure than siphon feed equip-
ment. The Model 288776 enables you to spray
a wider range of refinish materials and has a
full 2-quart (1.9 liter) capacity when needed.
The regulator assembly controls pressure of
fluid in the cup from 0-50 psi (0.35 MPa, 3.5
bar). The manual pressure relief valve allows
air pressure to bleed from cup.
Never tamper with the automatic pressure
relief valve (6b). The automatic relief valve
limits the maximum air pressure entering the
cup. If the relief valve does not work properly,
over-pressurization may occur and cause the
cup to rupture or explode. Air pressure in the
cup must never exceed 50 psi (0.35 MPa, 3.5
bar).
Set-Up
2. Connect fluid hose to fluid inlet of gun and
to cup fluid outlet as shown.
Always disconnect cup assembly from air sup-
ply and relieve pressure in cup (open manual
relief valve counter-clockwise) before installing
or removing canister from lid assembly.
3. Connect handle to top of cup as shown.
4. It is best for the air supply line to pass
through a Graco Air Control Unit to filter
dirt from the air and extract water and oil.
Connect the air supply hose to the air inlet
fitting on cup regulator.
1. Connect air hose to air inlet of gun and to
air outlet on cup regulator as shown.
Note: Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the mixing and preparation of material. Strain
material using a fine mesh screen to prevent the entry of foreign matter and the clogging of fluid
passageways.

Operation
Operation
7. To decrease paint flow, pull out regulator
knob and turn counter-clockwise to lower
cup pressure. Open the relief valve to
bleed off excess pressure. Reseal relief
check valve that prevents the cup from
losing pressure until the relief valve is
opened.
Always disconnect cup assembly from air sup-
ply and relieve pressure in cup (open manual
pressure relief valve counter-clockwise) before
installing or removing canister from lid assem-
bly.
8. Atomizing air for the spray gun can be
adjusted at the gun by means of an air
adjusting valve on the spray gun.
1. Pull out regulator knob and turn fully
counter-clockwise. Open manual pres-
sure relief valve on cup lid (counter-clock-
wise).
Note: To achieve desired cup pressure you
must always start at a lower pressure and
adjust up to the desired setting.
2. Open lid and fill cup with desired spray-
able material.
3. Close lid and seal by turning clockwise
hand-tight.

6. Slowly turn the cup regulator knob clock-

back. Continue clockwise until desired
flow is achieved. Push in regulator knob to

appears. Cup and gun material passages
should be clean now.
1) and empty remaining solvent from cup
and wipe clean with a solvent soaked
cloth.
Paint can erupt from the cup due to rapid
depressurization. Never open the cup prior to
turning cup pressure regulator knob to the full
“off” position (counter-clockwise) and reliev-
ing cup pressure by opening (counter-clock-
wise) manual pressure relief valve.
CAUTION
Never clean your Model 288776 in a gun
washer. The automatic pressure relief valve,
regulator body, and gauge will be damaged
by use in a gun washer. The canister only
can be cleaned in a gun washer.
1. After relieving cup pressure and turning
cup pressure regulator to the full “off”
position (counter-clockwise), open cup lid
by turning counter-clockwise.
2. Pour out any remaining material and add
a compatible solvent.
