NOTE: Always use Genuine Graco Parts and Acces-
sories, available from your Graco distributor. Refer to
the Product Data Sheet for your pump, Form No.
305791. If you supply your own accessories, be sure
they are adequately sized and pressure rated for your
system.

2. Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
hoses.
NOTE: Fig. 2 is only a guide for selecting and installing
system components and accessories. Contact your
Graco distributor for assistance in designing a system
to suit your particular needs.
3. Heaters, if used: refer to Viscon HP Heater manu-
al, 309524.
4. Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommen-
dations.
Grounding
5. Spray gun: ground through connection to a prop-
erly grounded fluid hose and pump.
WARNING
6. Fluid supply container: follow your local code.
7. Object being sprayed: follow your local code.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Before operating the pump, ground the
system as explained below. Also read
the section FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZ-
ARD on page 4.
8. Solvent pails used when flushing: follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the
pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continu-
ity.
1. Pump: use a ground wire and clamp (supplied).
See Fig. 1. Loosen the grounding lug locknut (W)
and washer (X). Insert one end of a 1.5 mm@ (12
ga) minimum ground wire (45) into the slot in lug
(Z) and tighten the locknut securely. Connect the
other end of the wire to a true earth ground.
9. To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the spray
gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail,
then trigger the gun.

Installation
Supplied Components
System Accessories
Refer to Fig. 2 for a typical installation of an airless
system.
Air and Fluid Hoses
Be sure all air hoses (A) and fluid hoses (G) are prop-
erly sized and pressure-rated for your system. Use
only electrically conductive hoses.
WARNING
A red-handled bleed-type master air valve (14) and
a fluid drain valve (7) are supplied in your system.
These accessories help reduce the risk of serious
injury, including fluid injection and splashing of fluid
in the eyes or on the skin, and injury from moving
parts if you are adjusting or repairing the pump.
1. Connect one end of the fluid line (G) to the filter
outlet swivel. Connect a fluid hose to each gun (H).
Install a fluid shutoff valve (J) at each gun drop.
Do not install the spray tip in the gun yet.
The red-handled bleed-type master air valve re-
lieves air trapped between this valve and the pump
after the air is shut off. Trapped air can cause the
pump to cycle unexpectedly. Locate the valve close
to the pump.
2. Close the red-handled bleed valve (14) and air
regulator (8). Connect the air hose (A) to the
swivel inlet of the air manifold (15).
The fluid drain valve assists in relieving fluid pres-
sure in the displacement pump, hose, and gun.
Triggering the gun to relieve pressure may not be
sufficient.
Air Line Accessories
D The red-handled bleed-type master air valve
(14) is required in your system to relieve air trapped
between it and the air motor when the valve is
closed (see the WARNING above). Be sure the
bleed valve is easily accessible from the pump, and
is located downstream from the air regulator.
1. Install an air line filter (B) in the main air line, to
remove harmful dirt and moisture from the com-
pressed air supply.
D The air regulator (8) controls pump speed and
outlet pressure by adjusting the air pressure to the
pump. Locate the regulator close to the pump, but
upstream from the red-handled bleed-type master
air valve (14).
2. Install a second bleed valve (C) in the main air
line, to isolate the accessories for servicing.
3. Install a drain valve (D) at the bottom of each air
D The air manifold (15) has a swivel air inlet. It
mounts to the cart, and provides ports for connect-
ing lines to air-powered accessories.
line drop, to drain off moisture.
D The fluid filter (4) includes a 60 mesh (250 mi-
cron) stainless steel element to filter particles from
the fluid as it leaves the pump.
4. To provide automatic lubrication of the air motor,
install an air line lubricator (E) downstream from
the red-handled bleed-type master air valve (14).
D The fluid drain valve (7) is required in your sys-
tem to relieve fluid pressure in the hose and gun
(see the WARNING above).
5. Install a pump runaway valve (F). The runaway
valve will automatically shut off the air to the pump
if the pump starts running too fast. A pump that
runs too fast can be seriously damaged.
D The suction hose (24) and tube (25) allow the
pump to draw fluid from a 200 liter (55 gallon)
drum.

Operation/Maintenance
Pressure Relief Procedure
Packing Nut/Wet-Cup
Before starting, fill the packing nut (U) 1/3 full with
Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL) or compatible solvent.
See Fig. 7.
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually
relieved to prevent the system from
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure at left.
starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid
under high pressure can be injected through the
skin and cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of
an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving
parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
whenever you:
The packing nut is torqued at the factory and is ready
for operation. If it becomes loose and there is leaking
from the throat packings, relieve pressure, then tighten
the nut as specified in your separate pump manual. Do
this whenever necessary. Do not overtighten the
packing nut.
D are instructed to relieve the pressure,
D stop spraying,
D check or service any of the system equipment,
D or install or clean the spray tips.
1. Lock the gun trigger safety.
Flush the Pump Before First Use
2. Shut off the air supply to the pump.
Pumps are tested with lightweight oil which is left in to
protect the pump parts. To prevent contamination of
the fluid, flush the pump with a compatible solvent
before using it.
3. Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in
your system).
4. Unlock the gun trigger safety.
5. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun to relieve
pressure.
6. Lock the gun trigger safety.
7. Open the drain valve (required in your system),
having a container ready to catch the drainage.
8. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to
spray again.
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely
clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved
after following the steps above, very slowly loosen the
tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling and relieve
pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear
the tip or hose.

Operation/Maintenance
9. Use the air regulator to control the pump speed
Starting and Adjusting the Pump
and fluid pressure. Always use the lowest pressure
necessary to achieve the desired results. Higher
pressures waste fluid and cause premature wear
of the pump packings and spray tip.
1. Be sure the air regulator and bleed-type master air
valve are closed.
NOTE: Do not install the spray tip yet!
2. Open the bleed-type master air valve.
CAUTION
3. Hold a metal part of the spray gun firmly to the
side of a grounded metal pail and trigger the gun.
Do not allow the pump to run dry. It will quickly
accelerate to a high speed, causing damage. If your
pump is running too fast, stop it immediately and
check the fluid supply. If the container is empty and
air has been pumped into the lines, refill the con-
tainer and prime the pump and the lines, or flush and
leave it filled with a compatible solvent. Eliminate all
air from the fluid system.
4. Slowly open the air regulator until the pump starts.
5. Allow the pump to cycle slowly until all the air is
pushed out of the fluid lines.
6. Release the gun trigger and lock the trigger safety;
the pump will stall against the pressure.
Heated Circulating Systems
7. With the pump and lines primed, and with ade-
quate air pressure and volume supplied, the pump
will start and stop as the spray gun is triggered and
released.
Operating instructions for a heated circulating system
are provided in the Viscon HP Heater manual,
309524. Read and understand all warnings and in-
structions in the heater manual before operating a
heated system.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 14.
1. The three-way ball valve (40) selects either fluid
circulation or draining. To circulate fluid back to the
pump, turn the handle toward the CIRC end of the
valve.
8. Relieve the pressure, then install the spray tip in
the gun.
2. To drain the fluid, turn the handle toward the
DRAIN end.

Operation/Maintenance
Shutdown and Care of the Pump
CAUTION
Never leave water or water-base fluid in the pump
overnight. If you are pumping water-base fluid, flush
with water first, then with a rust inhibitor such as
mineral spirits. Relieve the pressure, but leave the
rust inhibitor in the pump to protect the parts from
corrosion.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 14.
For overnight shutdown, stop the pump at the bottom
of its stroke to prevent fluid from drying on the ex-
posed displacement rod and damaging the throat
packings. Relieve the pressure.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 14.
Always flush the pump before the fluid dries on the
displacement rod. See Flushing below.
Flushing
1. Relieve the pressure.
WARNING
2. Remove the spray tip from the gun.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Before flushing, read the section FIRE
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD on page 4.
Be sure the entire system and flushing
pails are properly grounded. Refer to
Grounding on page 5.
3. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail.
4. Start the pump. Always use the lowest possible
fluid pressure when flushing.
5. Trigger the gun.
Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid you
are pumping and with the wetted parts in your system.
Check with your fluid manufacturer or supplier for
recommended flushing fluids and flushing frequency.
Always flush the pump before fluid dries on the dis-
placement rod.
6. Flush the system until clear solvent flows from the
gun.
7. Relieve the pressure.

Graco Standard Warranty
Graco warrants all equipment manufactured by Graco and bearing its name to be free from defects in material and workmanship on the
date of sale to the original purchaser for use. With the exception of any special, extended, or limited warranty published by Graco,
Graco will, for a period of twelve months from the date of sale, repair or replace any part of the equipment determined by Graco to be
defective. This warranty applies only when the equipment is installed, operated and maintained in accordance with Graco’s written
recommendations.
This warranty does not cover, and Graco shall not be liable for general wear and tear, or any malfunction, damage or wear caused by
faulty installation, misapplication, abrasion, corrosion, inadequate or improper maintenance, negligence, accident, tampering, or sub-
stitution of non–Graco component parts. Nor shall Graco be liable for malfunction, damage or wear caused by the incompatibility of
Graco equipment with structures, accessories, equipment or materials not supplied by Graco, or the improper design, manufacture,
installation, operation or maintenance of structures, accessories, equipment or materials not supplied by Graco.
This warranty is conditioned upon the prepaid return of the equipment claimed to be defective to an authorized Graco distributor for
verification of the claimed defect. If the claimed defect is verified, Graco will repair or replace free of charge any defective parts. The
equipment will be returned to the original purchaser transportation prepaid. If inspection of the equipment does not disclose any defect
in material or workmanship, repairs will be made at a reasonable charge, which charges may include the costs of parts, labor, and
transportation.
THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE, AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Graco’s sole obligation and buyer’s sole remedy for any breach of warranty shall be as set forth above. The buyer agrees that no other
remedy (including, but not limited to, incidental or consequential damages for lost profits, lost sales, injury to person or property, or any
other incidental or consequential loss) shall be available. Any action for breach of warranty must be brought within two (2) years of the
date of sale.
Graco makes no warranty, and disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose in connection
with accessories, equipment, materials or components sold but not manufactured by Graco. These items sold, but not manufactured
by Graco (such as electric motors, switches, hose, etc.), are subject to the warranty, if any, of their manufacturer. Graco will provide
purchaser with reasonable assistance in making any claim for breach of these warranties.
In no event will Graco be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from Graco supplying equipment
hereunder, or the furnishing, performance, or use of any products or other goods sold hereto, whether due to a breach of contract,
breach of warranty, the negligence of Graco, or otherwise.
