WARNING
If you supply your own hoses and spray gun, be
sure the hoses are electrically conductive, that the
gun has a tip guard, and that each part is rated for
at least 3000 psi (210 bar, 21 MPa) Working Pressure. This is to reduce the risk of serious injury
caused by static sparking, fluid injection or overpressurization and rupture of the hose or gun.
3. Plug in the sprayer. Be sure the ON/OFF switch
(52) is OFF. Plug the cord into a grounded outlet at
least 20 feet away from the spray area.
WARNING
CAUTION
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Proper electrical grounding is essential
to reduce the risk of fire or explosion
which can result in serious injury and
property damage. Also read FIRE OR
EXPLOSION HAZARD on page 2
To avoid damaging the pressure control, which may
result in poor equipment performance and component damage, follow these precautions:
1. Always use a nylon spray hose at least 50 ft. (15
m) long.
4. Flush the pump to remove the lightweight oil
which was left in to protect pump parts after factory testing. See page 12.
2. Never use a wire braid hose as it is too rigid to
act as a pulsation dampener.
3. Never install any shutoff device between the filter
and the hose. See Fig. 2.
5. Prepare the paint according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Remove any paint skin. Strain
the paint through a fine nylon mesh bag (available
at most paint dealers) to remove particles that
could clog the spray tip. This is an important step
toward trouble-free paint spraying.
1. Connect the hose (74) and gun (67) and screw it
onto the outlet nipple (28). Don’t use thread
sealant, and don’t install the spray tip yet!

Graco Warranty
Graco warrants all equipment listed in this manual which is manufactured by Graco and bearing its name to be free from defects in
material and workmanship on the date of sale by an authorized Graco distributor 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
substitution 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 or 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.
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.

A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IN CONNECTION WITH ACCESSORIES, EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS OR COMPONENTS SOLD BUT

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.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
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.
