Installation
The Typical Floor Mount Installation, page 12, is only a guide for selecting and installing system components. Contact your Graco distributor for assistance in planning a system to suit your needs.
Tighten Fasteners Before Setup
Before using the pump for the first time, check and retorque all external fasteners. Follow Torque Instructions, page 16. After the first day of operation, retorque the fasteners.
Mounting
•The pump exhaust air may contain contaminants. Ventilate to a remote area. See Air Exhaust Ventilation, page 10.
•Never move or lift a pump under pressure. If dropped, the fluid section may rupture. Always follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 13, before moving or lifting the pump.
1.Be sure the mounting surface can support the weight of the pump, hoses, and accessories, as well as the stress caused during operation.
2.For all mountings, be sure the pump is bolted directly to the mounting surface. Mount the pump horizontally, with the feet at the bottom of the pump. Do not mount the pump on a vertical surface, such as a wall.
3.For ease of operation and service, mount the pump so air valve, air inlet, fluid inlet and fluid outlet ports are easily accessible.
Grounding
The equipment 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.
•Pump: Loosen the grounding screw (GS). Insert one end of a 12 ga. minimum ground wire (R) behind the grounding screw and tighten the screw securely. Connect the clamp end of the ground wire to a true earth ground. A ground wire and clamp, Part 238909, is available from Graco.
