Setup, Ground the Gun, Flush Before Using Equipment

Setup

• Check that your shop air provides adequate air flow. See Technical Data, page 20, for minimum cfm requirements.

•Recommended 5/16 in. (7.9 mm) ID hose, optional 3/8 in. (10 mm) ID air hose.

•Set shop air pressure regulator (not supplied) according to paint manu- facturer’s recommendation. See maximum compliant air pressure on air cap.

•Make sure no air restrictions, such as low-volume cheater-valves, obstruct the air flow. If an air adjusting valve is desired, use a Graco adjustable air valve (234784).

1.Shut off the air supply.

2.Install a shutoff valve (not supplied) down- stream of the air regulator to shut off gun air.

3.Install an inline air filter (not supplied) to clean and dry the gun air supply.

4.Connect a clean, dry, filtered air supply to the air inlet fitting. See FIG. 1.
