WARNING

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

SetupOperation

• Check that your shop air provides adequate air flow.

•Use a minimum 3/8 in. (10 mm) ID air hose.

•Set shop air pressure regulator (not supplied) according to paint manu- facturer’s recommendation. See maximum pressures and compliant air pressures on page 2.

•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 Air Adjusting Valve (288744 or 234387).

•Install a shutoff valve (not supplied) downstream of the air regulator to shut off gun air.

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

1.Shut off the air supply.

2.Connect a clean, dry, filtered air supply to the air inlet fitting (25). See page 10.

3.If this is the first time using the equipment, flush the gun. See page 5.

Pressure Relief Procedure

1.Turn off the gun air supply.

2.Trigger the gun to relieve pressure.

Spraying

CAUTION

Excessive atomizing air pressure can increase over-spray, reduce transfer efficiency, and result in a poor quality finish. Regulatory agencies in certain states prohibit the operation of a spray gun above 10 psi (69 kPa, 0.7 bar) atomizing air cap pressure.

1.Fill the cup with material. Do not fill past the shoulder on cup.

2.Turn on the shop air to the gun and set atomizing pressure with the gun fully triggered.

3.Adjust the pattern size and shape with the fluid adjust knob (8). Fluid adjust knob (8) is factory set for maximum needle trigger travel and material flow. Turn knob clockwise to reduce pattern size/ fluid flow and counterclockwise to increase it.

See Troubleshooting, page 7, if you expe-

rience an irregular pattern.
