Installation of Remote Pilot Air Lines, Mountings

Installation

Installation of Remote Pilot Air Lines

1.Refer to Parts Drawings. Connect air line to pump as in preceding steps.

2.Connect 1/4 in. O.D. tubing to push type connec- tors (14) on air motor of pump.

NOTE: by replacing the push type connectors, other sizes or types of fittings may be used. The new fittings will require 1/8 in. npt threads.

3.Connect remaining ends of tubes to external air signal, such as Graco’s Cycleflo (P/N 195264) or Cycleflo II (P/N195265) controllers.

Mountings

CAUTION

The pump exhaust air may contain contaminants. Ventilate to a remote area if the contaminants could affect your fluid supply. See Air Exhaust Ventilation on page 11.

DBe sure the mounting surface can support the weight of the pump, hoses, and accessories, as well as the stress caused during operation.

DFor all mountings, be sure the pump is bolted directly to the mounting surface.

DFor ease of operation and service, mount the pump so the air valve cover (2), air inlet, and fluid inlet and outlet ports are easily accessible.

DRubber Foot Mounting Kit 236452 is available to reduce noise and vibration during operation.

Fluid Suction Line

1.The pump fluid inlet (R) is a 2” raised face flange. Refer to Flange Connections on page 9.

2.If the fluid inlet pressure to the pump is more than 25% of the outlet working pressure, the ball check valves will not close fast enough, resulting in inefficient pump operation.

3.At inlet fluid pressures greater than 15 psi

(0.1 MPa, 1 bar), diaphragm life will be shortened.

4.See the Technical Data on page 34 for maximum suction lift (wet and dry).

Fluid Outlet Line

WARNING

A fluid drain valve (J) is required to relieve pres- sure in the hose if it is plugged. The drain valve reduces the risk of serious injury, including splash- ing in the eyes or on the skin, or contamination from hazardous fluids when relieving pressure. Install the valve close to the pump fluid outlet. See Fig. 2.

1.The pump fluid outlet (S) is a 2” raised face flange. Refer to Flange Connections on page 9.

2.Install a fluid drain valve (J) near the fluid outlet. See the WARNING above.

3.Install a shutoff valve (K) in the fluid outlet line.

This innovative system allows for quick and easy pump replacement without the need for additional tools or complex procedures. This feature ensures minimal downtime, making it especially valuable on job sites where time efficiency is crucial.

The sprayer is also equipped with a powerful electric motor that delivers a consistent pressure of up to 3000 PSI. This high pressure not only facilitates a fine atomization of paint but also enables users to work with a variety of coatings, including thicker materials like latex, stains, and sealers. As a result, users can achieve professional-grade finishes on a range of surfaces, from buildings to fences.

Another significant characteristic of the Graco 308550ZAC is its adjustable pressure control. This feature allows operators to fine-tune the pressure according to the specific paint being used and the project's requirements. This flexibility translates to improved control over the spraying process, minimizing overspray and ensuring precision, particularly when working on detailed areas.

Additionally, the unit comes with a built-in suction hose, which can be submerged directly into paint containers for efficient and seamless painting. This capability makes it easier to use large buckets, reducing the hassle of constantly refilling the sprayer and enhancing productivity.

The Graco 308550ZAC also features a lightweight and portable design, making it easier to transport between job sites. Its robust construction ensures durability, while the ergonomic handle offers comfort during extended use.

In summary, the Graco 308550ZAC is a robust airless paint sprayer that combines advanced technologies and thoughtful design features to meet the needs of both professionals and hobbyists. With its ProXChange system, adjustable pressure control, and high-performance motor, it represents an excellent choice for achieving flawless finishes in various painting applications.
