Graco PT2500 owner manual Setup, Install a spray tip and RAC IV tip guard on

Setup

1.Prepare the paint according to the manufactur- er's recommendations.

This is probably the most important step

toward trouble-free spraying!

Remove any skin that may have formed on the top of the paint. If necessary, thin the paint. Finally, strain the paint through a fine nylon mesh bag (available at most paint dealers) to remove par- ticles that could clog the spray tip.

2.	Install a spray tip and RAC IV tip guard on the
	spray gun as instructed in manual 307±848.
3.	Connect the hose and gun. Connect the other end
	of the hose to the sprayer.
4.	Check the hydraulic oil level. Unscrew the fill cap
	(5). The oil should be 1 inch (25 mm) from the top of
	the plate. If the oil is low, fill as necessary with light-
	weight hydraulic oil; use only Graco Hydraulic Oil,
	Part No. 218±797. Install the fill cap. See Fig. 1.

6.Plug in the sprayer. First be sure the ON/OFF switch (11) is OFF and the pressure control (4) is turned fully counterclockwise. Plug the sprayer into a grounded outlet that is at least 20 foot (6 m) away from the spray area to reduce the chance of a spark igniting spray vapors or dust particles.

60 HzAc, 15 Amp (minimum). Be sure the electrical

outlet is properly grounded.

You can use up to 100 foot (30 m) of 3 wire, 14

gauge (minimum) extension cord. Longer exten-

sion cords may affect the sprayer performance.

Use more spray hose, not longer extension cords.
