WARNING

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

•Do not operate the extension tube or roller frame or use parts not designed for this equipment.

•Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids contain- ing such solvents in pressurized aluminum equipment. Such use can cause serious chemical reaction and equip- ment rupture, and result in death, serious injury, and prop- erty damage.

WARNING

Refer to your sprayer and spray gun manuals for appropriate warnings and instructions for safe operation of this roller frame.

Gasket (12) must be in place before installing frame (1). If gasket is not in place, there is a potential injection hazard which could result in serious injury.

1.Follow Pressure Relief Procedure on page 1.

2.Prime pump.

3.Install roller frame.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Improper grounding, flammable fumes, such as sol- vent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or

explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:

•Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flam- mable fumes from flushing fluids or the coating being applied.

•Keep the application area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

High-pressure fluid from hose leaks, or ruptured com- ponents will pierce skin. This may look like just a cut,

but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get

immediate surgical treatment.

•Keep your hands and body away from the roller frame when flushing. High pressure fluid emitted from the holes in the frame could cause an injection injury.

•Always relieve pressure before you check or repair leaks and when you turn off the pump or stop painting.

•Never use components rated less than system Maximum Working Pressure.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Failure to observe the electrical hazards described below could result in serious injury, including burns or

electrocution. To help prevent harmful electrical shock:

•Avoid contact with power lines.

•Follow all grounding instructions in your separate pump and gun instruction manual, and comply with all local, state, and national fire, electrical, and safety regulations.

•Use only Graco paint hoses.

Cleaning

This is the procedure for flushing the pressure roller. The pump and gun you are using may have additional flushing steps, such as cleaning filters and screens. See the pump and gun flushing instructions.

NOTE: Leave the pressure roller attached to the gun for this procedure.

See Pressure Relief Procedure on page 1.

1.Relieve the pressure.

2.Remove roller cover and diffuser (3) from roller frame (1) as follows (see Parts Drawing).

a.Use your thumb to press down on clip (5) to release end caps (2 and 4), diffuser (3), and roller cover into a pail.

c.Pull end caps (2 and 4) off diffuser (3).

3.Clean roller cover, caps (2 and 4) and diffuser (3) with water or a compatible fluid for oil-based materials.

4.Place roller frame (1) in paint pail. Be sure the holes in roller frame (1) are facing inside the paint pail.

5.Prim pump with water or flushing fluid for oil-based materi- als. Use the lowest pump priming pressure setting.

6.Turn prime/spray valve to SPRAY.

NOTE: Perform step 7 at the lowest pressure possible.

7.Trigger gun until flushing fluid begins to dilute the paint.

8.Place roller frame (1) in another bucket and continue flushing until fluid coming out of the roller frame (1) is clear.

9.Shut off the pump. Turn prime/spray valve to PRIME.
