WARNINGS

HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS.

Read and understand all instruction manuals before operating the equipment.

FLUID INJECTION HAZARD

General

Safety

This

equipment generates very high fluid pressure. Spray from

the

gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid through

your skin and into your body

, and cause extremely serious

bodily injury

, including the need for amputation. Also, fluid in

jected or splashed into the eyes or on the skin can cause seri

ous damage.

NEVER point the spray gun at any one or at any part of the

body

. NEVER put your hand or fingers over the spray tip.

NEVER try to “blow back” paint; this is NOT an air spray sys-

tem.

ALWA

YS have the tip guard in place on the spray gun when

spraying.

ALWA

YS follow the

PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE

, be

low

, before cleaning or removing the spray tip or servicing any

system equipment.

NEVER try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body

Be sure equipment safety devices are operating properly be

fore each use.

Medical

Alert––Airless Spray W

ounds

any fluid appears to penetrate your skin, get

EMERGENCY

MEDICAL CARE AT ONCE. DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE

CUT

. T

ell the doctor exactly what fluid was injected.

Note

to Physician

Injection in the skin is a traumatic injury

. It

is important to treat the injury surgically as soon as possible.

Do not delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a

concern with some exotic coatings injected directly into the

blood

stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or reconstru

ctive

hand surgeon may be advisable

Spray

Gun Safety Devices

sure all gun safety devices are operating properly before

each use. Do not remove or modify any part of the gun; this

can cause a malfunction and result in serious bodily injury

Safety

Latch

Whenever

you stop spraying, even for a moment, always set

the gun safety latch in the closed or “safe” position, making

the gun inoperative. Failure to set the safety latch can result in

accidental triggering of the gun.

Diffuser

The gun dif

fuser breaks up spray and reduces the risk of fluid

injection when the tip is not installed. Check dif

fuser operation

regularly

. Follow the

PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE

, be

low

, then remove the spray tip. Aim the gun into a metal pail,

holding the gun firmly to the pail. Using the lowest possible

pressure,

trigger the gun. If the fluid

emitted

is not

dif

fused into

irregular stream, replace the dif

fuser immediately

Tip

Guard

ALWAYS

have the tip guard in place on the spray gun while

spraying. The tip guard alerts you to the fluid injection hazard

and helps reduce, but does not prevent, the risk of acciden

tally placing your fingers or any part of your body close to the

spray tip.

Trigger

Guard

Always

have the trigger guard in place on the gun when

spraying to reduce the risk of accidentally triggering the gun if

it is dropped or bumped.

Spray T

ip Safety

Use

extreme caution when cleaning or changing spray tips. If

the spray tip clogs while spraying, engage the gun safety latch

immediately

. AL

YS follow the

PRESSURE RELIEF PRO-

CEDURE,

below, and then remove the spray tip to clean it.

NEVER wipe of

f build–up around the spray tip until the pres

sure is fully relieves and the gun safety is engaged.

PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE

reduce the risk of serious bodily injury

, including fluid injec

tion, splashing fluid or solvent in the eyes or on the skin, or

injury from moving parts or electric shock, always follow this

procedure whenever you shut of

f the sprayer

, when checking

or servicing any part of the spray system, when installing,

cleaning or changing spray tips, and whenever you stop

spraying.

MOVING

ARTS HAZARD

Moving

parts can pinch or amputate

your fingers or other body

parts. KEEP CLEAR of moving parts when starting or operat

ing the sprayer

. Follow the

Pressure Relief Procedure

page 2 before checking or servicing any part of the sprayer

, to

prevent it from starting accidentally

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

General

Safety

Any

misuse of the spray equipment or accessories, such as

overpressurizing, modifying parts, using incompatible chemi

cals and fluids, or using worn or damaged parts, can cause

them to rupture and result in fluid injection, splashing in the

eyes or on the skin, or other serious bodily injury

, or fire, ex

plosion or property damage.

NEVER alter or modify any part of this equipment; doing so

could cause it to malfunction.

CHECK all spray equipment regularly and repair or replace

worn or damaged parts immediately

Always wear protective eyewear

, gloves, clothing and respira

tor as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer

System

Pressure

This

sprayer can develop

2500

psi (175 bar)

MAXIMUM

WORKING PRESSURE.

Be sure all spray equipment and

accessories used are rated to withstand the this pressure. DO

NOT exceed the maximum working pressure of any compo

nent or accessory used in the system.

Fluid and Solvent Compatibility

All

chemicals used in the sprayer must be chemically

compatible

with

the wetted parts shown in the

TECHNICAL DA

page

31.

Consult your chemical supplier to ensure compatibility

Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other

halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such

solvents in this equipment, which contains aluminum and/or

zinc parts. Such use could result in a serious chemical reac

tion,

with the possibility of

explosion, which could cause death,

serious

bodily injury and/or substantial property

damage.

HOSE SAFETY

High

pressure fluid in the hoses can be very dangerous. If the

hose develops a leak, split or rupture due to any kind of wear

damage or misuse, the high pressure spray emitted from it

can cause a fluid injection injury or other serious bodily injury

or property damage.

ALL FLUID HOSES MUST HAVE STRAIN RELIEFS ON

BOTH ENDS!

The strain reliefs help protect the hose from

kinks or bends at or close to the coupling which can result in

hose rupture.

TIGHTEN all fluid connections securely before each use. High

pressure fluid can dislodge a loose coupling or allow high

pressure spray to be emitted from the coupling.

NEVER use a damaged hose. Before each use, check the

entire hose for cuts, leaks,

abrasion, bulging cover

, or damage

or movement of the hose couplings. If any of these conditions

exist, replace the hose immediately

. DO NOT try to recouple

high pressure hose or mend it with tape or any other device. A

repaired hose cannot contain the high pressure fluid.

HANDLE AND ROUTE HOSES CAREFULLY

. Do not pull on

hoses to move equipment. Keep hoses clear of moving parts

and hot surfaces of the pump and gas engine. Do not use

fluids or solvents which are not compatible with the inner tube

and cover of the hose. DO NOT expose Graco hoses to tem

peratures above 180

F (82

C) or below –40

F (–40

_ C).

Hose Grounding Continuity

Proper

hose grounding continuity is essential to maintaining a

grounded spray system. Check the electrical resistance of

your fluid hoses at least once a week. If your hose does not

have a tag on it which specifies the maximum electrical resis

tance, contact the hose supplier or manufacturer for the maxi

mum resistance limits. Use a resistance meter in the appropri

ate range for your hose to check the resistance. If the

resistance exceeds the recommended limits, replace it imme

diately

. An ungrounded or poorly grounded hose can make

your system hazardous. Also read FIRE OR EXPLOSION

HAZARD, below.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Static

electricity is created by the flow of fluid through the

pump and hose. If every part of the spray equipment is not

properly grounded, sparking may occur

, and the system may

become hazardous. Sparking may also occur when plugging

in or unplugging a power supply cord or using a gasoline en

gine. Sparks can ignite fumes from solvents and the fluid be

ing sprayed, dust particles and other flammable substances,

whether you are spraying indoors or outdoors, and can cause

a fire or explosion and serious bodily injury and property dam

age. Always plug the sprayer into an outlet at least 20 feet (6

m) away from the sprayer and the spray area. Do not plug in

or unplug any power supply cords in the spray area when

there is any chance of igniting fumes still in the air

If you experience any static sparking or even a slight shock

while using this equipment,

STOP SPRA

YING IMMEDIA

TELY.

Check the entire system for proper grounding. Do not use the

system again until the problem has been identified and cor

rected.

Grounding

o reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the sprayer and

all other spray equipment used or located in the spray area.

CHECK your local electrical code for detailed grounding in

structions for your area and type of equipment. BE SURE to

ground all of this spray equipment:

Sprayer:

plug the power supply cord, or extension cord – each

equipped

with an undamaged, three–prong plug,

into a prop

erly grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter. All extension

cords

must have three wires and be rated for 15 Amps.

Fluid

hoses:

use only grounded hoses with a maximum



f 500

ft (150 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continu

ity.

See

Hose Grounding Continuity above.

Spray

gun:

obtain grounding through connection

to a properly

grounded

fluid hose and sprayer

Object being sprayed:

according to local code.

Fluid supply container:

according to local code.

All

solvent pails used when flushing,

according to local code.

Use

only metal pails,

which are conductive. Do not place the

pail on a non–conductive surface, such as paper or card-

board,

which interrupts the grounding continuity

To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving

pressure

always hold a metal part

of the gun firmly to the side

a grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun.

Flushing

Safety

Reduce

the risk of fluid injection injury

, static sparking, or

splashing by following the flushing procedure given on page

12 of this manual. Follow the

PRESSURE RELIEF PROCE-

DURE

on page 2, and remove the spray tip before flushing.

Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a grounded

metal pail and use the lowest possible fluid pressure during

flushing.

Aparatos

de seguridad de la pistola pulverizadora

Asegurar

que todos los aparatos protectores de la pistola

están funcionando bien antes de cada uso. No sacar ni

modificar ninguna pieza de la pistola pues podría causar el

malfuncionamiento de la misma con las consiguientes

lesiones personales.

Pestillo

de seguridad

Cada

vez que se deje de pulverizar

, aunque sea por un breve

momento, siempre colocar el pestillo de seguridad en la

posición “cerrada”, lo que deja la pistola inoperante. El no

hacerlo puede llevar al disparo imprevisto de la pistola.

Difusor

El difusor de la pistola dispersa el chorro pulverizado y reduce

el riesgo de inyección cuando no está instalada la boquilla.

Revisar con regularidad el funcionamiento del difusor

. Seguir

procedimiento de descarga de presión,

dado más abajo,

y después sacar la boquilla. Apuntar la pistola a un balde

metálico, sosteniéndola bien firme contra él. Utilizando la

presión más bajo posible, disparar la pistola. Si el fluido

emitido

no sale disperso

en un chorro irregular, reemplazar de

inmediato el difusor

Protector

de la boquilla

SIEMPRE

tener el protector de la boquilla colocado en la

pistola mientras se está pulverizando. Este protector llama la

atención contra el peligro de inyección y ayuda a reducir

, pero

no evita, la colocación accidental de los dedos o cualquier

otra parte del cuerpo cerca de la boquilla.

Seguridad

de la boquilla pulverizadora

Tener

mucho cuidado al limpiar o cambiar las boquillas. Si

llegara a obstruirse mientras está pulverizando, enganchar el

pestillo de la pistola de inmediato. SIEMPRE seguir el

procedimiento de descarga de presión

y después sacar

la boquilla para limpiarla

NUNCA limpiar la acumulación de pintura alrededor de la bo

quilla antes de que se haya descargado por completo la pre

sión y el pestillo esté enganchado.

PROCEDIMIENTO

DE DESCARGA DE PRESION

Para

reducir el riesgo de sufrir graves lesiones corporales,

incluyendo la inyección de fluidos, salpicaduras en los ojos o

la piel, o lesiones causadas por piezas en movimiento, siem

pre seguir este procedimiento al apagar la máquina pulveriza

dora, al revisar

SEGURIDAD

EN EL USO DE LAS MANGUERAS

fluido que escapa a alta presión por las mangueras puede

ser muy peligroso. Si en la manguera se desarrola un escape,

una rotura o rajadura debido a cualquier tipo de desgaste,

daño o maltrato, el chorro a alta presión emitido por allí puede

causar una lesión por inyección u otras lesiones corporales

graves o daños a la propiedad.

¡TODAS LAS MANGUERAS PARA FLUIDOS TIENEN QUE

TENER GUARDAS DE RESORTE EN AMBOS EXTREMOS!

Estas protegen las mangueras contra dobleces o retorcedu

ras en los acoplamientos o cerca de ellos, los que podrían

traducirse en roturas de la manguera.

Antes de usarlas, APRET

AR bien firmes todas las conexio

nes. El fluido a lata presión puede desalojar un acoplamiento

suelto o dejar que pro él escape un chorro a alta presión.

NUNCA

usar una manguera que está dañada. Siempre revisar

la en busca de cortaduras, escapes, abrasión, cubierta abulta

da, o acoplamientos sueltos o dañados. Si llegara a encontrar

se cualquiera de estas condiciones, reemplazar de inmediato la

manguera. NO intentar reacoplar una manguera de alta presión

o enmendarla con cinta adhesiva u otro material similar

. Una

manguera que ha sido remendada no aguante el fluido al alta

presión.

MANEJAR

Y P

ASAR CUIDADOSAMENTE LAS MANGUE-

RAS. No tirar de las mangueras para mover el equipo. No

usar fluidos o solventes que sean incompatibles con el tubo

interno y la cubierta de la manguera. NO exponer las man

gueras a temperaturas sobre 82

(-40_

F).

Continuidad

del circuito de puesta a tierra

de la manguera

continuidad del circuito de puesta a tierra apropiado es

esencial para mantener conectado a tierra el sistema pulveri

zador

. Es indispensable revisar la resistencia eléctrica máxi

ma de las mangueras de aire y de fluido por lo menos una

vez a la semana. Si la manguera no tiene una etiqueta en la

cual se especifica la resistencia eléctrica máximum, ponerse

en contacto con el proveedor o fabricante de la manguera

para la información sobre los límites de resistencia. Usar un

metro de resistencia en la gama apropiada para comprobar la

resistencia; si excede los lites recomendados, reemplazarla

de inmediato. Es muy arriesgado tener una manguera sin

puesta a tierra o con la puesta a tierra en malas condiciones.

SETUP

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury

caused by static sparking, fluid injection or

over–pressurization and rupture of the hose

or gun:

1. Ground the sprayer and all objects being

sprayed. Read

FIRE OR EXPLOSION

HAZARD on page 3.

2. Do not operate the spray gun without a

tip guard in place.

3. Be sure all parts added to the sprayer

are rated for at least 2500 psi (175 bar)

Maximum Working Pressure.

WARNING To avoid damaging the pressure control, fol-

low these precautions.

1. Always use flexible, grounded hose at

least 50 feet (15.2 m) long.

2. Never use a wire braid hose; it is too rig-

id to act as a pulsation dampener.

3. Never install any shutoff device between

the pressure control and the first 50 feet

(15 m) of hose. See Fig 1.

CAUTION

1. Connect a 50 foot spray hose and a gun to

the 1/4 npsm(m) fluid outlet nipple. For

more flexible gun movement, install a 3 foot

(0.9 m), 3/16 inch ID diameter hose between

the gun and main spray hose.

DO NOT use thread sealant on the hose and

gun connections. DO NOT install the spray tip

until the system is primed.

2. Fill the packing nut/wet–cup 1/3 full with

Throat Seal Liquid, supplied. Keep it filled to

help extend the life of the packings and the

pump.

3. Check the electrical service. It must be

120 VAC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp (minimum). The

electrical outlet must be properly grounded.

DO NOT remove the grounding prong of the

plug, and do not use an adapter.

Extension cords up to 100 feet (30 m) of 3

wire, 12 gauge (minimum) can be used.

Longer lengths may affect sprayer

performance. Use more spray hose to reach

the spray area, if needed.

4. Plug the power supply cord into an outlet

located at least 20 feet (6 m) from the spray

area. This reduces the chance of a spark ignit-

ing the spray vapors or dust particles.

5. Flush the pump to remove the lightweight

test oil which was left in it after factory testing.

See FLUSHING GUIDELINES

on page 12.

6. Prepare the paint according to the instruc-

tions on the paint can. Strain the paint through

a fine nylon mesh bag to remove particles that

could clog the spray tip.

5. Engage the gun safety latch.

6. Open the pressure drain valve, having a

container ready to catch the drainage.

Leave the pressure drain valve open until

you use the sprayer again.

If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is com-

pletely clogged, or that pressure has not been

fully relieved after following the steps above,

VERY SLOWLY

loosen the tip guard retaining

nut or hose end coupling and relieve pressure

gradually. Then loosen the nut completely.

WARNING

10 308–030

OPERATION

1. Prime the sprayer with paint.

a. Close the pressure drain valve.

b. Don’t install the spray tip yet!

c. Put the suction tube into the paint.

d. Turn the pressure adjusting knob counter-

your spray tip for cleaning clogs.

SHUTDOWN

AND CARE

1. Check the packing nut/wet–cup daily.

Relieve pressure. Keep the wet–cup 1/3 full of

Throat Seal Liquid to help prevent fluid build-

up on the piston rod and premature wear of

packings. Tighten the packing just enough to

stop leakage. Overtightening may cause bind-

ing and excessive packing wear. See Fig 5.

2. Flush the sprayer at the end of each work

day and fill it with mineral spirits to help pre-

vent pump corrosion and freezing. See

FLUSHING GUIDELINES

on page 12.

Never leave water or any paint in the sprayer

overnight to prevent pump corrosion and to

prevent the fluid from freezing in the pump

and pressure control which can cause loss of

pressure, stalling or serious sprayer damage.

Always use mineral spirits for the final flush,

relieve pressure, and leave the mineral spirits

in the sprayer.

CAUTION

3. For very short shutoff periods, leave the

suction tube in the paint, relieve pressure, un-

plug the sprayer, and clean the spray tip.

4. Coil the hose around the top of the shroud

and rest it on top of the hose rack when stor-

ing it, even for overnight, to help protect the

hose from kinking or damage.

FLUSHING GUIDELINES

When To Flush

NEVER leave water in the sprayer if there is

the slightest chance it could freeze. Flush out

the water with mineral spirits. If water freezes

in the pressure control tube, it prevents the

sprayer from being started and causes seri-

ous damage to the pressure control.

CAUTION

New Sprayer

. Flush out the test oil.

Before using water-base paint,

flush with

mineral spirits, followed by a soapy water

flush, and then a clean water flush.

Before using oil-base paint,

flush with miner-

al spirits, only.

2. Changing Colors. Flush with a compatible

solvent such as mineral spirits or water.

3. Changing from water-base to oil-base

paint. Flush with warm, soapy water, and then

flush with mineral spirits.

4. Changing from oil-base to water-base

paint. Flush with mineral spirits, followed by

warm, soapy water, and then a clean water

flush.

5. Storage. Flush, leave the pump, hose and

gun filled with mineral spirits. Shut off the

sprayer and open the pressure drain valve to

relieve pressure.

Water-base paint:

Flush with water, and then

mineral spirits.

Oil-base paint:

Flush with mineral spirits.

6. Startup after storage.

Before using water-base paint

, flush with

soapy water, and then with clean water.

When using oil-based paint,

with the paint to

be sprayed.

How To Flush

1. Relieve pressure. See page 9.

2. Close the pressure drain valve. See Fig 6.

3. Pour one–half gallon (2 liters) of compatible

solvent into a grounded metal pail. Put the

suction tube in the pail.

4. Remove the spray tip.

To reduce the risk of static sparking and

splashing when flushing, always remove the

spray tip from the gun, and hold a metal part

of the gun firmly to the side of a grounded

metal pail. See Fig 7.

WARNING

5. Disengage the gun safety latch. Start the

sprayer, trigger the gun, and slowly turn the

pressure adjusting knob clockwise just until

the pump starts. Keep the gun triggered until

clean solvent comes from the nozzle. Release

the trigger and engage the gun safety latch.

6. Check all fluid connections for leaks. Relieve

pressure before tightening the connections.

Start the sprayer.

7. Remove the suction tube from the pail. Disen-

gage the gun safety latch. Trigger the gun to

force solvent from the hose. Do not run the

pump dry for more than 30 seconds to avoid

damaging the pump packings! Relieve

pressure.

8. Leave the pressure drain valve open until you

use the sprayer again.

9. If you flushed with mineral spirits and are go-

ing to use a water-base paint, flush with soapy

water followed by a clean water flush. Relieve

pressure.

APPLICATION METHODS

Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface. Keep

the gun at an even 12 to 14 in. (300–356 mm)

from the surface you are spraying. See Fig 8.

Begin moving the gun horizontally at a steady

rate. Start the spray stroke off the target surface

and pull the trigger as the gun is moving. Then,

while the gun is still moving, and as you approach

the other edge of the surface, release the trigger.

This method avoids excess paint buildup at the

end of each stroke.

Fig

RIGHT

WRONG

Move the gun at a speed that provides a full, wet

coating to be applied without runs or sags. Lap

each stroke 50% over the previous stroke to pro-

duce a uniform paint thickness. Spray in a uniform

pattern from right to left and then left to right for a

professional finish. See Fig 9.

Fig

OVERLAP EACH STROKE 50%

The best way to control the rate of coverage is

with the gun tip size.

A small tip orifice applies

less paint. A larger tip orifice applies more paint.

The width of the pattern depends on the fan pat-

tern of the tip you choose.

Do not try to increase coverage by increasing the

fluid pressure! Use the lowest pressure needed

for good results. This prolongs the life of your

sprayer and reduces paint lost by overspray.

For interior corners aim the gun toward the center

of the corner to be sprayed. By dividing the spray

pattern this way, the edges on both sides are

sprayed evenly. See Fig 10.

Fig

If there is a wind, angle the spray pattern into the

wind to minimize drifting. Paint from the ground to

the roof.

Shrubs. Tie back shrubs with rope and stakes.

Cover them with a dropcloth as the painter ap-

proaches the area. Remove the dropcloth as soon

as the area is painted to prevent damage.

Concrete walks. If the walkways will be walked

on, cover them with a canvas dropcloth to avoid

slipping. Otherwise a plastic cloth can be used.

Electrical outlets and lamps. Protect electrical out-

lets with masking tape. Cover lamps with plastic

bags secured with masking tape.

Nearby objects. Move portable objects upwind of

the surface to be sprayed. If there is a nearby

home, make a protective barrier by hanging plas-

tic dropcloths between two long poles.

Reinstalling the Pump. See Fig 11.

1. Rotate the crankshaft (A) so the connecting

rod (64) is in its lowest position. (Rotate the

fan blades at the rear of the motor with a

screwdriver.) The pump piston rod (223)

should protrude about 1 in. (25 mm) above the

pump cylinder. Screw the pump into the pump

coupling (64) until the pin holes are aligned.

Insert the pin (63). Position the spring (65) so

it covers the ends of the pin. Screw the pump

into the drive housing (8) until it stops at the

locknut (31). Unscrew the pump just until the

fitting (30) faces straight back.

Be sure the retaining spring (65) is firmly and

completely in the groove of the connecting

rod to prevent the pin (63) from working loose

due to vibration. See Fig 11.

If the pin works loose, it or other parts could

break off due to the force of the pumping ac-

tion. These parts could be projected through

the air and result in serious bodily injury or

property damage, including damage to the

pump, connecting rod or bearing housing.

WARNING

2. Torque the locknut (31) to 70 ft–lb (95 N.m).

3. Reassemble the remaining parts, in the re-

verse order of removal.

Disassembly. See Fig 14, except where noted.

1. Remove and disassemble the intake valve

(222). If no further service is needed, rea-

semble the valve, using a new gasket (206).

Torque to 80 ft–lb (107 N.m). See Fig 11.

2. Remove the packing nut (221) and plug (201).

3. Tap the piston rod (223) down with a plastic

mallet. Pull the rod out the bottom of the cylin-

der (216).

4. Remove the packings and glands from the

throat of the cylinder (216).

5. Clamp the flats of the piston rod (223) in a

vise. Unscrew the retaining nut (214). Un-

screw the piston valve (224) from the rod. Re-

move all parts from the piston.

Reassembly Notes

A. Packing Repair Kit 222–587 is available. Parts

included in the kit are marked with an asterisk

(*) in the text and drawings.

B. Clean all parts thoroughly. Check the outside

of the piston rod (223) and the inside of the

cylinder (216) for scoring or scratches, which

prevent the packings from sealing properly.

Replace all worn parts.

C. Alternate polyethylene and leather packings

as shown in Fig 14. Notice that:

the lips of the throat v–packings face down;

the lips of the piston V–packings face up;

the lips of the U–cup seal (205) face down.

Incorrect installation damages the packings

and results in pump leakage.

D. Coat the piston rod and the inside of the cylin-

der with lightweight oil, and soak the packings

in the oil, before reassembling.

PRESSURE

CONTROL & CIRCUIT BOARD

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, al-

ways follow the Pressure Relief Procedure

Warning on page 14 before checking or re-

pairing any part of the spray system.

WARNING

NOTE: Refer to Fig 15 and 16.

NOTE: A circuit board (13b) is not included with

the new pressure control (18). Order sep-

arately, if needed.

Do not allow the fittings (A) to move when

removing the elbow (90) or the tee (89) from

the pressure control to avoid altering the fac-

tory setting of the pressure control or perma-

nently damage the pressure control.

CAUTION

Circuit Board Removal

1. Remove the pressure control cover (7). Pull

the board (13b) out carefully, just far enough

to reach the wire terminals. Disconnect the

leads and remove the board.

Pressure Control Removal

2. Disconnect the main spray hose from the filter,

the drain hose (41) from the pressure drain

valve (35), and disconnect the hose (26) from

the pressure control. Unscrew the tee (89).

3. Disconnect the remaining motor leads.

4. Remove the screws (88), spacers (11), lock-

washers (39), nuts (40).

5. Pull the pressure control (18) away from the

conduit (13f) while carefully guiding the leads

through the bushing (91), one at a time.

6. Remove the mounting bracket (70) and install

it on the new pressure control.

7. Guide the motor leads into the new pressure

control.

Circuit Board Installation

8. Position the circuit board at the control so the

wire connectors are at the top. Connect the

leads to the board. Guide the leads into the

pressure control, making sure they don’t catch

on anything. Slide the board into place.

Pressure Control Installation

9. Connect any other loose wires. See Fig 16.

10. Mount the pressure control on the cart. Install

the lift handle.

11.

Adjust the pressure control.

See page 19.

Adjust the pressure control whenever a new

or used pressure control or circuit board is

installed to reduce the risk of overpressuriza-

tion which can result in component rupture,

fire or explosion. Improper adjustment may

also prevent the sprayer from obtaining the

maximum working pressure, resulting in poor

sprayer performance.

PRESSURE

CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

USE

EXTREME CAUTION WHEN PERFORMING THIS ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

to reduce

the risk of a fluid injection injury or other serious bodily injury, which can result from component rup-

ture, electric shock, fire, explosion or moving parts.

This procedure sets the sprayer to 2500 psi

(172

bar) MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE.

Perform this procedure whenever the micro-

switch or pressure control assembly is rein-

stalled or replaced.

Improper calibration can cause the sprayer to

overpressurize, resulting in component rupture,

fire or explosion. It may also prevent the spray-

er from obtaining the maximum working pres-

sure, resulting in poor sprayer performance.

NEVER attempt to increase the sprayer’s maxi-

mum working pressure by performing these ad-

justments in any other way. Normal operation of

the sprayer at higher pressures may result in

component rupture, fire or explosion. To per-

form this adjustment, however, the sprayer

pressure must be

temporarily

increased above

the normal working pressure.

Use a

new

50 foot (15.2 m) spray hose, rated

for at least 3000 psi (210 bar) MAXIMUM

WORKING PRESSURE, when performing this

procedure. A used, under–rated hose could de-

velop a high pressure leak or rupture.

WARNING

PRESSURE

CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

1. Relieve pressure. See page 14.

2. Remove the old spray hose. Install the new

hardware and hose as shown in Fig 17. On

the other end of the hose install the needle

valve.

NOTE: Refer to Fig 18 for the remainder of this

procedure.

Fig

ON/OFF

SWITCH

3. Open the needle valve slightly. Turn the

pressure adjusting knob (A) to the minimum

setting.

4. Plug in the sprayer and turn the switch ON.

Increase the pressure just enough to start the

sprayer. Fully prime the hose.

NOTE: In Step 5, the slower the pressure is

raised, the easier it is to note the exact

stall pressure. Closing the needle valve

quickly causes the pressure to rise too

fast which gives a false reading.

5. Open the needle valve a just enough to allow

the pump to run continuously, and turn the

pressure adjusting knob to maximum. Very

slowly start to close the needle valve. Observe

the pressure at which the pump stalls, which

should be approximately 2500 psi (190 bar).

If the pressure is lower than 2500

psi

(

172

bar):

Unplug the sprayer and relieve pressure. Turn

the adjustment nut (B) counterclockwise 1/8

turn or less. Repeat steps 4 and 5.

If the pressure is higher than 2500

psi

(

172

bar):

Unplug the sprayer and relieve pressure.

Turn the adjustment nut (B) clockwise 1/8

turn or less. Repeat steps 4 and 5.

Repeat this procedure until the proper stall

pressure is obtained.

6. Plug in the sprayer, turn it on, close the needle

valve, and set the pressure at maximum. Al-

low the sprayer to run until it stalls.

7. Open the needle valve very slowly while ob-

serving the pressure gauge. Check to see if

the pressure drops to approximately 2100 psi

(147 bar) before starting again.

If the pressure is lower than

2100

psi

(

147

bar

)

Shut off and unplug the sprayer, but do not

relieve pressure. Turn the differential wheel

peat Steps 4 and 5. Check the pressure drop

again, and repeat if necessary.

NOTE: If you adjust the differential wheel, re-

check the stall pressure (steps 4 and 5) to

be sure the it has not changed.

8. Relieve pressure. Flush the water out with

mineral spirits. Relieve pressure. Remove the

test equipment.
