Introduction

Pressure Control

The

pressure control includes an ON/OFF switch for

the sprayer

, the pressure–adjusting control knob, a

pressure–sensing device and a current–overload cir

cuit breaker with a manual–reset button. The pressure

control regulates the motor speed.

Motor

The DC motor has sealed bearings and replaceable

motor brushes. The motor operates whenever there is

a demand for fluid or additional fluid pressure. When

the pump is cycling, the motor sounds like the cranking

of an automobile starter

. When the pump is not cy

cling, the motor hums intermittently until the fluid pres

sure stabilizes, then the motor will shuts of

f. However

there is still power to the sprayer and the sprayer stays

pressurized and ready to use until you manually shut it

f and relieve the pressure.

The direct–current (DC) motor is less sensitive to low

voltage or voltage fluctuations than an alternating–cur

rent (AC) motor

. However

, long extension cords may

fect the sprayer performance.

Drive Assembly

The

drive assembly, which is sealed, transfers power

from the DC motor to the displacement pump.

Displacement Pump

The

displacement pump provides equal fluid delivery

on both the up and the down pump stroke strokes. The

pump has a packing nut which, when filled with Graco

Throat Seal Liquid T(SL), helps prevent damage to the

throat packings and piston rod.

Fluid Filter

The

fluid filter strains the paint to help avoid clogs in

the hose and the spray tip. The filter includes a reus

able element and has a pressure drain valve for manu

ally relieving fluid pressure.

Hoses

The grounded, nylon spray hoses have spring guards

on both ends. The 50 foot (15.2 meter) hose has a 1/4

inch ID. The 3 foot (0.9 meter), 3/16 inch ID hose pro

vides more flexible gun movement. The nylon hose

material acts as a pulsation dampener to absorb pres

sure fluctuations.

Spray Gun & RAC IV DripLess Tip Guard

The

spray gun has a trigger safety which prevents ac

cidental triggering when it is locked. The gun has a

filter for final paint–straining. The Reverse-A-Clean IV

(RAC IV) SwitchT

ip uses high pressure fluid to remove

clogs from the spray tip without removing it from the

gun. The RAC IV DripLess tip guard is a safety feature

which helps reduce the risk of a skin injection injury

WARNINGS

High Pressure Spray Can Cause Serious Injury

. For Professional Use Only.

Observe All W

arnings. Read and understand all instruction manuals before operating 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 bod

ily

injury

, including the need

for amputation. Also, fluid injected

splashed into the eyes or

on the skin can cause serious dam

age.

Never

point the spray gun at anyone or at any part of the body

Never put hand or fingers over the spray tip. Never try to “blow

back”

paint; this is Not an air spray system.

Always

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

ing.

Always follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, below, before

cleaning or removing the spray tip or servicing any system

equipment.

Never

try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body

sure equipment safety devices are operating properly before

each

use.

Medical

Alert––Airless Spray W

ounds

If any fluid appears to penetrate your skin, get emergency

medical care at once. do not treat as a simple cut. Tell the

doctor

exactly what fluid was injected.

Note

to Physician

Injection in the skin is a traumatic injury

important to treat the injury surgically as soon as possible.

not delay treatment to research toxicity

oxicity is a concern

with some exotic coatings injected directly into the blood

stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or reconstructive

hand

surgeon may be advisable

Spray

Gun Safety Devices

Be 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 trigger safety in the closed or “safe” position, making the

gun

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

dental

triggering of the gun.

Diffuser

The gun diffuser 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

, below

, 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

diffused into an irregular

stream,

replace the dif

fuser immediately

Tip Guard

Always

have the tip guard in place on the spray

gun while spray

ing. The tip guard alerts you to the fluid injection hazard and

helps

reduce, but does not prevent, the risk

of accidentally plac

ing

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 spray

ing 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, lock the gun trigger safety im

mediately

. AL

YS follow the

Pressure Relief Procedure

and

then

remove the spray tip to clean it.

NEVER

wipe of

f build-up around the spray tip until pressure is

fully

relieved and the gun trigger safety is locked.

Pressure

Relief Procedure

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

on the skin, or other serious bodily injury

, or fire, explosion 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

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

3000 psi (210 bar) Maximum Working

Pressure

. Be sure that all spray equipment and accessories

used are rated to withstand this pressure. Do not exceed the

maximum working pressure of any component or accessory

used

in the system.

Fluid and Solvent Compatibility

All

chemicals used

in the sprayer must be chemically compat

ible

with the wetted parts shown in the

echnical Data

on page

44.

Consult your chemical supplier to ensure compatibility

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

logenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such sol-

vents in this equipment, which contains aluminum and/or zinc

parts.

Such

use could result in a serious chemical reaction, 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 skin injection injury or other serious bodily injury or

property

damage.

All

fluid hoses must have spring guards on both ends!

The

spring guards help protect the hose from kinks or bends at or

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 pres

sure

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 ex

ist, replace the hose immediately. Do not try to recouple high

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

paired

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

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 hose to temperatures above 180



F (82

C)

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 resistance,

contact

the hose supplier or manufacturer for the maximum re

sistance

limits. Use a resistance meter in the appropriate range

for your hose to check the resistance. If the resistance exceeds

the recommended limits, replace it immediately. An un-

grounded

or poorly grounded hose can make

your system haz

ardous.

Also read

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.

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 un-

plugging a power supply cord or using a gasoline engine.

Sparks can ignite fumes from solvents and the fluid being

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

damage.

If you experience any static sparking or even a slight shock

while using this equipment, stop spraying immediately.

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

system again until the problem has been identified and

corrected.

Grounding

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 instructions for

your area and type of equipment. Be sure to ground all of this

spray

equipment:

SEGURIDAD EN EL USO DE LAS MANGUERAS

El fluido que escapa a alta presión por las mangueras puede

ser

muy peligroso. Si en la manguera se desarrolla un

escape,

una

rotura o rajadura debido a cualquier tipo de desgaste, daño

o maltrato, el chorro a alta presión emitido por alli puede causar

una lesion 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 retorceduras en los

acoplamientos o cerca de ellos, los que

podrian traducirse en

roturas de la manguera.

Antes

de usarlas, apretar bien

firmes todas las conexiones. El

fluido a alta presión puede desalojar un acoplamiento suelto o

dejar

que por el escape un chorro a alta presión.

Nunca usar una manguera que está dañada. Siempre,

revisarla

en busca de cortaduras, escapes, abrasion, cubierta

abultada, o acoplamientos sueltos o dañados. Si llegara a en

contrarse cualquiera de estás condiciónes, reemplazar de in-

mediato la manguera. NO intentar racoplar una manguera de

alta presión o enmendarla con cinta adhesiva u otro matérial

similar. Una manguera que ha sido remendada no aguante el

fluido

a alta presión.

Manejar y pasar cuidadosamente las mangueras. No tirar de

las mangueras para mover el equipo. No usar fluidos o sol-

ventes

que sean incompatibles con el tubo interno y la cubierta

dela manguera. No exponer las mangueras a temperaturas

sobre



C (180



F) o bajo –40



C (–40

F).

Continuidad

del circuito de puestá a tierra de la

manguera

La continuidad del circuito de puestá a tierra apropiado es

esencial para mantener conectado a tierra el sistema pul-

verizador. Es indispensable revisar la resistencia eléctrica

máxima

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

especifica la resistencia eléctrica, ponerse en contacto con

el provédor o fabricante de la manguera para la información

sobre

los límites de resistencia. Usar un metro de resistencia en

gama apropiade para comprobar la resistencia; si excede los

límites

recomendados, reemplazarla

de inmediato. Es muy ar

riesgado
