Warnings and Cautions

Warning Symbol

WARNING

This symbol alerts you to the possibility of serious

injury or death if you do not follow the instructions.

Caution Symbol

CAUTION

This symbol alerts you to the possibility of damage to

or destruction of equipment if you do not follow the

instructions.

Fluid injection is a serious injury! If high pressure fluid pierces

your skin, the injury might look like “just a cut”. But it is a serious

wound! Get immediate medical attention.

To help prevent injection, always:

DEngage trigger safety latch when not spraying.

DPoint gun away from yourself or anyone else.

DRelieve pressure before checking or repairing any leak.

DRelieve pressure when you turn off the sprayer or stop spraying.

DDo not use components rated less than system Maximum

Working Pressure

Never allow children to use this unit. If you are injured using this

equipment, get immediate medical treatment.

Fire and explosion can occur when spraying or flushing flammable

fluid in an area where air circulation is poor and flammable vapors

can be ignited by an open flame or sparks.

To help prevent a fire and explosion:

DUse outdoors or in an extremely well ventilated area.

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

halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such

solvents in pressurized aluminum equipment. Such use could

result in a chemical reaction, with the possibility of explosion.

DRemove, extinguish or unplug all ignition sources;

tape wall switch. Do not smoke in spray area.

DNever fill fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.

DGround Sprayer, object being sprayed, paint and solvent pails.

DHold gun firmly to side of a grounded pail when triggering into pail.

DUse only conductive airless paint hose.

DNever run engine in inclosed area.

Maintenance

WARNING

INJECTION HAZARD

System pressure must be manually

relieved to prevent system from starting

or spraying accidentally. Fluid under high

pressure can be injected through skin and cause

serious injury. To reduce risk of injury from injec-

tion, splashing fluid, or moving parts, follow Pres-

sure Relief Procedure whenever you:

Dare instructed to relieve pressure,

Dstop spraying,

Dcheck or service any system equipment,

Dor install or clean spray tip.

Pressure Relief Procedure

1. Lock gun safety latch.

2. Turn engine or electric motor ON/OFF switch to

OFF.

3. Unplug power supply cord (electric motor).

4. Move pressure control switch to OFF and turn

pressure control knob fully counterclockwise.

5. Rotate RAC 5 tip, if used, to reverse position.

6. Unlock gun safety latch. Hold metal part of gun

firmly to grounded metal pail. Trigger gun to relieve

pressure.

7. Lock gun safety latch.

8. Open pressure drain valve. Leave pressure drain

valve open until ready to spray again.

If suspected that spray tip or hose is completely

clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved

after following steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen tip

guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve

pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear

tip or hose obstruction.

UTION

For detailed engine maintenance and specifications,

refer to separate engine manual, supplied.

DAILY: Check engine oil level and fill as necessary.

Manual 308863.

DAILY: Check that V-belt (60) is centered on pulleys

and is not inverted. Replace if worn or damaged.

DAILY: Check and fill gas tank.

DAILY: Check hoses for wear and damage.

DAILY: Check gun safety for proper operation.

DAILY: Check pressure drain valve for proper opera-

tion.

AFTER THE FIRST 20 HOURS OF OPERATION

AND EACH 100 HOURS THEREAFTER: Change

engine oil.

DAILY: Keep TSL in packing nut to help lubricate

pump packings. One full squirt of TSL is usually

enough.

WEEKLY: Remove cover of air filter (C) and clean

element. Replace element, if necessary. If operating in

an unusually dusty environment, check filter daily and

replace it, if necessary.

Repack connecting rod (22) top needle bearing after

every pump change.

Replacement elements can be purchased from your

local HONDA dealer.

SPARK PLUG: Use only an BPR6ES (NGK) or

W20EPR--U (NIPPONDENSO) plug. Gap plug to

0.028 to 0.031 in. (0.7 to 0.8 mm). Use a spark plug

wrench when installing and removing plug.

Troubleshooting

WARNING

INJECTION HAZARD

To reduce risk of serious injury, including fluid injection or splashing in eyes or on skin, or injury from

moving parts, always follow Pressure Relief Procedure Warning, page 4, before checking, adjust-

ing, cleaning or shutting down sprayer.

Check everything in chart before disassembling sprayer.

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION

Engine won’t start Engine switch is OFF Turn engine switch on.

Engine is out of gas Refill gas tank. Honda Engines Owner’s Manual.

Engine oil level low Try to start engine. Replenish oil, if necessary.

Honda Engines Owner’s Manual.

Spark plug cable disconnected or

spark plug damaged

Connect spark plug cable or replace spark plug.

Oil seepage into combustion

chamber

Remove spark plug. Pull starter rope 3 or 4 times.

Clean or replace spark plug. Try to start engine.

Keep sprayer upright to avoid oil seepage.

Engine operates, but

Pressure control switch turned OFF Turn on.

displacement pump

doesn’t Pressure setting too low Increase pressure.

Displacement pump outlet filter dirty Clean filter.

Tip or tip filter clogged Clean tip or tip filter.

Broken drive belt Replace belt.

Displacement pump rod seized by

dry paint

Service pump. See page 14.

Connecting rod worn or damaged Replace. See page 7.

Drive housing worn or damaged Replace. See page 8.

Electrical power not energizing clutch field Check wiring connections. See page 20.

Reference control board diagnostics. See page 13.

With pressure control switch ON and pressure

turned to MAXIMUM, use a test light to check for

power between clutch terminals on control board.

Remove black clutch wires from control board and

measure resistance across wires. At 70_F, the

resistance must be between 1.7 ±0.2Ω;ifnot,re-

place pinion housing.

Have pressure control checked by authorized Gra-

co dealer.

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION

Pump output low Strainer (31) clogged Clean.

Piston ball (25) not seating Service piston ball check. Manual 308798.

Piston packings worn or damaged Replace packings. Manual 308798.

O-ring (227) in displacement pump is worn or

damaged

Replace o-ring. Manual 308798.

Large pressure drop in hose with heavy

materials

Use larger diameter hose and/or reduce overall

length of hose. Use of more than 100 ft of 1/4

in. hose significantly reduces performance of

sprayer. Use 3/8 in. hose for optimum perfor-

mance (50 ft minimum).

Excessive paint leakage into

throat packing nut

Throat packing nut is loose Remove throat packing nut spacer. Tighten

throat packing nut just enough to stop leakage.

Throat packings worn or damaged Replace packings. Manual 308798.

Fluid supply is low or empty Refill and prime pump. See Startup, Manual

308863. Check fluid supply often to prevent

running pump dry.

Pump is difficult to prime Air leak Check all hose connections and tighten as

needed.

Reduce engine speed and cycle pump as

slowly as possible during priming.

Intake valve is leaking Shut off pump and relieve pressure. Disas-

semble and clean intake valve. Be sure ball

seat is not nicked or worn and that ball seats

well. Reassemble.

Worn packings Repack pump. Manual 308798.

Fluid is too thick Thin fluid according to supplier’s recommenda-

tions.

Engine speed is too high Decrease throttle setting before priming pump.

Manual 308863.

High engine speed at no

load

Misadjusted throttle setting. Reset engine throttle to 3600 -- 3800 rpm at no

load

Worn engine governor Replace or service engine governor

Clutch squeaks each time

clutch engages

Clutch surfaces are not matched to each other

when new and may cause noise

Clutch surfaces need to wear into each other.

Noise will dissipate after a day of run time
