Installation

General Information

NOTE: Reference numbers and letters in parentheses

in the text refer to the callouts in the figures and the

parts drawing.

NOTE: Always use Genuine Graco Parts and Acces-

sories, available from your Graco distributor. If you

supply your own accessories, be sure they are ade-

quately sized and pressure-rated for your system.

Fig. 1 is only a guide for selecting and installing sys-

tem components and accessories. Contact your Graco

distributor for assistance in designing a system to suit

your particular needs.

Prepare the Operator

All persons who operate the equipment must be

trained in the safe, efficient operation of all system

components as well as the proper handling of all fluids.

All operators must thoroughly read all instruction

manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equip-

ment.

The following manuals are included with this equip-

ment:

311001 AA Series Spray Gun

308995 Falcon and Falcon II Air Motors

308996 Falcon and Falcon II Pumps

Prepare the Site

NOTE: The compressed air supply to the gun must be

clean and dry, to prevent damage to the finish. Use a

coalescing air filter in the main air supply line.

Fig. 1. Ensure that the wall is strong enough to support

the weight of the pump and accessories, fluid, hoses,

and stress caused during pump operation.

Ensure that you have an adequate compressed air

supply.

Bring a compressed air supply line from the air com-

pressor to the pump location. Be sure all air hoses are

properly sized and pressure-rated for your system.

Use only electrically conductive hoses. The air hose

(A) should have a 3/8 npt(m) thread. A quick discon-

nect coupling is recommended.

Install a bleed-type shutoff valve (B) in the air line to

isolate the air line components for servicing. Install an

air line filter (C) and a moisture trap and drain valve

(D) to help remove moisture and contaminants from

the compressed air supply.

Keep the site clear of any obstacles or debris that

could interfere with the operator’s movement.

Have a grounded, metal pail available for use when

flushing the system.

Supplied Components

WARNING

A red-handled bleed-type master air valve (E) is

supplied. This component helps reduce the risk of

serious injury, including fluid injection and splashing

of fluid in the eyes or on the skin, and injury from

moving parts when adjusting or repairing the pump.

The bleed-type master air valve relieves air trapped

between this valve and the pump after the valve is

closed. Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle

unexpectedly.

DFig. 1. The red-handled bleed-type master air

valve (E) is required in your system to relieve air

trapped between it and the air motor and gun when

the valve is closed (see the WARNING above). Do

not block access to the valve.

DThe pump air regulator with red knob (G) con-

trols pump speed and outlet pressure by adjusting

the air pressure to the pump.

DThe air relief valve (H) (on Falcon II packages

only) opens automatically to prevent overpressur-

ization of the pump.

DThe gun air regulator with gray knob (J) adjusts

the air pressure to the air-assisted Alpha spray

gun (28).

DThe suction hose (23) allows the pump to draw

fluid from a 5 gallon pail (L). Also supplied is a

filter (25).

DThe air-assisted Alpha spray gun (106) dis-

penses the fluid. The gun houses the spray

tip (33 not shown), which is available in a wide

range of sizes for different spray patterns and rates

of flow. The standard tip included with this package

is AAM413 (Falcon) or AAM415 (Falcon ll). The

package also includes a tip of choice. Both tips are

unassembled. Refer to gun manual 311001 for tip

installation.

WARNING

Hoses must be connected correctly. An incorrectly

installed hose may burst causing serious injury.

DThe red hose (34) provides the gun air supply.

DThe blue hose (31) provides the gun fluid supply.

DThe gun swivel (38) allows for freer gun move-

ment and comes attached to the blue hose.

2. Pump air supply and fluid hoses: Use only electri-

cally conductive hoses with a maximum of 500 feet

(150 m) combined hose length to ensure ground-

ing continuity. Check the electrical resistance of

your air and fluid hoses at least once a week. If the

total resistance to ground exceeds 29 megohms,

replace the hose immediately.

NOTE: Use a meter that is capable of measuring

resistance at this level.

3. Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommen-

dations.

4. Spray gun: ground through connection to a prop-

erly grounded fluid hose and pump.

5. Fluid supply container: follow your local code.

6. Object being sprayed: follow your local code.

7. Solvent pails used when flushing: follow your local

code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,

placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the

pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or

cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continu-

ity.

8. To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or

relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the spray

gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail,

then trigger the gun.

Setup

1. Fig.1. Attach end of blue fluid hose (31) without
