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 and high pressure hazard: High pressure spray or

leaks can inject fluid into the body.

To help prevent injection, always:

DEngage trigger safety latch when not spraying.

DKeep clear of nozzle and leaks.

DNever spray without a tip guard.

DDo PRESSURE RELIEF if you stop spraying or begin servicing

sprayer.

DDo not use components rated less than sprayer Maximum

Working Pressure.

DNever allow children to use this unit.

If high pressure fluid pierces your skin, the injury might look like

“just a cut”, but it is a serious wound! Get immediate medical atten-

tion.

Fire and explosion: Solvent and paint fumes can ignite or

explode.

To help prevent a fire and explosion:

DUse only in an extremely well ventilated area.

DEliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes and

plastic drop cloths (static arc hazard). Do not plug or unplug

power cords or turn lights on or off in spray area.

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

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

DUse only conductive airless paint hose.

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.

DDo not fill fuel tank while engine is running or hot.

DDo not flush with gasoline.

WARNING

Maintenance

WARNING

INJECTION HAZARD

The system pressure must be manually

relieved to prevent the system from

starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid

under high pressure can be injected through the

skin and cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of

an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving

parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure

whenever you:

Dareinstructedtorelievethepressure,

Dstop spraying,

Dcheck or service any of the system equipment,

Dor install or clean the spray tip.

Pressure Relief Procedure

1. Lock gun trigger safety.

2. Turn engine ON/OFF switch to OFF.

3. Move pressure control switch to OFF and turn

pressure control knob fully counterclockwise.

4. Unlock trigger safety. Hold metal part of gun firmly

to side of grounded metal pail, and trigger gun to

relieve pressure.

5. Lock gun trigger safety.

6. Open pressure drain valve. Leave valve open until

ready to spray again.

If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely

clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved

after following the 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.

UTION

For detailed engine maintenance and specifications,

refer to separate Honda Engines Owner’s Manual,

supplied.

DAILY: Check engine oil level and fill as necessary.

DAILY: Check hose for wear and damage.

DAILY: Check gun safety for proper operation.

DAILY: Check pressure drain valve for proper opera-

tion.

DAILY: Check and fill the gas tank.

AFTER THE FIRST 20 HOURS OF OPERATION:

Drain engine oil and refill with clean oil. Reference

Honda Engines Owner’s Manual for correct oil viscos-

ity.

WEEKLY: Remove air filter cover and clean element.

Replace element, if necessary. If operating in an

unusually dusty environment: check filter daily and

replace, if necessary.

Replacement elements can be purchased from your

local HONDA dealer.

WEEKLY: Check level of TSL in displacement pump

packing nut. Fill nut, if necessary. Keep TSL in nut to

help prevent fluid buildup on piston rod and premature

wear of packings.

AFTER EACH 100 HOURS OF OPERATION:

Change engine oil. Reference Honda Engines Owner’s

Manual for correct oil viscosity.

SPARK PLUG: Use only BPR6ES (NGK) or

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

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

wrench when installing and removing plug.

With pump switch ON and pressure turned to

MAXIMUM, use a test light to check for power

between clutch test points on control board.

Remove 7--pin connector from control board

and measure resistance across clutch coil. At

70_F, the resistance must be between 1.7

±0.2Ω; if not, replace pinion housing.

Have pressure control checked by authorized

Graco dealer.
