This symbol alerts you to the possibility of damage to

or destruction of equipment if you do not follow the

WARNING

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

Spray from the spray tip, hose leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause

extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin

can also cause can also cause serious injury.

Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate surgi-

cal treatment!

Do not point the spray tip at anyone or any part of the body.

Do not put hand or fingers over the spray tip, and do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand,

body, glove or rag.

Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.

Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the in-line valve when spraying.

Be sure the trigger safety lever operates before operating the in-line valve.

Lock the trigger safety lever when you stop spraying.

Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 6 when you are instructed to relieve pressure;

stop spraying; check, clean, or service any system equipment; or install or change spray tips.

Tighten all fluid connections before each use.

Check the hoses, tubes and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Perma-

nently coupled hoses cannot be repaired.

Handle and route hoses and tubes carefully. Keep hoses and tubes away from moving parts and

hot surfaces. Do not use the hoses to pull equipment. Do not expose Graco hoses to temperatures

above 150F (65C) or below –40F (–40C).

TOXIC FLUID HAZARD

Hazardous fluids or toxic fumes can cause a serious injury or death if the fluid is swallowed or

splashed in the eyes or on the skin or if the fumes are inhaled.

Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.

Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose hazardous fluid according to all local,

state and national guidelines.

Dress appropriately for your application. Wear protective eyewear, noise protection for the ears, a

personal respirator, gloves, and clothing.

RECOIL HAZARD

Due to the high pressure fluid emitted, a strong recoil action may occur when you trigger the pole gun.

If you are unprepared, your hand could be forced back toward your body or you could lose your bal-

ance and fall, resulting in serious injury.

4309411

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Improper grounding, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and

result in fire or explosion and serious injury.

Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed.

Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvent or the fluid being

sprayed.

Extinguish all the open flames or pilot lights in the spray area.

Electrically disconnect all the equipment in the spray area.

Keep the spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.

Do not turn on or off any light switch in the spray area while operating or if fumes are present.

Do not smoke in the spray area.

Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.

If there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop spraying immediately. Identify and

correct the problem.

INSTRUCTIONS

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Equipment misuse can cause the equipment to rupture, malfunction, or start unexpectedly and result

in serious injury.

This equipment is for professional use only.

Read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equipment.

Use the equipment only for its intended purpose. If you are uncertain about the usage, call your

distributor.

Do not alter or modify this equipment. Use only genuine Graco parts and accessories.

Check the equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated system component. This equip-

ment has a 3600 psi (25 MPa, 248 bar) maximum working pressure.

Route the hoses away from the traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces. Do not

expose Graco hoses to temperatures above 150F (65C) or below –40F (–40C).

Do not use the hoses to pull the equipment.

Use fluids or solvents that are compatible with the equipment wetted parts. See the Technical

Data section of all the equipment manuals. Read the fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.

Fluid hoses must have spring guards on both ends to protect them from rupture caused by kinks or

bends near the couplings.

Comply with all applicable local, state and national fire, electrical and other safety regulations.

Wear hearing protection when operating this equipment.

HAZARD OF USING FLUIDS CONTAINING HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS

Never use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids

containing such solvents in this equipment. Such use could result in a serious chemical reaction, with

the possibility of explosion, which could cause death, serious injury and/or substantial property dam-

age.

Consult your fluid suppliers to ensure that the fluids being used are compatible with aluminum and zinc

parts.

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:

are instructed to relieve pressure,

stop spraying,

check or service any system equipment,

or 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.

CAUTION

For detailed engine maintenance and specifications,

refer to separate engine manual, supplied.

DAILY: Check engine oil level and fill as necessary.

Manual 309410.

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.
