WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Improper

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

result in a fire or explosion and serious injury

Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed. Refer to

Grounding

on page 8.

If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment,

stop spray-

ing immediately

Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.

Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid

being sprayed.

When flammable liquid is sprayed or used for flushing or cleaning the equipment, the turbine must

be placed at least 20 feet (6.1 m) away from areas where hazardous concentrations of flammable

vapors are likely to occur

Use additional air hose if necessary to ensure that the turbine is operated in a clean, dry

, well

ventilated area.

Never place the turbine inside a spray booth!

Use this equipment outdoors or in extremely well

ventilated areas.

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

Electrically disconnect all equipment in the spray area.

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

Do not smoke in the spray area.

Do not turn on or of

f any light switch in the spray area while operating or if fumes are present.

Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.

WARNING

TOXIC FLUID HAZARD

Hazardous

fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin,

inhaled, or swallowed.

. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local,

state and national guidelines.

Always wear protective eyewear

, gloves, clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and

solvent manufacturer

Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or

fluids containing such solvents in the turbine spray system, which contains aluminum and/or galva

nized-coated parts. Such use could result in a serious chemical reaction, with the possibility of

explosion, which could cause death, serious injury

, and/or substantial property damage.

General

Information

The

Series 700, 800 and 900 T

urbine Spray Guns can

spray most coatings or finishes currently being used

for automotive refinish, industrial, aerospace, marine,

wood, plastic and architectural applications.

This spray gun typically utilizes 5 psi (0.34 bar) for

Series 700 and Series 800 and 6 psi (0.41 bar) for the

Series 900 inbound air pressure to produce high

quality paint finishes. The gun produces a cone of air

that carries and directs the paint from the gun to the

surface, minimizing overspray and increasing transfer

efficiency

. This enables painters to comply with new

clean air laws that are designed to reduce VOC (vola

tile organic compounds) emissions, eases paint

application by requiring fewer paint passes to obtain

coverage, and saves on both material and clean-up

time.

Refer to the turbine gun manual, 308–336, for more

information on the operation and use of the turbine

spray gun.

Unpack the Graco T

urbine Sprayer from the shipping

carton and inspect for any possible shipping damage.

If necessary

Setup

NOTE:

Refer to the turbine gun manual, 308–336, for

information on the operation and setup of the gun.

Connect the Fluid and Air Supply

1. Connect

the hose to the gun.

Connect the gun air supply hose (A) between the

turbine air outlet (D) and the gun air inlet. DO

NOT use a wrench to tighten connections; hand–

tighten only

. See Fig. 1.

If using a spray gun cup (B),

connect the cup to

the gun fluid inlet.

For Series 800 only: If using an accessory remote

pressure pot (C),

connect the fluid supply hose (G)

between the gun fluid inlet and the remote pres

sure pot.

Connect the air hose (E) between the pressure pot

air inlet and the compressor air outlet (F).

NOTES:

The circled letters in Fig. 1 indicate hose line con

nections.

Only the Series 800 turbine unit includes a com

pressor for use with a remote pressure pot.

Connect to Electric Supply

1. Plug

the sprayer power cord into a grounded

outlet.

If an extension cord is used, it must be 3-wire, 12

WG and 100 ft or less in length.

Setup

Grounding

WARNING

FIRE

AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Before operating the turbine sprayer

ground the system as explained below

Also read the section

FIRE OR EXPLO

SION HAZARD

on page 2.

Turbine:

Plug the turbine power supply cord into a

properly grounded outlet. Do not remove the

grounding prong from the power cord. Do not use

an adapter

Extension cords:

Extension cords must have three

wires and be rated for a minimum of 15 amps.

Fluid supply container:

follow your local code.

Object being sprayed:

follow your local code.

Prepare the Fluid

1. Always

strain the fluid before spraying; this

includes color

, reducer and hardeners if used.

When using a turbine spray system, you need to

use a slower drying reducer or thinner to compen

sate for the faster drying time caused by the warm

air of the turbine.

Do not over reduce.

CAUTION

The performance of the turbine sprayer will vary

with the viscosity of the material. Unnecessary hose

length will cause the air pressure to drop.

Paint Reduction – Automotive Type Finishes

Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer

’

s speci

fications. T

o compensate for the faster drying time of

turbine systems, use a reducer one-step slower than

what is used for conventional air spray

Paint Reduction – Industrial or Domestic Coatings

Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer

’

s speci

fications. If no reductions are given, first thoroughly

mix the fluid to be sprayed. Then gradually mix in the

proper reducer

, testing the fluid until you have the

correct spraying consistency

o test the consistency:

Remove the stir stick from the

thinned paint. When the paint stream running of

f the

stir stick breaks into droplets, the first few drops should

be about one second apart.

Setup

Fill the Cup or Remote Pressure Pot

Spray Gun Cup

WARNING

The spray gun cup is pressurized by the gun’

supply. T

o reduce the risk of serious injury from

pressurized fluid or accidental spray from the gun,

always turn of

f the air supply to the gun before

removing the spray gun cup.

Only fill the cup 3/4 full to help keep the air pressure

tube clean, then install the cover

. The under-cup cover

has a latch (H) to secure it to the cup. The over-cup

has a ring with notches (J) that secures the cup hood

into place when locked in place on the cup.

CAUTION

If the 2 quart remote pressure pot is accidentally

tipped over or held at too great of an angle, fluid may

leak into the air regulator

Operating the Turbine

WARNING

Sparking

can be expected in the normal operation

of the turbine motor

. Sparks could ignite fumes

from flammable liquid, dust particles and other

flammable substances in the spray area, and

cause serious injury and property damage. Be sure

to follow the precautions below:

When flammable liquid is sprayed or used for

flushing or cleaning equipment, the turbine must

be placed at least 20 feet (6.1 m) away from

areas where hazardous concentrations of

flammable vapors are likely to occur

Use additional air hose if necessary to ensure

that the turbine is operated in a clean, dry

, well

ventilated area.

Never place the turbine inside a spray booth!

Use this equipment outdoors or in extremely

well ventilated areas.

void all ignition sources such as static electric

ity from plastic drop cloths, open flames such as

pilot lights, hot objects such as cigarettes, arcs

from connecting or disconnecting power cords

or turning light switches on and of

f. Extinguish

or remove all sources of ignition.

1. T

urn the turbine on a few minutes before you start

spraying to allow for warm-up time.

NOTE:

When the turbine is not in use for an extended

period of time, turn it of

f. The turbine does not shut of

automatically.

Be sure the turbine filter is clean before operating.

See page 12 to check and clean the filter

NOTE:

o adjust the spray gun pattern, see the

turbine gun manual 308–336.

Series 800 Cold W

eather Operation

urbine Spray Model Series 800 has a diaphragm

compressor

. When this compressors is new

, the

diaphragm will become stiff in cold weather

. If cold

enough, the stif

f diaphragm will not allow the compres

sor to start (the unit will hum). If this occurs, follow

these steps:

1. T

urn the turbine and compressor of

Unplug the turbine from the power source.

Loosen the four main filter screws and remove the

filter; replace the main filter and pre-filter if they

are dirty

Hand spin the cooling fan on the compressor for a

few revolutions.

Reassemble the turbine.

Plug in the turbine and turn compressor on. The

compressor should start.
