cleaned up with soap and water. Your sprayer is compatible with this type of
material. Your sprayer is NOT compatible with harsh cleaners such as chlorine
bleach.
FLAMMABLE: This type of material contains flammable solvents such as xylene,
toluene, naphtha, MEK, lacquer thinner, acetone, denatured alcohol, and
turpentine. The container label should indicate that this material is
FLAMMABLE. This type of material is NOT compatible with your sprayer
and CANNOT be used.
NOTICE

Warnings
The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this
equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard
symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these symbols appear in the body of this
manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbols
and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where
applicable.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or
explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:
•Do not spray or clean with materials having flash points lower than 100°F (38°C).
Use only non-flammable or water-based materials, or non-flammable paint
thinners. For complete information about your material, request the Safety Data
Sheets (SDSs) from the material distributor or retailer.
•Do not spray combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition
such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
•Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static
electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of
paint or solvent fumes. All parts of the spray system, including the sprayer and
objects in and around the spray area shall be properly grounded to protect
against static discharge and sparks.
•Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static
discharge. Do not use pail liners unless they are anti-static or conductive.
•Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a static
charge. Do not use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
•Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
•Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving
through the area.
•Sprayer generates sparks. Keep pump assembly in a well-ventilated when

•Do not smoke in the spray area or spray where sparks or flame is present.
•Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in
the spray area.
•Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other
flammable materials.
•Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Safety
Data Sheets (SDSs) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents.
Follow the paint and solvent manufacturer's safety instructions.
•Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

try to stop leaks with any part of the body.
•Always use the spray tip guard. Do not spray without spray tip guard in place.
•Use Graco spray tips.
•Use caution when cleaning and changing spray tips. In the case where the spray
tip clogs while spraying, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off
the unit and relieving the pressure before removing the spray tip to clean.

are using it.
Warnings
3A4749D 7
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Use of fluids that are incompatible with aluminum in pressurized equipment can
cause serious chemical reaction and equipment rupture. Failure to follow this
warning can result in death, serious injury, or property damage.
•Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated
hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such solvents.
•Do not use chlorine bleach.
•Many other fluids may contain chemicals that can react with aluminum. Contact
your material supplier for compatibility.

Know Your Controls
Prime Knob
The Prime Knob directs fluid to either the cup
or the Spray Tip. When priming, it is used to
purge air from the pump. Your sprayer will
not spray with air in the pump.
Turn Prime Knob down to PRIME position
when priming the sprayer or to relieve
system pressure.
Turn Prime Knob forward to SPRAY position
to spray fluid.
VacuValve
The VacuValve is used to evacuate air out of
the FlexLiner. This is necessary for the
sprayer to prime.
Spray Tip
The Spray Tip is the key to airless spray
technology. High pressure paint pumped
through the very small hole in the Spray Tip
comes out as a spray.
The Spray Tip has the ability to be reversed
and quickly clear clogs.
Trigger
The Trigger controls the operation of the
sprayer.
Speed Control
The Speed Control allows you to slow down
or speed up when spraying.

Setup
Pressure Relief Procedure
1.
Turn Prime Knob down to PRIME position
to relieve pressure
.
Sprayer Setup
NOTE: Do NOT shake materials to be used
with this sprayer. Some fine finish lacquers
and enamels trap air when shaken, which
can affect sprayer performance. Stir the
material or check the manufacturer’s
recommendation for the material being
sprayed.
1. Insert one FlexLiner into the Cup
Support.
NOTE: Verify there is no damage to the top
sealing edge of the FlexLiner, such as a
crease or fold. If damaged it will leak air and
lose prime.
This sprayer builds up an internal
pressure of 2000 psi (138 bar, 13.8 MPa)
during use. Follow this Pressure Relief
Procedure whenever you stop spraying
and before cleaning, checking, servicing,
or transporting equipment to prevent
serious injury from pressurized fluid.
Use only water-based materials. Do not
use materials which state “FLAMMABLE”
on the packaging. For more information
about your material, request a Safety Data
Sheet (SDS) from distributor or retailer.
Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a
good supply of fresh air moving through
the area.
