WARNINGS

The following are general Warnings related to the safe setup, use, maintenance and repair of this

equipment. Additional, more specific warnings may be found throughout the text of this manual where

applicable.

Warning

Caution

WARNING

This symbol alerts you to the possibility of seri-

ous injury or death if you do not follow the

instructions.

CAUTION

Alerts you to the possibility of damage or destruction

of equipment if you do not follow the instructions.

WARNINGS

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:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.

• Ground equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.

• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment

until you identify and correct the problem.

Equipment Misuse Hazard

Equipment misuse can cause death or serious injury.

• Do not exceed maximum working pressure or temperature rating of lowest rated system compo-

nent. See Technical Data, in all equipment manuals.

• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all

equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.

• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

• Do not alter or modify this equipment.

• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your Graco distributor for information.

• For professional use only.

• Route hoses away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts and hot surfaces.

• Do not use hoses to pull equipment.‘

• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

Electric Shock Hazard

Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.

• Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.

• Use only grounded electrical outlets.

• Use only 3-wire extension cords.

• Ensure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.

WARNINGS

Pressurized Equipment Hazard

Compressed air can inject in skin. Air tubing rupture can cause injury if disconnected while under

pressure. To reduce risk of injury:

• Never exceed maximum working pressure of any attachment.

• Do not direct airstream at body.

• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 10 whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure, stop

spraying, service equipment, install or clean spray nozzle or disconnect or connect hose.

Cleaning Solvent Hazard with Plastic Parts

Use only compatible water-based solvents to clean plastic structural or pressure-containing parts. Many

solvents can degrade plastic parts to the point where they could fail. Such failure could cause serious

injury or property damage. See Technical Data on page 31 of this instruction manual and in all other

equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.

Personal Protective Equipment

Wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing or when in the operating area of this

equipment to help protect yourself from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic fumes,

burns and hearing loss. This equipment includes, but is not limited to:

• protective eye wear

• clothing and respirator as recommended by fluid and solvent manufacturer

• hearing protection

•gloves

CAUTION

Water or material remaining in unit when temperatures are below freezing can damage pump and/or delay startup.

To insure water and material are completely drained out of unit:

• remove hose from material outlet,

• tip sprayer forward 45° to allow material (water) to flow out of pump inlet.

Before adding material or starting unit in cold weather, circulate warm water through pump.

FUNCTION

The RTX 1500 Electric Texture

Sprayer is equipped with an

automatic material pressure and

flow device. When the operator

releases the gun trigger, the pump

pressure and flow, stops. When the

operator squeezes the gun trigger,

pump pressure and flow starts.

Triggering system will deliver a ‘Soft

Start’ of material flow.

How this works. The system

recognizes atomization air flow at

the gun by means of an air flow

sensor located inside unit.

1 Turn sprayer main power (A)

ON.

2 Open gun air valve (aa)

slightly, allowing a small

amount of air to flow with

material through gun. This

automatically delivers material

pressure and flow.

3 Aim gun (M) into hopper (C)

and squeeze gun trigger.

System Priming

Alternate Method - Using Prime Switch (P):

(If air flow with material through gun is not desired)

1 Turn sprayer main power (A)

ON.

2 Turn fluid flow regulator (K) up

as necessary

3 Close gun air valve (aa). 4 Depress and hold prime switch

(P) to start and stop flow. Aim

gun into hopper (C) and

squeeze gun trigger.

123

CAUTION

English Français Dutch

Excessive or prolonged use of

Prime Switch (P) can cause

material to back up into gun air

passages, causing blockage

and/or gun air valve failure.

Preparation

Pressure Relief Procedure

1 Turn sprayer main power (A)

OFF.

the way down.

4 Aim gun into hopper (C) or

bucket and squeeze gun trig-

ger until all air and material

pressure is relieved.
