309662 3

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

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:

DUse equipment only in well ventilated area.

DEliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic

drop clothes (potential static arc).

DSprayer generates sparks. When flammable liquid is used in or near sprayer or for flushing or

cleaning, keep sprayer at least 20 ft (6 m) away from explosive vapors.

DDo not clean with materials having flash points lower than 70_F(21_C). Use water--based materi-

als or mineral spirits type material only. For complete information about your fluid, request the

MSDS from the fluid distributor or retailer.

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

DDo not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.

DGround equipment and conductive objects in work area. Read Grounding instructions.

DIf there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operating immediately. Do not use equipment

until you identify and correct the problem.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

High pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like

just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.

DDo not point gun at anyone or any part of the body.

DDo not put your hand over the spray tip.

DDo not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.

DEngage trigger lock when not spraying.

DFollow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,

checking or servicing equipment.

PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD

Do not 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

damage.

4 309662

WARNING

INSTRUCTIONS

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

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

DUse equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your Graco distributor for information.

DDo not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system

component. This gun has a 150 psi (10 bar) maximum fluid working pressure at a 125 psi (9

bar) maximum incoming air pressure. Read Technical Data in all equipment manuals.

DDo not alter or modify equipment.

DCheck equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

DDo not lift pressurized equipment.

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

expose Graco hoses to temperatures above 180_F(82_C) or below --40_F(--40_C).

DDo not use hoses to pull equipment.

DKeep children and animals away from work area.

DComply with all applicable safety regulations.

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

fluids containing such solvents in this equipment, which contains aluminum and/or zinc 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.

DWear eye and ear protection when operating this equipment. Keep body parts away from front of

gun. See Sound Data in TECHNICAL DATA.

TOXIC FLUID HAZARD

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

swallowed.

DRead MSDS’s to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.

DStore hazardous fluid in approved containers and dispose of it according to all applicable guide-

lines.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating

area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic

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

DProtective eye wear.

DClothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer.

DGloves.

DHearing protection.

Component Description

Flow and Air Control

Fig. 1. The flow control (A) has a shut off and pressure

relief feature to soft start each time the gun is trig-

gered, instead of a blast of unatomized material. The

flow control has three modes:

DLOW/MED/HIGH: Triggering the gun sends an air

signal to the flow control that closes the prime valve

and starts the pump which fills the material hose.

When the gun trigger is released, the prime valve

opens and relieves the system pressure into the

supply container. When the gun is triggered the

automatic pressure relief, special TexSpray hoses

and pump design eliminate blasts of material and

spray pulsing to ensure consistent atomization.

DOFF: Puts the sprayer in neutral/relieve pressure --

neither the pump nor the gun will operate and there

is no material pressure in the pump, hose or gun.

DPRIME: The prime valve remains open so material

circulates through the pump and back to the supply

container through the drain hose.

The air control (B) increases or decreases the air

pressure to the sprayer from the air supply.

TexSpray Gun, 235490

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

The TexSpray Gun 235490 is for use

only with the GM 1030 TexSpray 234113

which is designed so the fluid pressure

of the gun will not exceed the working pressure

rating of the components. The maximum fluid work-

ing pressure of the GM 1030 TexSpray is 750 psi

(5.1 MPa, 51 bar), but the recommended maximum

is 500 psi (3.4 MPa, 34 bar).

WARNING

INSTRUCTIONS

Fig. 2. Air flow is controlled at the gun. During priming,

turn the gun air control valve (D) in fully to prevent air

from mixing with the fluid, which allows you to check

and adjust the fluid flow accurately. (When this valve is

closed the air exits the rear of the gun.) During opera-

tion, open the air control valve to introduce air at the

correct volume for the desired spray pattern. The gun

also has a trigger bail (E) to reduce operator fatigue

when spraying large surfaces.

TexSpray Hoses

CAUTION

Use Graco hoses designed for this sprayer. Using

other hoses will damage the flow control.

Maintenance

UTION

DFor detailed engine maintenance and specifica-

tions, refer to separate HONDA engine manual.

DClose black fuel shutoff lever whenever you are

transporting sprayer to prevent fuel from flooding

engine.

DKeep sprayer upright and level when operating it

and when transporting it. This prevents crankcase

oil from leaking into combustion chamber, which

makes startup very difficult.

Daily: Check engine oil level and fill as needed.

Daily: Check and fill gas tank.

Daily: Check sprayer air filter, clean and replace

element as needed.

After first 20 hours of operation and each 100

hours thereafter: Change oil.

Weekly: Remove engine air filter cover and clean

element. In very dusty environments, check filter daily.

Replace element as needed. Replacement elements

can be purchased from your local HONDA dealer.

Spark plug: Use only a (NGK) BP6ES or BPR6ES

plug. Gap plug to 0.025 to 0.030 in. (0.7 to 0.8 mm).

Always use a spark plug wrench.

6 months: Clean Air Flow Sensor as follows:

1. Fig. 3. Loosen adapter (A). Pull down quick re-

lease (C) and swing out flow sensor regulator.

Disconnect connector (B).

2. Remove inlet fitting (D), retainer ring (E), piston (F)

and spring (G) from flow sensor regulator (H).

UTION

Do not scratch or nick piston (F) or inside of flow

sensor regulator (H).

3. Clean all parts (D, E, F, G). Clean inside of (H)

with a pipe cleaner.

4. Assemble all parts and install flow sensor regula-

tor.
