Supplied Components

Refer to Fig. 2.

WARNING

A red-handled bleed-type master air valve (E) and

a fluid drain valve (F) are supplied. These compo-

nents help reduce the risk of serious injury, includ-

ing fluid injection and splashing of fluid in the eyes

or on the skin, and injury from moving parts if you

are adjusting or repairing the pump.

The bleed-type master air valve relieves air trapped

between this valve and the pump after the valve is

closed. Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle

unexpectedly. Locate the valve close to the pump.

The fluid drain valve assists in relieving fluid pres-

sure in the displacement pump, hose, and gun.

Triggering the gun to relieve pressure may not be

sufficient.

DThe red-handled bleed-type master air valve (E)

is required in your system to relieve air trapped

between it and the air motor and gun when the

valve is closed (see the WARNING above). Do not

block access to the valve.

DThe pump air regulator (G) controls pump speed

and outlet pressure by adjusting the air pressure to

the pump.

DThe air relief valve (15) opens automatically to

prevent overpressurization of the pump.

DThe air inlet swivel (H) connects incoming air to

the pump.

DThe strainer (42) keeps large particles from enter-

ing the pump.

DThe fluid filter (13) includes a 60 mesh (250

micron) stainless steel element to filter particles

from the fluid as it leaves the pump. It also includes

the fluid drain valve (F), which is required in your

system to relieve fluid pressure in the hose and gun

(see the WARNING at left).

DThe agitator (39), included on Models 232437 and

232449 only, keeps the fluid in suspension.

DThe airless spray gun (106) dispenses the fluid.

The gun houses the spray tip (107), which is

available in a wide range of sizes for different spray

patterns and rates of flow.

DThe fluid hose (101) and whip hose (103) supply

fluid to the gun.

DThe gun swivel (104) allows greater gun maneu-

verability. The swivel includes an in-line filter.

Operation

Pressure Relief Procedure

WARNING

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

The system pressure must be manually

relieved to prevent the system from

starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid

under high pressure can be injected through the

skin and cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of

an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving

parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure

whenever you:

Dare instructed to relieve the pressure,

Dstop spraying,

Dcheck or service any of the system equipment,

Dor install or clean the spray tip.

1. Lock the gun trigger safety.

2. Close the red-handled bleed-type master air valve

(E, required in your system). See Fig. 3 on page

13.

3. Unlock the gun trigger safety.

4. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a

grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun to relieve

pressure.

5. Lock the gun trigger safety.

6. Open the drain valve (F, required in your system),

having a container ready to catch the drainage.

7. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to

spray again.

If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely

clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved

after following the steps above, very slowly loosen the

tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling and relieve

pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear

the tip or hose.

Packing Nut

Before starting, fill the packing nut 1/3 full with Graco

Throat Seal Liquid (TSL) or compatible solvent. See

your separate pump manual.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you

are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the

Pressure Relief Procedure at left.

The packing nut is torqued at the factory and is ready

for operation. If it becomes loose and there is leaking

from the throat packings, relieve pressure, then torque

the nut as specified in your separate pump manual. Do

this whenever necessary. Do not overtighten the

packing nut.

Flush the Pump Before First Use

The pump is tested with lightweight oil, which is left in

to protect the pump parts. If the fluid you are using

may be contaminated by the oil, flush it out with a

compatible solvent. See Flushing on page 14.
