Warnings

The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclama-

tion 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. Paint or sol-

vent flowing through the equipment can cause static sparking. To help prevent fire and explosion:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

• Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop

cloths (potential static sparking).

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

• Never spray or flush solvent at high pressure.

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

• Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes

are present.

• Use only grounded hoses.

• Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail. Do not use pail liners unless they

are anti-static or conductive.

•Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock.Do not use equipment

until you identify and correct the problem.

• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

This equipment must be grounded. Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause elec-

tric shock.

• Turn off and disconnect power at main switch before disconnecting any cables and before servicing

or installing equipment.

• Connect only to grounded power source.

• All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and comply with all local codes and

regulations.

PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD

Fluid from the equipment, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and cause

serious injury.

• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying/dispensing and before cleaning,

checking, or servicing equipment.

• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

Warnings

63A3385B

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

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

ponent. 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. For complete information

about your material, request Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from distributor or retailer.

• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine manu-

facturer’s replacement parts only.

• Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency approvals and create

safety hazards.

• Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are using it.

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

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

• Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.

• Keep children and animals away from work area.

• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

MOVING PARTS HAZARD

Moving parts can pinch, cut or amputate fingers and other body parts.

• Keep clear of moving parts.

• Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.

• Pressurized equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing equipment,

follow the Pressure Relief Procedure and disconnect all power sources.

TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD

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

swallowed.

• Read Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.

• Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.

BURN HAZARD

Equipment surfaces and fluid that is heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe

burns:

• Do not touch hot fluid or equipment.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Wear appropriate protective equipment when in the work area to help prevent serious injury, including

eye injury, hearing loss, inhalation of toxic fumes, and burns. Protective equipment includes but is not

limited to:

• Protective eyewear, and hearing protection.

• Respirators, protective clothing, and gloves as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer.

Overview

3A3385B 7

Overview

An electric motor (B) provides input to a 75:1 gear

reducer (GR), which drives two fluid pumps (FP). See

FIG. 1. The stroke positions of the two pumps are offset

to achieve consistent flow from the pump assembly. See

FIG. 2.

The optional sensor circuit includes a top dead center

(TDC) sensor which assists software in measuring

motor speed, and a pressure transducer (PT) with circuit

board, which measures fluid pressure at the pump out-

let. The Graco VFD software mimics the effect of a cam-

shaft, constantly adjusting motor speed to keep steady

fluid flow and achieve minimal pressure variation. The

output shaft of the gearbox and the connecting rods

experience the effect of the imaginary camshaft by

speeding up when the pressure drops (pump lower is at

a changeover) and slowing down when pressure

increases (both lowers are pumping).

The VFD can be controlled by a local control box

mounted in the hazardous area, via communication pro-

tocol (such as modbus), or directly from the keypad.

FIG. 3 shows a layout of a typical North American sys-

tem. The pump (A) may be controlled by a local control

box (C) mounted in the hazardous area, a variable fre-

quency drive (D) mounted in the non-hazardous area, or

remotely from a computer (Y). See manual 311592 for

pump and accessory installation information.

Ground the System

3A3385B 9

Ground the System

Ground the following equipment:

•Pump: use ground screw (GS) to attach a ground

wire (Z) to the pump. Tighten the screw securely.

Connect the other end of the ground wire to a true

earth ground.

•Variable frequency drive: grounded through proper

connection to power source.

•Local control box: follow your local code.

•Fluid supply container: follow your local code.

•Solvent pails used when flushing: follow your local

code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,

placed on a grounded surface. Do not place pail on

a non-conductive surface, such as paper, plastic, or

cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.

•To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or

relieving pressure: Hold metal part of the spray gun

or valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail,

then trigger the gun or open the valve.

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the

risk of static sparking and electric shock. Electric or

static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or

explode. Improper grounding can cause electric

shock. Grounding provides an escape wire for the

electric current.
