Installation

Pump Accessories

Suction Tube Kit: A suction tube kit is available for

siphoning from 55 gallon containers.

Intake Tube: To install, apply PTFE tape to the female

threads at the top of the tube (Q). Screw the tube tightly

into the intake housing of the stubby pump.

Low-Level Cutoff Valve: To install, screw the low-level

cutoff valve into the bottom of the pump intake tube or

the suction tube. This valve closes the pump intake

when the fluid level is low, causing the pump to stall to

avoid running all day.

Pump Outlet Drain Valve: Install a drain valve (D) close

to the pump fluid outlet assist in relieving fluid pressure

in the pump, hose, and dispense valve when the pump

is shut off.

Thermal Relief Kit: Install a Thermal Relief Kit (T) at the

pump fluid outlet.

Grounding

Pump: Use a ground wire and clamp. Remove the

ground screw (Z) and insert through the eye of the ring

terminal at end of ground wire (Y). Fasten the ground

screw back onto the pump and tighten securely. Con-

nect the other end of the ground wire to a true earth

ground. (FIG. 1)

Hydraulic and fluid hoses: Use only electrically con-

ductive hoses.

Hydraulic power supply: Follow manufacturer’s recom-

mendations.

Any pails used when flushing: Use only metal,

grounded pails when flushing. Make firm metal-to-metal

contact between the metal part of the dispense valve

and the pail. Use the lowest possible pressure.

Maximum Working Pressure of Accessories

To reduce the risk of serious injury including fluid

injection and splashing in the eyes or on the skin,

which may be caused by component ruptures, all

accessories added to the reciprocator power supply

side of the pump fluid outlet side must have at least a

1500 psi (10 MPa, 103 bar) maximum working

pressure.

NOTICE

A pump outlet drain valve is required in the system.

This valve helps relieve pressure in the

displacement pump and hose when shutting down

the system and in case of a clogged outlet hose.

Install the valve hose close the pump outlet.

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.

NOTE: The installation shown in FIG. 2 is only a guide.

For assistance in designing a system to suit your needs.

Contact your Graco representative.

Mount the pump to suit the type of installation planned.

Hydraulic Power Supply

To reduce the risk of damaging the hydraulic power sup-

ply, blow out all hydraulic lines with air, flush thoroughly

with solvent, and then blow out with air again before

connecting the lines to the motor.

Always plug the hydraulic inlets, outlets, and lines when

disconnecting them to avoid introducing dirt and other

contaminants to the system.

Carefully follow the manufacturers recommendations on

reservoir and filter cleaning, and periodic changes of the

hydraulic fluid.

FIG. 2: Typical Installation

Installation

308391K 7

Hydraulic Components

Drain Line: Remove the plug (24) from the pump

adapter, and install a 1/8 inch diameter weep tube, end-

ing in a waste container. Monitor the weepage of

hydraulic fluid. If it seems excessive or increases sud-

denly, the reciprocatoror pumpthroat seals may need to

be changed. (FIG. 3)

Hydraulic Fluid Control: The hydraulic fluid control pro-

vides pressure regulator, and pump isolation. (FIG. 2)

Pressure Regulation: The hydraulic fluid control reduces

the hydraulic oil pressure to the operating pressure

required for the application.

Flow Regulation: The hydraulic fluid control limits the

maximum amount of oil flow to the motor to keep the

hydraulic motor within the cycle rate limit. This prevents

pump runaway. The limit on the Power-Star is 66 cpm.

Pump Isolation: The hydraulic fluid control has ball

valves on the supply and return sides of the manifold.

The ball valves isolate the hydraulic fluid control and

pump for servicing without stopping the hydraulic power

supply.

Always turn off the hydraulic supply side valve (K)

first to avoid possible serious injury or component

damage. See the Typical Installation on page 6.

FIG. 3

Operation

8308391K

Operation

Pressure Relief Procedure

Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever

you see this symbol.

1. Close the supply line shutoff valve, and then the

return line shutoff valve.

2. Open the dispensing valve to relieve the pressure.

3. Place a container under the drain valve to catch any

drainage. Open the pump outlet drain valve.

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

dispense again.

NOTE: If you suspect that the dispensing valve, exten-

sion, or grease fitting coupler is clogged, or that the

pressure has not been fully relieved after following the

steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen the coupler or

hose end coupling and relieve pressure gradually, then

loosen completely and clear the clog.

Before Starting the Pump

Recommended Hydraulic Oil

Use a Graco-approved Hydraulic Oil or a premium, ISO

grade 46 petroleum-based hydraulic oil containing rust

and oxidation inhibitors and anti-wear agents.

Before using any other type of oil in this motor contact

your Graco distributor. Unauthorized use of lesser grad

oil or substitutes may void the warranty.

1. Check the hydraulic fluid level in the hydraulic power

supply before each use, and add fluid as necessary

to fill the lines.

2. Flush the pump before using it for the first time to

remove the light oil that was left in after factory test-

ing to protect the pump from corrosion. Be sure the

solvent used is compatible with the fluid to be

pumped and the pump’s wetted parts. See Techni-

cal Data, page 18. Flush until clean solvent comes

from the outlet hose.

To Start the Pump

1. Turn on the hydraulic power supply.

2. Open the return line shutoff valve (H) first, and

slowly open the hydraulic supply line shutoff valve

(K). (FIG. 2)

3. Adjust the hydraulic inlet pressure from 500 to 1500

psi (3.5 to 10.3 MPa, 35 to 103 bar) with the regula-

tor control adjustment (M) on the hydraulic fluid con-

trol (A). Increasing the inlet pressure increases the

outlet pressure. Decreasing the inlet pressure

decreases the outlet pressure.

4. Always use the lowest pressure possible to obtain

the desired results. This reduces pump wear.

This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is

manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from

pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, splashing

fluid and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief

Procedure when you stop spraying and before

cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment.

Operation

5. Never allow a pump to run dry of the fluid being

pumped. A dry pump quickly speeds up and can

damage itself. If it speeds up, shut off the power

supply to the reciprocator immediately. Refill the

supply container and prime the pump to eliminate

air.

NOTE: To prevent the pump from running dry, use a

low-level cutoff valve.

Shutdown and Care

At the end of the work shift or when the pump is unat-

tended, always relieve the pressure, see Pressure Relief

Procedure on page 8.

Emergency Stop Procedure

Close the supply line shutoff valve marked STOP.

Troubleshooting
