Pressure Relief Procedure
1.
Engage the trigger lock.
2.
Close the bleed-type master air valve.
3.
Disengage the trigger lock.
4.
Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to a grounded
metal pail. Trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
5.
Engage the trigger lock.
6.
Open all fluid drain valves in the system, having a
waste container ready to catch drainage. Leave
drain valve(s) open until you are ready to spray
again.
7.
If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged or
that pressure has not been fully relieved after follow-
ing the steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen tip
guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve
pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Clear
hose or tip obstruction.
Flush Before Using Equipment
The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is
left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid con-
taminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment with a
compatible solvent before using the equipment. See
Maintenance, page 13.
Trigger Lock
Always engage the trigger lock when you stop spraying
to prevent the gun from being triggered accidentally by
hand or if dropped or bumped.
Wet Cup
Before starting, fill wet cup (T) 1/3 full with Graco Throat
Seal Liquid (TSL) or compatible solvent.
Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly,
which could result in serious injury from splashing or
moving parts.
