EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

INSTRUCTIONS
2 306860
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely
serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin can also
cause serious injury.
D Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate medical attention.
D Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
D Keep your hands away from the end of the drain valve when opening it.
D Lock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7 if the spray tip clogs and before cleaning,
checking or servicing the equipment.
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7 before removing the regulators adjusting knob.
D Do not pressurize the system when the back pressure regulators adjusting knob is removed.
D Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
Do not repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.
D Use only Graco approved hoses. Do not remove the spring guard that is used to help protect the
hose from rupture caused by kinks or bends near the couplings.

Operation
Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
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:
D are instructed to relieve the pressure,
D stop spraying,
D check or service any of the system equipment,
D or install or clean the spray tip.
1. Lock the gun trigger safety.
2. Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in
your system).
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.

Maintenance
WARNING
COMPONENT RUPTURE HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including fluid injection or splashing in
the eyes or on the skin, always follow
the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7 before
adjusting, cleaning, repairing, or removing the regulator from the system.
Repairing
Reference numbers marked with an asterisk (for
example, 3*) are included in the repair kits, which may
be purchased separately. For Models 206819 and
222405, order Repair Kit 220135. For Model 238926,
order Repair Kit 239000. See page 9.
1. Lubricate the piston packing (9*), piston (13*), and
spring locater (10) with lithium base grease.
Never pressurize the system with the back pressure regulator adjusting knob removed.
Flushing
Flush the regulator whenever the rest of the system is
flushed. Before flushing, open the regulator by turning
the adjusting knob counterclockwise until the spring
tension is relieved.
NOTE: Do not allow paint or solvent to set in the
system for a long time. Fluid could dry on the piston,
causing leakage at the piston packing. If leakage
occurs, disassemble and clean the regulator.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning and inspection, and lubrication of the
regulator are necessary to keep the regulator working
properly.
1. Open the regulator and follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure on page 7.
2. Remove the back pressure regulator from the
system.
3. Disassemble the regulator, referring to the parts
drawing on page 9. Clean and inspect all parts.
CAUTION
Use special care when handling the hard carbide
portions of the piston (13) and seat (12). Damage will
cause poor operation and leakage.

4. Insert the piston (13*) into the bottom of the cylinder (4) and gently work it into place.
5. Reassemble the remaining parts in reverse order
of disassembly. Make sure the gasket (3*) and
o-ring (7*) are in place. Torque the regulator seat
(12*) into the housing (5) to 175 to 200 in-lb (20 to
22 NSm). Over-tightening could break off the hex
portion of the seat.
