Introduction
How the Electrostatic Air Spray Gun Works
The air hose supplies air to the spray gun. Part of the
air operates the turbine and the rest of the air atomizes
the fluid being sprayed. The turbine generates power,
which is converted by the power cartridge, to supply
high voltage current to the gun’s ionizing electrode.
The pump supplies fluid to the hose and gun, where
the fluid is electrostatically charged as it passes the
electrode. The charged fluid is attracted to the
grounded workpiece, wrapping around and evenly
coating all surfaces.
Converting a PRO 3500sc Gun
to a PRO 3500hc Gun
NOTE: See page 38 to order Conversion Kit 223451.
5. Replace the existing fluid packing cartridge (K)
with the new cartridge (28) supplied with Conver-
sion Kit 223451. See Fig. D.
1. Remove the air cap, nozzle/resistor stud, and
electrode as described in Electrode Replacement
(page 25).
6. Install the threaded fitting, located on the tube
assembly (12), into the gun barrel. See Fig. D.
Turn the fitting until the o-ring (12b) is com-
pressed.
2. Remove the fluid seal (A), fitting (B), tube (C), nut
(D), and ferrules (E) from the gun. See Fig. A.
7. Wrap the tube around the barrel. See Fig. D.
8. Slide the shroud (10) up the fluid tube (12), as
shown in Fig. B.
CAUTION
To ensure proper installation of the new parts, make
sure that the fluid seal (A) does not remain in the gun
barrel.
9. Pull the shroud upward as you press it onto the
barrel, as shown in Fig. C. Be sure the hose is
completely inside the shroud before pressing the
shroud onto the barrel.
3. Using a soft brush and solvent, carefully clean
area inside of the barrel where the fluid seal (A)
used to be.
10. Install the trigger (M).
11. Install the electrode, nozzle/resistor stud, and air
cap as described in Electrode Replacement
(page 25).
4. Remove the trigger (M).

Installation
NOTE: High velocity air exhaust will decrease the
Installing the System
operating efficiency of the electrostatic system. Air
exhaust velocity of 100 ft/min (31 linear meters/minute)
should be sufficient.
WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Connect the Air Line (Refer to Fig. 1)
Installing and servicing this equipment
requires access to parts which may
cause electric shock or other serious
injury if work is not performed properly.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
To reduce the risk of electric shock or
other serious injury, the air supply hose
must be electrically connected to a true
earth ground. Use Only Graco Electrically Con-
ductive Air Supply Hose.
D Do not install or service this equip-
ment unless you are trained and
qualified.
D Be sure your installation complies with National,
State and Local codes for the installation of
electrical apparatus in a Class I, Group D
Hazardous Location.
1. Connect the Graco Electrically Conductive Air
Supply Hose (R) between the air supply line and
the gun’s air inlet (V). The gun air inlet fitting has a
left hand thread. Connect the air supply hose
ground wire to a true earth ground.
D Comply with all applicable local, state, and
national fire, electrical, and other safety regula-
tions.
2. Install an air line filter (O) and an air and water
separator (D) on the air line to ensure a dry, clean
air supply to the gun. Dirt and moisture can ruin
the appearance of your finished workpiece and can
cause the gun to malfunction.
Fig. 1 shows a typical electrostatic air spray system.
It is not an actual system design. The particular type
and size system for your operation must be custom
designed for your needs. For assistance in designing a
system, contact your Graco distributor.
3. Install a bleed-type air regulator (G) on the pump
and gun air supply lines to control air pressure to
the pump and gun.

WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
WARNING
FLAMMABLE OR TOXIC
The bleed-type air shutoff valve is required in your
system to relieve air trapped between this valve
and the pump after the air regulator is closed.
Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpect-
edly, which could result in serious injury, including
splashing in the eyes or on the skin.
VAPOR HAZARD
Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the
buildup of flammable or toxic vapors. Do
not operate the gun unless ventilation
fans are operating.
5. Install an air line lubricator (F) as close to the
pump (H) as possible.
Electrically interlock the gun air supply with the ventila-
tors to prevent gun operation without ventilating fans
operating. Check and follow all National, State, and
Local codes regarding air exhaust velocity
requirements.
6. Install an air shutoff valve ( P) on each gun air
supply line to shut off air to the gun(s).

a basic electrostatic system. Your system may include
other equipment or objects which must be grounded.
Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding
instructions. Your system must be connected to a true
earth ground.
Press the exhaust tube (provided) onto the barbed
adapter on the bottom of the gun handle. Secure the
tube with the clamp provided. Refer to page 36.
Connect the Fluid Line (Refer to Fig. 1)
1. Pump: ground the pump by connecting a ground
wire and clamp as described in your separate
pump instruction manual.

air and flush it with solvent. Use solvent which is
compatible with the fluid to be sprayed.
2. Air compressors and hydraulic power supplies:
ground the equipment according to the manufac-
turer’s recommendations.
2. Install a fluid regulator (M) on the fluid line to
control fluid pressure to the gun.
3. Electrostatic Air Spray Gun: ground the gun by
connecting the Graco Electrically Conductive Air
Hose and connecting the air hose ground wire to a
true earth ground. Check the electrical grounding
of the gun as instructed on page 11.
3. Install a fluid filter (K) and drain valve (U) at the

WARNING
4. All air and fluid lines must be properly grounded.
Use only grounded hoses with a maximum of 500
feet (150 m) combined hose length to ensure
grounding continuity.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
The fluid drain valve (U) is required in your system
to assist in relieving fluid pressure in the displace-
ment pump, hose and gun; triggering the gun to
relieve pressure may not be sufficient. Install a
drain valve close to the pump’s fluid outlet. The
drain valve reduces the risk of serious injury,
including splashing in the eyes or on the skin.
5. All electric cables must be properly grounded.
6. All persons entering the spray area: their shoes
must have conductive soles, such as leather, or
personal grounding straps must be worn. Rubber
or plastic soles are not conductive. The operator

Electrical Tests
Test Power Supply Resistance
Test Resistor Stud Resistance
Remove the power cartridge (18) from the gun handle.
See Power Cartridge Replacement on page 29.
Insert a conductive rod (B) into the gun barrel (re-
moved for the power supply test) and against the metal
contact (C) in the front of the barrel. See Fig. 9.
Remove the turbine alternator from the power car-
tridge. See Turbine Alternator Removal on page 30.
Measure the resistance from the power supply’s
ground contact point (EE) to the contact spring (18c)
on the other end of the power supply. See Fig. 8.
Measure the resistance between the conductive rod
(B) and the gun electrode (20). The resistance should
be 21 to 29 megohms. If the resistance is correct, refer
to the Electrical Troubleshooting chart on page 20
for other possible causes of poor performance or
contact the nearest authorized service agency.
The resistance should be 157.5 to 192.5 megohms. If
the resistance is outside the specified range, the
power supply is defective and must be replaced. If the
resistance of the power supply is correct, proceed to
the next test.
If you still have problems, refer to the Electrical
Troubleshooting chart on page 20 for other possible
causes of poor performance, or contact the nearest
authorized service agency.
