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 Signs
Mount warning signs in the spray area where they can
easily be seen and read by all operators. An English
Warning Sign is provided with the gun. Additional
English, French, German, and Spanish signs are avail-
able at no charge. See Accessories to order them.
4. Install a bleed-type air shutoff valve on the main air
line (C) and the pump air line (E) to shut off air to
the pump. Install an additional bleed-type valve on
each pump air supply line to relieve air trapped
between this valve and the pump after the air
regulator is shut off.
Ventilate the Spray Booth
WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
WARNING
LAMMABLE OR TOXIC
APOR HAZARD
rovide fresh air ventilation to avoid the
buildup of flammable or toxic vapors. Do
not operate the gun unless ventilation
fans are operating.
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.
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).

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
must not wear gloves that insulate the hand from
the spray gun. The gloves must be conductive or
modified as shown in Fig. 3, page 11.
4. Connect the fluid line to the 3/8–18.6(m) gun fluid
inlet (W).
5. Before running any paint through the spray gun,
flush it out with a compatible solvent.
7. Object being sprayed: keep the workpiece hangers
clean and grounded at all times. Contact points
must be sharp points or like knife edges.

Test Power Supply Resistance (See Fig. 9)
Test Resistor Stud Resistance (See Fig. 10)
Remove the power supply (18) from the gun. See
Power Supply Removal and Replacement, page 27.
Remove the resistor stud (22). See Air Cap/Nozzle/
Resistor Stud Replacement, page 22. Check the
resistance between the black resistor stud contact ring
(D) and the needle contact ring (E). You may have to
press down on the contact ring (D) in several places to
get a good reading.
Remove the turbine alternator from the power supply.
See Turbine Alternator Removal and Replacement,
page 28.
Measure the resistance from the power supply’s
ground contact point (EE) to the contact inside of the
power supply seal (B) [the conductive rubber contact
may be slightly recessed into the seal].
The resistance should be 21 to 29 megohms. If the
resistance is correct, make sure the metal contact in
the gun barrel and the needle contact ring (E) are
clean. If the resistance is outside the specified range,
the resistor is defective and the resistor stud (2) must
be replaced. See Air Cap/Nozzle/Resistor Stud
Replacement.
The resistance should be 297 to 363 megohms. If the
resistance is outside the specified range, the power
supply is defective and must be replaced. If the resis-
tance of the power supply is correct, proceed to the
next test.
If you still have problems, refer to Electrical
Troubleshooting for other possible causes of poor
performance, or contact the nearest authorized service
agency.
WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
NOTE: Be sure the seal (B) is in place on the end of
the power supply before installing the power supply
back into the gun.
The resistor stud contact ring (D) is a
conductive contact ring, not a sealing
o-ring. See Fig. 10. To reduce the risk of
sparking or electric shock, do not
remove the resistor stud contact ring (D)
or operate the gun without the contact
ring in place. Do not replace the resistor
stud (22) with anything but a genuine
Graco part.
