WarningsWarningsThe following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of thisequipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazardsymbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these symbols appear in the body of thismanual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbolsand warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manualwhere applicable.GROUNDINGThis product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reducesthe risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product isequipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plugmust be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with alllocal codes and ordinances. Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock.When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the groundingwire to either flat blade terminal.The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripesis the grounding wire.Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are notcompletely understood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installedby a qualified electrician.This product is for use on a nominal 120 V or 230 V circuit and has a grounding plug similarto the plugs illustrated in the figure below.120V US230V230V ANZti24583a Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.Do not use a 3-to-2 adapter with this product.Extension Cords: Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a grounding plug and a grounding receptacle thataccepts the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. If an extension cord is necessary, use 12AWG(2.5 mm2) minimum to carry the current that the product draws. An undersized cord results in a drop in line voltage and loss of power and overheating.43A6519B
WarningsFIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDFlammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. Tohelp prevent fire and explosion: Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame or sources ofignition such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment. Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static electricity. Staticelectricity creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes. Allparts of the spray system, including the pump, hose assembly, spray gun, and objectsin and around the spray area shall be properly grounded to protect against staticdischarge and sparks. Use Graco conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paintsprayer hoses. Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent staticdischarge. Do not use pail liners unless they are anti-static or conductive. Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extensions cords. Do not use a 3-to-2adapter. Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons. Do not spray flammable or combustible liquids in a confined area. Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through thearea. Sprayer generates sparks. Keep pump assembly in a well-ventilated area at least 20feet (6.1 m) from the spray area when spraying, flushing, cleaning, or servicing. Do notspray pump assembly. Do not smoke in the spray area or spray where sparks or flame is present. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the sprayarea. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammablematerials. Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Safety DataSheets (SDSs) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow thepaint and solvent manufacturer’s safety instructions.

WarningsSKIN INJECTION HAZARDHigh-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In theevent that injection occurs, get immediate surgical treatment. Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal. Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stopleaks with any part of the body. Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without nozzle tip guard in place. Use Graco nozzle tips. Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogswhile spraying, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit and relievingthe pressure before removing the nozzle tip to clean. Equipment maintains pressure after power is shut off. Do not leave the equipmentenergized or under pressure while unattended. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedurewhen the equipment is unattended or not in use, and before servicing, cleaning, orremoving parts. Check hoses and parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged hoses or parts. This system is capable of producing 3300 psi. Use Graco replacement parts or accessoriesthat are rated a minimum of 3300 psi. Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioningproperly. Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit. Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with thecontrols.EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARDMisuse can cause death or serious injury. Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, and a respirator or mask when painting. Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from equipment at all times. Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep effective footing and balance atall times. Stay alert and watch what you are doing. Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Do not kink or over-bend the hose. Do not expose the hose to temperatures or to pressures in excess of those specified byGraco. Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the equipment. Do not spray with a hose shorter than 25 feet. Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency approvalsand create safety hazards. Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are usingit.63A6519B
WarningsELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARDThis equipment must be grounded. Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system cancause electric shock. Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.
