Warnings
Warnings
The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance and repair of this equipment. The
exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbol refers to procedure-spe-
cific risks. Refer back to these warnings. Additional, product-specific warnings may be found throughout
the body of this manual where applicable.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
GROUNDING
• 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 grounding wire
to either flat blade terminal.
• The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the grounding wire.
• Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not com-
pletely 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 installed by
a qualified electrician.
• This product is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the plug
illustrated in the figure below.
ti9164a
• Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
• Do not use an adapter with this product.
Extension Cords:
• Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle
that accepts the plug on the product.
• Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. If an extension cord is necessary, use 12
AWG
(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.

Warnings
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help
prevent fire and explosion:
• Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition
such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment. For X5 and X7 models: only use
water-based or mineral spirit-type materials with a flash point greater than 70° F (21° C).
• Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static electricity. Static elec-
tricity creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes. All parts of
the spray system, including the pump, hose assembly, spray gun, and objects in and around
the spray area shall be properly grounded to protect against static discharge and sparks. Use
Graco conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses.
• Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge.
• Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extensions cords. Do not use a 3-to-2
adapter.
• Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
• Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
Keep pump assembly in a well ventilated area. Do not spray pump assembly.
• Do not smoke in the spray area.
• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray area.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable materials.
• Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint
and solvents manufacturer’s safety instructions.
• Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
• Sprayer generates sparks. When flammable liquid is used in or near the sprayer or for flushing
or cleaning, keep sprayer at least 20 feet (6 m) away from explosive vapors.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
• 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 stop
leaks 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 clogs
while spraying, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit and relieving the
pressure before removing the nozzle tip to clean.
• Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while unattended. When the unit is not in
use, turn off the unit and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit.
• High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the
event that injection occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.
• Check hoses and parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged hoses or parts.
• This system is capable of producing 3000 psi. Use Graco replacement parts or accessories
that are rated a minimum of 3000 psi.
• Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioning prop-
erly.
• Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit.
• Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.

Warnings
WARNING
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse 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 at all
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 by Graco.
• Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the equipment.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.
• Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.
• Use only grounded electrical outlets.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords.
• Ensure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.
• Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Do not use 1, 1, 1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or
fluids containing such solvents in pressurized aluminum equipment. Such use can cause serious
chemical reaction and equipment rupture, and result in death, serious injury, and property dam-
age.
BURN HAZARD
Equipment surfaces can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe burns, do not touch
hot equipment. Wait until equipment has cooled completely.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch or amputate fingers and other body parts.
• Keep clear of moving parts.
• Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.
• Pressurized equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing
equipment, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual. Disconnect power or air
supply.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled,
or swallowed.
• Read MSDS’s to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
• Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guide-
lines.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operat-
ing area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of
toxic fumes, burns, and hearing loss. This equipment includes but is not limited to:
• Protective eye wear
• Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer
• Gloves
• Hearing protection
