Fig. 2 is only a guide for selecting and installing
system components and accessories. Contact your
Graco distributor for assistance in designing a
system to suit your particular needs.
Prepare the Operator
All
persons who operate the equipment must be
trained in the safe, ef
ficient operation of all system
components as well as the proper handling of all fluids.
All operators must thoroughly read all instruction
manuals, tags, and labels before operating the
equipment.
Prepare the Site
Ensure
that you have an adequate compressed air
supply
. Refer to the performance chart on page 15 to
find the air consumption of your pump.
Keep the site clear of any obstacles or debris that
could interfere with the operator
’
s movement.
Have a grounded, metal pail available for use when
flushing the system.
Mounting the Pump
Mount
the pump (A) to suit the type of installation
planned. The pump dimensions and mounting hole
layout are shown on page 13. If you are using a wall
bracket (B), check that the wall is strong enough to
support the weight of the equipment, hoses, fluid, and
stress caused when the pump is in operation. Mount
the wall bracket 1.5 m (5 ft) above the floor
.
