Installation
General Information
The typical installations shown in Figs. 2-4 are only
guides for selecting and installing system compo-
nents. Contact your Graco distributor for assistance
in planning a system to suit your needs.
Always use genuine Graco parts and accessories.
Reference numbers and letters in parentheses refer
to the callouts in the figures and the parts lists on
pages 28-30, 36-38, and 44-46.
Tightening Clamps Before First Use
After you unpack the pump, and before you use it for the
first time, check all clamps, and tighten as necessary.
Grounding
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump
and all other equipment used or located in the pumping
area. Check your local electrical code for detailed
grounding instructions for your area and type of equip-
ment.
Pump: Connect a ground wire and clamp as shown
in Fig. 1. Loosen the grounding screw (W). Insert
one end of a 12 ga (1.5 mm²) minimum ground wire
(Y) behind the grounding screw and tighten the
screw securely. Connect the clamp end of the
ground wire to a true earth ground. Order Part No.

Fluid hoses: Use only grounded hoses with a maxi-
mum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined hose length to
ensure grounding continuity.
Air compressor: Follow the manufacturer’s recom-
mendations.
All solvent pails used when flushing: Follow the local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive.
Do not place the pail on a non-conductive surface,
such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the
grounding continuity.
Fluid supply container: Follow the local code.
The pump is very heavy (see Technical Data on pages
32, 40, and 48 for specific weights). If the pump must
be moved, follow the pressure relief procedure on
page 11 and have two people to lift the pump by grasp-
ing the outlet manifold securely or use appropriate lift-
ing equipment.
Read the TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD warn-
ings on page 5.
Read the BURN HAZARD warnings on page 4. To
reduce the risk of serious injury due to burns, insulate
and/or label the pump before pumping fluids above
110°F (43°C).
