Warnings WARNING 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).

Warnings WARNING WARNING 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.
PAGE 6
Warnings WARNING WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD This equipment must be grounded. Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric shock. • Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment. • Connect only to grounded electrical outlets. • Use only 3-wire extension cords. • Ensure ground prongs are intact on power and extension cords. • Do not expose to rain.
PAGE 7
Grounding and Electric Requirements Grounding and Electric Requirements Sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of static and electric shock by providing an escape wire for electrical current due to static build up or in the event of a short circuit. • The 120 Vac sprayers require a 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 15A circuit with a grounding receptacle. • Never use an outlet that is not grounded or an adapter. • Do not use the sprayer if the electrical cord has a damaged ground prong.

Setup Setup Prime and Flush Storage Fluid 1. Unscrew tip and guard assembly from gun. NOTE: To spray lacquers with the ProX7 or ProX9, you must purchase lacquer conversion kit 256212, and follow priming procedure for oil-based materials. The X5 and X7 units are not intended for lacquers. ti9714a Before you use your sprayer for the first time or begin a new spraying project, you need to prime the sprayer and flush the storage fluid out of the sprayer. 2. Uncoil hose and connect one end to gun.
PAGE 12
Setup Allow fluid to flow out of prime tube, into waste pail, for 30 to 60 seconds. 1. Make sure the power switch is OFF and the sprayer is unplugged. ti2810a 10. Turn power switch OFF. 2. Separate prime tube (smaller) from suction tube (larger). ti2810a 11. Transfer suction tube to paint pail and submerge suction tube in paint. ti2039a ti9653a 12. Turn power switch ON. 3.

Setup Install Tip and Guard on Gun Spraying Techniques Preventing Excessive Tip Wear • Spray should be atomized (evenly distributed, no gaps at edges). Start at low pressure setting, increase pressure a little at a time until you see a good spray pattern, without tails. • Spray at lowest pressure that atomizes paint. • If maximum sprayer pressure is not enough for a good spray pattern, tip is too worn. See Reversible Spray Tip Selection Chart, page 16. 1. Engage trigger lock. ti8908a 2.
PAGE 14
Setup Getting Started Unclogging Spray Tip Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice these basic spraying techniques before you begin spraying the surface. • Hold gun 12 in. (30 cm) from surface and aim straight at surface. Tilting gun to direct spray angle causes an uneven finish. 12 in. (30 cm) even finish thick To avoid fluid splashback: • Never pull gun trigger when arrow-shaped handle is between SPRAY and UNCLOG positions. • uneven finish ti5585a Tip must be pushed all the way into guard. 1.

Setup Tip Selection Selecting Tip Hole Size Tips come in a variety of hole sizes for spraying a range of fluids. Your sprayer includes an 0.015 in (0.38 mm) tip for use in most spraying applications. Use the following table to determine the range of recommended tip hole sizes for each fluid type. If you need a tip other than the one supplied, see the Reversible Tip Selection Chart on page 16. • Maximum tip hole sizes supported by the sprayer: – X5: 0.015 in. (0.38 mm) – X7: 0.017 in. (0.

Troubleshooting Problem Pump does not prime. Cause Solution Prime/Spray Valve is in SPRAY position. Inlet screen is clogged or suction tube is not immersed. Turn Prime/Spray Valve to PRIME position (pointing down). Clean debris off inlet screen and make sure suction tube is immersed in fluid. Remove suction tube from paint. Prime pump with water or solvent-based flushing fluid, page 11. Remove suction tube and place a pencil into the inlet section to dislodge the ball, allowing pump to prime properly.

Troubleshooting Problem Cause Pump cycles but does not build up Pump is not primed. pressure. Inlet screen is clogged . Suction tube is not immersed in paint. Suction tube is leaking. Prime/Spray Valve is worn or obstructed with debris. Pump check ball is stuck. Pump cycles, but paint only dribbles or spurts when spray gun is triggered. Pressure is set too low. Spray tip is clogged. InstaClean fluid filter is clogged. Spray gun fluid filter is clogged. Spray tip is too large or worn.
PAGE 28
Troubleshooting Problem Pressure is set at maximum but cannot achieve a good spray pattern. Cause Reversible spray tip is in UNCLOG position. Spray tip is too large for sprayer. Spray tip is worn beyond capability of sprayer. Extension cord is too long or not heavy enough gauge. Spray gun fluid filter is clogged. InstaClean fluid filter is clogged. Inlet screen is clogged. Pump valves are worn, or debris is clogging valve.
