WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Improper grounding or an improper setup can cause a hazardous condition and result in an electric
shock or other serious injury.
D Ground the equipment, personnel in or close to the spray area, the object being sprayed, and all
other electrically conductive objects in the spray area. See Ground the System on page 14.
D The gun must be connected to a voltage isolation system that will discharge the system voltage
when the gun is not in use.
D Components of the isolation system which are charged with high voltage must be inaccessible to
personnel to avoid electric shock. These components must be contained in an enclosure or a
safety fence that prohibits personnel from making contact with them before the system voltage is
discharged.
D The areas of the waterborne fluid hose that are accessible to the personnel must be covered by
the conductive hose layer. The area on the hose that is not covered by the conductive hose layer
must be inside the voltage isolation system enclosure. Refer to Fig. 6, page 13.
D Only use the red-colored Graco electrically conductive gun air hose with this gun. Do not use the
black or grey-colored Graco air hoses.
D Install only one continuous Graco waterborne fluid hose between the isolated fluid supply and the
spray gun. Do not splice hoses together.
D Follow the Fluid Voltage Discharge and Grounding Procedure on page 16 when instructed to
discharge the voltage; before cleaning, flushing, or servicing the system; before approaching the
front of the gun; and before opening the safety fence or the enclosure for the isolated fluid supply.
D Do not enter a high voltage or hazardous area until all high voltage equipment has been
discharged.
D Do not come within 4 in. (101.6 mm) of the front of the gun until the Fluid Voltage Discharge and
Grounding Procedure on page 16 has been completed.
D Do not connect more than one gun to the same fluid isolation system. Regulations applying to this
type of equipment prohibit the use of multiple hand-held guns.
D If there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop spraying immediately. Identify and
correct the problem.
D Follow the warnings and instructions in the voltage isolation system manual.
