D 1/2 in. (13 mm) Nap Roller Cover
D Contractort Inline Valve
3600 psi (24.8 MPa, 248 bar) Maximum Fluid Inlet Pressure
*
The best operating pressure is the lowest pressure that provides
*
an even paint supply to the roller and typically does not exceed
300 psi (2.1 MPa, 21 bar).
CAUTION
Never leave water in the pump, inline valve, or roller frame.
Doing so could cause corrosion and damage from freezing.
For storage, flush the system with Graco Pump Armort or

airless spray gun by attaching a Handtitet Guard
and RAC5 Switchtip.
To reduce the risk of a fluid injection
injury, do not operate the inline valve with
the tip guard or trigger guard removed.
1. Follow pump priming instructions using lowest
pressure setting at which pump primes.
2. Turn prime/spray valve to SPRAY position.
In-Line Valve Trigger Safety Lever
3. Disengage inline valve safety latch, trigger the
inline valve, and roll the surface until paint comes
to roller.
For SAFETY ON position, rotate trigger safety lever so
it is in line with trigger. For SAFETY OFF position, flip
safety lever so it is 90_ to trigger. Fig. 1.
NOTE: Trigger the inline valve briefly only when
you need more paint. Determine how often you
must trigger the inline valve to maintain an even
paint supply to the roller.
NOTE: In the SAFETY ON position the lever sits in a
detent which holds it in place.
4. Increase pump pressure only if triggering inline
valve cannot supply enough paint for your rolling
speed.

6. Turn prime/spray valve to SPRAY.
2. Push up on bottom of trigger guard and swing it
away from trigger.
NOTE: Perform Step 7 at the lowest pressure pos-
sible.
3. Unscrew inline valve handle from housing. Re-
move filter and clean it in compatible solvent.
7. Trigger inline valve until flushing fluid begins to
dilute the paint.
NOTE: Do not soak entire inline valve in solvent.
Prolonged exposure to solvent can ruin packings.
8. Place roller frame (1) in another bucket and contin-
ue flushing until fluid coming out of the roller frame
(1) is clear.
4. Apply lithium–based grease to threads of inline
valve handle and reassemble inline valve.

If you are going to store the airless equipment for an
extended period of time after flushing with water-base
fluid, flush again with Graco Pump Armor or mineral
spirits/paint thinner. Leave this fluid in the system
during storage.
