Frequently Asked Questions

MaxLife indicates enhanced wear resistance via materials or treatments designed for longer life under heavy-duty, continuous use, and abrasive coatings.

Often yes. Inspect the piston rod and packings; a fresh packing kit and seals ensure proper sealing and extend the life of the new sleeve.

Match your unit’s pump/fluid-section model (and serial range) to the parts list for your sprayer family (e.g., Ultra Max II 1095/1595 IronMan, GMAX II 5900 IronMan, TexSpray Mark V IronMan).

Usually the fluid section must be removed and disassembled on the bench. Follow torque specs, cleanliness, and lubrication guidance in the applicable Graco service manual.

Use proper filtration, flush promptly after use, avoid dry-running, and maintain correct tip size and pressure to reduce wear on the cylinder and packings.
