The GRACO 171989 BAFFLE, AGITATOR is a stainless steel component designed to be installed within GRACO heavy-duty agitator assemblies. Its primary function is to help control fluid movement and prevent vortexing or excessive turbulence inside the tank, ensuring efficient mixing and agitation of fluids, especially those with higher viscosities.

Key Features:

• Agitator Baffle
• Stainless steel (sst)
• Compatible with GRACO heavy-duty stainless steel agitator assemblies (e.g., models 236661, 236662, 236663 for 5, 10, and 15 gallon tanks)
• Stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• Designed for use with high-viscosity fluids (above 800 cps)
• Helps maintain efficient mixing by reducing unwanted fluid movement

Applications:
Used in GRACO heavy-duty agitator assemblies for mixing and agitating fluids in industrial, agricultural, and maintenance applications, particularly where high-viscosity fluids are involved.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures proper fit, function, and safety within the agitator assembly, maintaining equipment reliability and performance.
• Slide the baffle over the fluid tube and position it about 1/2 inch (13 mm) above the highest point on the agitator paddle.
• Clamp the baffle in place using the provided U-bolt, washer, and nut.
• Refer to the equipment manual for specific installation instructions and torque specifications.
• Regularly inspect the baffle for signs of wear or corrosion.
• Ensure all fasteners are secure and in good condition.
• Replace the baffle if it becomes damaged or excessively worn.
