Operation Basics
Operation Basics
To prevent accidental gun operation, always
disconnect air supply before servicing gun or
anytime gun is not in use.
Read material manufacturer’s warnings and
material MSDS to know specific hazards
and precautions related to isocyanates.
Prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists,
vapors, and atomized particulates by providing sufficient ventilation in the work area. If
sufficient ventilation is not available, a supplied-air respirator is required for everyone in
the work area.
Grounding
Check your local electrical code and proportioner manual for detailed grounding instructions.
Ground the spray guy through connection to a
Graco-approved grounded fluid supply hose.
Coupling Block
Install Coupling Block
1. Inspect coupling block gaskets for damage
and wear. Replace if necessary.
2. With gaskets in place, fit coupling block to
gun block.
3. Insert coupling block mounting screw and
tighten securely with 5/16 in. nut driver.
To prevent contact with isocyanates, appropriate personal protective equipment, including chemically impermeable gloves, boots,
aprons, and goggles, is also required for
everyone in the work area.
