The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbol refers to procedure-specific risk. Refer back
to these warnings. Additional, product-specific warnings may be found throughout the body of this manual where
applicable.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
Equipment surfaces and fluid that’s heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe
burns, do not touch hot fluid or equipment. Wait until equipment/fluid has cooled completely.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating
area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic
fumes, burns, and hearing loss. This equipment includes but is not limited to:
•Protective eyewear
•Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer
•Gloves
•Hearing protection
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.
•Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.
•Use only grounded electrical outlets.
•Use only 3-wire extension cords.
•Ensure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.
•Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just
a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.
•Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
•Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
•Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
•Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
•Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.

Installation
Ground the System
The following grounding instructions are minimum
requirements for a basic dispensing system. Your system may include other equipment or objects that must
be grounded. Check your local electrical code for
detailed grounding instructions for your area and type of
equipment. Your system must be connected to a true
earth ground.
•Fluid hoses: use only grounded fluid hoses with a
maximum of 25 feet (7.5 m) combined hose length
to ensure grounding continuity. Check electrical
resistance of your fluid hoses at least once a week.
If your hose does not have a tag on it that specifies
the maximum electrical resistance, contact the hose
supplier or manufacturer for the maximum resistance limits. If the hose resistance exceeds the recommended limits, replace it immediately.
•Gun: the gun is grounded by connecting it to the
properly grounded fluid hose and by a ground wire
in the cable. Check ground continuity between the
gun body and the heat control ground lug at least
once a week.
•Fluid supply container: ground according to the
local code.
•Flammable liquids in the dispense area: must be
kept in approved, grounded containers. Do not store
more than the quantity needed for one shift.
•All solvent pails used when flushing: ground
according to local code. Use only metal pails, which
are conductive. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which
interrupts the grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: hold a metal part of the gun firmly to
the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun.
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump,
object being dispensed to, and all other spraying/dispensing equipment used or located in the spraying/dispensing area. Check your local electrical code for
detailed grounding instructions for your area and type of
equipment.

5. Open pump drain valve to help relieve fluid pressure
in pump, hose, and gun. Triggering gun to relieve
pressure may not be sufficient. Have a container
ready to catch drainage.
6. Leave drain valve open until you are ready to dispense again.
7. If you think the gun nozzle or fluid hose is completely
clogged or that pressure has not been fully relieved
after following the previous steps, very slowly loosen
hose end coupling and relieve pressure gradually,
then loosen coupling completely. Clear nozzle or

Operation
Operation
Heatup
Heated fluid expands, causing a pressure rise in a
closed system.
•Relieve pressure (page 7) before heating up
equipment.
•Engage trigger retainer to hold gun open, to prevent excessive pressure buildup.
1. Turn ON electrical controls and main air to unit.
2. Lock dispense valve trigger open by pulling and
securing trigger using trigger retainer (Z).

4. After pump, hose, and gun are up to temperature,
release gun trigger retainer (Z) to close valve.
Engage gun trigger lock to prevent accidental dispense of high pressure heated fluid.

Operation
Dispensing
1. Start pump. Fluid flow rate is controlled at pump.
Adjust pump pressure to obtain desired flow rate.
Use lowest pressure necessary to dispense fluid.
The pressure adjustment depends on hose length,
fluid viscosity, and nozzle size.
2. Disengage gun trigger lock.

the slightest pressure on trigger and stops when
trigger is released.
Shutdown
1. Turn off all heat at controller.
2. Shut off fluid supply pump.
3. Trigger gun to relieve pressure while system is still
hot.

Install New Heater Cartridge(s),
RTD Sensor, or Switch
After adjusting or servicing gun, ensure that fluid will
not trigger on when trigger lock is engaged. If fluid
does flow, gun is not assembled correctly or trigger
lock is damaged. Reassemble gun or return it to
your nearest Graco distributor. Do not use gun until
the problem is corrected.
1. If fluid continues to flow after trigger is released:
•gun valve may need adjustment,
•gun valve may be obstructed or damaged,
•needle assembly (4) or seat (6) may be worn or
damaged.
Replace needle assembly (4) or seat (6) as
instructed on page 13.
2. Use Repair Kit 253553 for Manual Hot-Melt Guns
249512, 249513, 249514, 249515, 297273, and
297274.
1. Remove covers (9 and 16).
2. Pull terminal blocks (36) and insulation displacement connectors (IDC) (38) out of handle. Loosen
the screw in the terminal block or cut off the IDC to
disconnect lead wires of failed components.
3. Gently slide new heater(s) or sensor into appropriate hole.
4. Feed new wires through conduit to the correct terminal block or IDC. If using a terminal block, cut wires
to length and strip insulation before connecting.
If using an IDC, insert one new RTD wire and one
yellow wire through the IDC holes until the ends can
be seen in the window on the opposite side. Use pliers to press down insert, then close the IDC cover.
When replacing switch (51) ensure tube (53) protrudes from the back of the handle with its end near
the center of the switch body. Gently push wires
through the tube into the gun handle. See F

Inspection Frequency
Dispense Valve
Inspect dispense valve at every use for leakage or other
visible damage.
Heater
Every two weeks, check heater for proper resistance.
Resistance should be approximately 890 ohms, +/- 70
ohms for the 240V valves. Replace heater if necessary.
Also inspect heater when performing regular maintenance procedures.
Sensor
Every two weeks, check sensor resistance. Resistance
should be 108 ohms at 70° F (21° C). Replace sensor if
necessary.
Also inspect sensor when performing regular maintenance procedures.
4. Trigger gun and use a 1/8 in. open-end wrench on
flats of needle to turn needle (4a) clockwise one turn
as viewed from handle end of gun.
5. Release trigger; a slight free play of the trigger handle should occur.
6. Repeat Step 4 until free play occurs.
7. Tighten hex nut (4g) to lock the adjustment.
Service Valve Stem and Seal
If fluid leaks past seal (4c), the seal or needle (4a) may
be worn or damaged. To replace seal or valve stem, use
the following procedure.
1. Relieve pressure in system.
2. Disconnect gun from hose.
Adjust Needle Assembly
The trigger travel and corresponding valve opening are
factory set. To adjust this setting, use the following procedure.
1. Relieve pressure in system.
2. Disconnect gun from hose.
3. Use 11/32 in. wrench to loosen hex nut (4g).
3. Remove cover (16), and then slide heater cartridge
and sensor cartridge out of body (2).
4. Loosen needle nut.
5. Remove screws (33).
6. Unscrew needle with body from yoke.
7. Remove seal-cartridge assembly from body and
replace seals and/or needle. Repack grease area of
packing nut prior to reassembly.
8. Reassemble in reverse order and follow Adjust Needle Assembly, page 13.
