Warnings
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or
explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:
• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric
lamps, and plastic drop cloths (potential static arc).
• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
• Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when
flammable fumes are present.
• Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.
• Use only grounded hoses.
• Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.
• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not
use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
• Keep a fire extinguisher in the work area.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest
rated system component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Tech-
nical Data in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information about your material, request MSDS forms from
distributor or retailer.
• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with
genuine Graco/Gusmer replacement parts only.
• Do not alter or modify equipment.
• Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your Graco/Gusmer distributor for
information.
• Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and
hot surfaces.
• Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
• Keep children and animals away from work area.
• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents or fluids containing such solvents in pressurized aluminum equipment. Such
use can cause serious chemical reaction and equipment rupture, and result in death,
serious injury, and property damage.

Operation
Operation
To prevent accidental gun operation, always
disconnect air supply before servicing gun or
anytime gun is not in use.
Isocyanate Hazard
Spraying materials containing isocyanates
creates potentially harmful mists, vapors,
and atomized particulates.
Grounding
Check your local electrical code and proportioner manual for detailed grounding instructions.
Ground the spray gun through connection to a
Graco-approved grounded fluid supply hose.
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.
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.
Keep A and B Components Separate
CAUTION
To prevent cross-contamination of the gun’s
wetted parts, do not interchange A component (isocyanate) and B component (resin)
parts. The gun is shipped with the A side on
the left.

Operation
Safety Stop
Always engage safety stop, close both manual valves, and disconnect air before cleaning, maintaining, or repairing gun, or any time
gun is not in use.
The GAP Pro gun has a 2-position safety stop.
When engaged, it prevents accidental triggering of gun. When disengaged, it allows gun to
dispense.
1. To engage the safety stop, push in and
turn the safety stop knob clockwise. See
FIG. 3.
Manual Valves
Manual valves located on the side blocks control flow of each chemical component to gun.
Triggering gun with manual valves closed
may cause crossover if gun ports contain
residual chemical.
Always engage safety stop, close both manual valves, and disconnect air before cleaning, maintaining, or repairing gun, or any time
gun is not in use.
Never open a manual valve unless side block
is secured to gun or exit port is directed into
flush pail.
FIG. 3. Engage Safety Stop
