Important Two-Component Material Information
Important Two-Component Material Information
Isocyanate Conditions
Spraying or dispensing materials containing isocyanates creates potentially harmful mists, vapors, and
atomized particulates.
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 Components A and B
Separate
Cross-contamination can result in cured material in
fluid lines which could cause serious injury or damage
equipment. To prevent cross-contamination of the
equipment’s wetted parts, never interchange component A (isocyanate) and component B (resin) parts.
Moisture Sensitivity of
Isocyanates
Isocyanates (ISO) are catalysts used in two component
foam and polyurea coatings. ISO will react with moisture
(such as humidity) to form small, hard, abrasive crystals,
which become suspended in the fluid. Eventually a film
will form on the surface and the ISO will begin to gel,
increasing in viscosity. If used, this partially cured ISO
will reduce performance and the life of all wetted parts.
Material Self-ignition
Some materials may become self-igniting if applied
too thickly. Read material manufacturer’s warnings
and material MSDS.
The amount of film formation and rate of crystallization varies depending on the blend of ISO, the
humidity, and the temperature.
To prevent exposing ISO to moisture:
•Always use a sealed container with a desiccant
dryer in the vent, or a nitrogen atmosphere. Never
store ISO in an open container.
•Keep the ISO lube pump reservoir (if installed) filled
with Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL), Part 206995.
The lubricant creates a barrier between the ISO and
the atmosphere.
•Use moisture-proof hoses specifically designed for
ISO, such as those supplied with your system.
•Never use reclaimed solvents, which may contain
moisture. Always keep solvent containers closed
when not in use.
•Never use solvent on one side if it has been contaminated from the other side.
•Always lubricate threaded parts with ISO pump oil
or grease when reassembling.

Important Two-Component Material Information
Foam Resins with 245 fa
Blowing Agents
Some foam blowing agents will froth at temperatures
above 90°F (33°C) when not under pressure, especially
if agitated. To reduce frothing, minimize preheating in a
circulation system.
Changing Materials
•When changing materials, flush the equipment multiple times to ensure it is thoroughly clean.
•Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after flushing.
•Check with your material manufacturer for chemical
compatibility.
•Most materials use ISO on the A side, but some use
ISO on the B side.
•Epoxies often have amines on the B (hardener)
side. Polyureas often have amines on the B (resin)
side.

Spray Adjustments
Flow rate, atomization, and amount of overspray are
affected by four variables.
•Fluid pressure setting. Too little pressure results in
an uneven pattern, coarse droplet size, low flow,
and poor mixing. Too much pressure results in
excessive overspray, high flow rates, difficult control,
and excessive wear.
•Fluid temperature. Similar effects to fluid pressure
setting. The A and B temperatures can be offset to
help balance the fluid pressure.
•Mix chamber size. Choice of mix chamber is based
on desired flow rate and fluid viscosity.
•Clean-off air adjustment. Too little clean-off air
results in droplets building up on the front of the
nozzle, and no pattern containment to control overspray. Too much clean-off air results in air-assisted
atomization and excessive overspray.

NOTICE
Proper system setup, start up, and shutdown procedures are critical to electrical equipment reliability.
The following procedures ensure steady voltage. Failure to follow these procedures will cause voltage fluctuations that can damage electrical equipment and
void the warranty.
1. Locate Reactor
a. Locate Reactor on a level surface. SeeDimen-
sions page 40, for clearance and mounting hole
dimensions.
b. Do not expose Reactor to rain.
NOTICE
To prevent damage from tipping over and falling,
proper care needs to be taken when lifting the Reactor. Bolt Reactor to original shipping pallet, to keep
stable, before lifting.
Bolt bracket and mounting feet (MF) directly to
truck or trailer bed. See page 40.

FIG. 6
2. General equipment guidelines
MF
259024_312065
c. Use the casters to move Reactor to a fixed loca-
tion, or bolt to shipping pallet and move with
forklift.
d. To mount on a truck bed or trailer, remove cast-
ers and secure rear axle with 15B805 mobile
mounting bracket (MB), available separately.
•Determine the correct size generator. Using the correct size generator and proper air compressor will
enable the proportioner to run at a nearly constant
RPM. Failure to do so will cause voltage fluctuations
that can damage electrical equipment. Ensure the
generator matches the voltage and phase of the
proportioner.
Use the following procedure to determine the correct size generator.
a. List system components that use peak load
requirements in watts.
b. Add the wattage required by the system compo-
nents.
c. Perform the following equation:
Total watts x 1.25 = kVA (kilovolt-amperes)
d. Select a generator size that is equal to or
greater than the determined kVA.
312065M19
Setup
•Use proportioner power cords that meet or exceed
the requirements listed in Table 2. Failure to do so
will cause voltage fluctuations that can damage
electrical equipment.
•Use an air compressor with constant speed head
unloading devices. Direct online air compressors
that start and stop during a job will cause voltage
fluctuations that can damage electrical equipment.
•Maintain and inspect the generator, air compressor,
and other equipment per the manufacturer recommendations to avoid an unexpected shutdown.
Unexpected equipment shutdown will cause voltage
fluctuations that can damage electrical equipment.
•Use a wall power supply with enough current to
meet system requirements. Failure to do so will
cause voltage fluctuations that can damage electrical equipment.
Installing this equipment requires access to parts
which may cause electric shock or other serious injury
if work is not performed properly. Have a qualified
electrician connect power and ground to main power
switch terminals, see page 21. Be sure your installation complies with all National, State and Local safety
and fire codes.

Maintenance
Maintenance
•Check wet cup TSL level daily.
•Do not overtighten packing nut/wet cup. Throat
u-cup is not adjustable.
•Inspect fluid inlet strainer screens daily, see below.
•Grease circulation valves weekly with Fusion grease
(117773).
TI10955a
•Inspect ISO lubricant level and condition daily, see
page 38. Refill or replace as needed.
•Keep component A from exposure to moisture in
atmosphere, to prevent crystallization.
•Clean gun mix chamber ports regularly. See gun
manual.
•Clean gun check valve screens regularly. See gun
manual.
•Use compressed air to prevent dust buildup on control boards, fan, motor (under shield), and hydraulic
oil coolers.
•Keep vent holes on bottom of electrical cabinet
open.
Fluid Inlet Strainer Screen
The inlet strainers filter out particles that can plug the
pump inlet check valves. Inspect the screens daily as
part of the startup routine, and clean as required.
Use clean chemicals and follow proper storage, transfer,
and operating procedures, to minimize contamination of
the A-side screen.
Clean the A-side screen only during daily startup.
This minimizes moisture contamination by immediately flushing out any isocyanate residue at the
start of dispensing operations.
1. Close the fluid inlet valve at the pump inlet and shut
off the appropriate feed pump. This prevents material from being pumped while cleaning the screen.
2. Place a container under the strainer manifold (59d)
to catch fluid. Remove the strainer plug (59j).
3. Remove the screen (59g) from the strainer manifold.
Thoroughly flush the screen with compatible solvent
and shake it dry. Inspect the screen. If more than
25% of the mesh is blocked, replace the screen.
Inspect the gasket (59h) and replace as required.
4. Ensure the pipe plug (59k) is screwed into the
strainer plug (59j). Install the strainer plug with the
screen (59g) and gasket (59h) in place and tighten.
Do not overtighten. Let the gasket make the seal.
5. Open the fluid inlet valve, ensure that there are no
leaks, and wipe the equipment clean. Proceed with
operation.

Maintenance
Pump Lubrication System
Check the condition of the ISO pump lubricant daily.
Change the lubricant if it becomes a gel, its color darkens, or it becomes diluted with isocyanate.
Gel formation is due to moisture absorption by the pump
lubricant. The interval between changes depends on the
environment in which the equipment is operating. The
pump lubrication system minimizes exposure to moisture, but some contamination is still possible.
Lubricant discoloration is due to continual seepage of
small amounts of isocyanate past the pump packings
during operation. If the packings are operating properly,
lubricant replacement due to discoloration should not be
necessary more often than every 3 or 4 weeks.
To change pump lubricant:
1. Relieve pressure, page 32.

2. Lift the lubricant reservoir (LR) out of the bracket
(RB) and remove the container from the cap. Holding the cap over a suitable container, remove the
check valve and allow the lubricant to drain. Reattach the check valve to the inlet hose. See F
IG. 10.
3. Drain the reservoir and flush it with clean lubricant.
4. When the reservoir is flushed clean, fill with fresh
lubricant.
5. Thread the reservoir onto the cap assembly and
place it in the bracket.

Flushing
Flushing
Flush equipment only in a well-ventilated area. Do not
spray flammable fluids. Do not turn on heaters while
flushing with flammable solvents.
•Flush out old fluid with new fluid, or flush out old
fluid with a compatible solvent before introducing
new fluid.
•Use the lowest possible pressure when flushing.
•All fluid components are compatible with common
solvents. Use only moisture-free solvents.
•To flush feed hoses, pumps, and heaters separately
from heated hoses, set PRESSURE
RELIEF/SPRAY valves (SA, SB) to PRESSURE
RELIEF/CIRCULATION . Flush through bleed
lines (N).
