serious injury, and property damage.
4
Warnings
Isocyanate Hazard
Spraying materials containing isocyanates creates
potentially harmful mists, vapors, and atomized
particulates.
Read material manufacturer’s warnings and
material MSDS to know specic hazards and
precautions related to isocyanates.
Prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists, vapors, and
atomized particulates by providing sufcient ventilation in the work area. If sufcient 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.
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 lled with Graco •
Throat Seal Liquid (TSL), Part 206995. The lubricant
creates a barrier between the ISO and the atmosphere.
Use moisture-proof hoses specically 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 contami-•
nated from the other side.
Always park pumps when you shutdown.•
Always lubricate threaded parts with Part 217374 ISO •
pump oil or grease when reassembling.
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 uid. Eventually a lm 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.
The amount of lm formation and rate of crystal-
lization varies depending on the blend of ISO,
the humidity, and the temperature.

Warnings
Material Self-ignition
Some materials may become self-igniting if applied to
thickly. Read material manufacturer’s warnings and
material MSDS.
Keep Components A and B
Separate
CAUTION
To prevent cross-contamination of the equipment’s wet-
ted parts, never interchange component A (isocyanate)
and component B (resin) parts. The gun is shipped with
the A side on the left. The uid manifold, uid housing, side seal assembly, check valve cartridge, and mix
chamber are marked on the A side.
Changing Materials
When changing materials, ush the equipment mul-•
tiple times to ensure it is thoroughly clean.
Always clean the uid inlet strainers after ushing.•
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.
Foam Resins with 245 fa
Blowing Agents
New 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.

Section 1 - Installation: Equipment Assembly
How The Gun Works
The trigger actuates a small valve in the gun handle
that controls the ow of air into the piston assembly.
When the trigger is pulled, air ows through the valve to
the front of the piston. Air pressure forces the piston
towards the rear of the gun, simultaneously closing off the
purge air and moving the mixing chamber to a position
where the mixing chamber orices are aligned with the
orices in both, the side block seal and check valve assem-
blies.
The proper alignment of the orices is determined by
the setting of the adjustment nut, located on the pis-
ton lock assembly.. This adjustment nut determines
the length of travel of the air piston and has been
preset at the factory and should not require adjustment. (SEE MAINTENANCE SECTION)
The two uids (isocyanate and polyol) then ow through
the material shut-off valves, seal, and check valve assemblies and into the mixing chamber. The two uids impinge
against one another and exit the mixing chamber in a swirling, conical spray pattern.
Piston Lock
Engage piston lock whenever you stop spraying, to avoid
accidental triggering.
Always use piston lock in conjunction with uid ball valves
to avoid accidental triggering.
WARNING
Read warnings, page 3.
To engage Piston lock: push knob in and turn clockwise.
If engaged, gun will not actuate.
r_257826_313266_1_2b
To disengage piston lock: push knob in and turn coun-
terclockwise until it pops out. There will be a gap between
knob and gun body.
When the trigger is released, the mixing chamber returns
to its original position and purge air ows into the mixing
chamber housing. The front tip o-ring keeps air purge
inside the gun head, which forces all of the air through the
orices in the mixing chamber creating a complete, total
and constant purge.
This purge air continues to ow through the mixing cham-
ber until the air valve has shut-off all air to the gun; or until
the trigger is pulled again.
r_257826_313266_1_1b
See page 19 for piston lock adjustment or installation.
Loss of Air Pressure
In event of loss of air pressure, gun will continue to spray.
To shut off gun, do one of the following:
Push in piston lock, see • Engage piston lock.
Close ball valves A and B.•
