component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
Useuidsandsolventsthatarecompatiblewithequipmentwettedparts.See• Technical Data in
allequipmentmanuals.Readuidandsolventmanufacturer’swarnings.Forcompleteinforma-
tion about your material, request MSDS forms from distributor or retailer.
Checkequipmentdaily.Repairorreplacewornordamagedpartsimmediatelywithgenuine•
manufacturer’s replacement parts only.
Do not alter or modify equipment.•
Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.•
Routehosesandcablesawayfromtrafcareas,sharpedges,movingparts,andhotsurfaces.•

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specichazardsand
precautions related to isocyanates.
Prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists, vapors, and
atomizedparticulatesbyprovidingsufcientventila-
tionintheworkarea.Ifsufcient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.
Material Self-Ignition
Some materials may become self-igniting if applied
toothickly.Readmaterialmanufacturer’swarnings
and material MSDS.
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, increas-
ing 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.
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specically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.

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) partrs. The gun is shipped with
theAsideontheleft.Theuidmanifold,uidhous-
ing,sidesealassembly,checkvalvecartridge,andmix
chamberaremarkedontheA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 agitat-
ed. To reduce frothing, minimize preheating in a circulation
system.
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.
