Warnings
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-specic risk. Refer back to these
warnings. Additional, product-specic warnings may be found throughout the body of this manual where applicable.
WARNING
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.•
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic uids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or
swallowed.
Read MSDS’s to know the specic hazards of the uids you are using.•
Store hazardous uid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guide-• lines.
Always wear impervious gloves when spraying or cleaning equipment.•
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 uid and solvent manufacturer• Gloves• Hearing protection•
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure uid 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 deect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.• Close material shutoff valves and shutoff or disconnect air supply when not spraying.• Follow• Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.

Warnings
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help pre-
vent re 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 ammable • fumes are present.
Ground all equipment in the work area. • Use only grounded hoses.•
Hold gun rmly 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 equip-
ment until you identify and correct the problem.
Keep a working re extinguisher in the work area.•
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents or uids 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.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the inuence 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 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.•
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.•
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch or amputate ngers and other body parts.
Keep clear of moving parts.• Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.•
Pressurized equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing equip-• ment, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual. Disconnect power or air supply.
BURN HAZARD
Equipment surfaces and uid that’s heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid
severe burns, do not touch hot uid or equipment. Wait until equipment/uid has cooled completely.

5
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.
Warnings

6
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.
