• Ground equipment, personnel, object being sprayed, and conductive objects in work area. See Grounding instructions. • Use only Graco grounded hoses. • Check gun resistance daily. • If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
Isocyanate Hazard Isocyanate Hazard • 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 Spraying materials containing isocyanates creates ISO, such as those supplied with your system.
To engage safety stop, push in and turn clockwise to Ground the spray gun through connection to a CLOSED (rear detent) position, then release. Graco-approved grounded fluid supply hose. Disengage Safety Stop To disengage safety stop, push in and turn counterclock- wise to place in OPEN (forward detent) position, then release.
Operation Basics Air Hose Connection 1. Open manual valves using 5/16 in. nut driver; turn manual valves counterclockwise approximately three full turns. Do not open until it bottoms out. Connect Air Hoses 2. Close manual valves by turning fully clockwise. Pull back sleeve of female fitting, insert male fitting and slide sleeve forward to secure connection.

Operation Basics 7. Cover exposed openings with grease. Coupling Block Install Coupling Block Replace nicked, damaged, or worn coupling block gas- kets. 1. With gaskets in place, fit coupling block to gun block. 2. Insert coupling block mounting screw and use 5/16 in.
Initial Set Up Initial Set Up 1. Remove coupling block from gun. 2. Check valving rod clearance in closed position. Rod should extend approximately 1/32 in. (1 mm) beyond tip of mixing chamber. 3. Adjust valving rod travel to initial setting. See Valv- ing Rod and Resilient Sleeve, page 17.
Daily Start-Up Daily Start-Up Daily Shutdown Ensure gun is attached to coupling block and air hose, and the proportioning unit is at desired temperature Follow daily shutdown when gun is out of service and pressure. for any length of time. Daily disassembly of gun for cleaning is not recommended if it has been operat- ing properly.
Pressure Relief Procedure Pressure Relief Procedure Relieve pressure before cleaning or repairing gun. 1. Close both manual valves. Manual Valves 2. Set safety stop to OPEN. 3. Trigger gun onto cardboard or into waste container to relieve pressure. 4. Release gun trigger, set safety stop to SERVICE (CLOSED), and close manual valves.
Maintenance Maintenance Gun Service Kits Daily Cleaning Procedure, with Gun Service Kit Use either the 1-Quart Gun Service Kit (296980) or 3-Gallon Gun Service Kit (296981) to perform daily flushing of spray gun without disassembly. To avoid static sparking that may result in fire or explo- sion, ensure all equipment in cleaning procedure is grounded.
Maintenance Daily Cleaning Procedure, Flush Gun without Gun Service Kit If the Gun Service Kit is not available, the iso side com- ponents must be cleaned daily. To avoid static sparking that may result in fire or explo- sion, ensure all equipment in flushing procedure is See AR Gun Tool Kit 253728 on page 28.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution Interruption of flow of one material Running out of material Supply more material to proportioner Materials in proportioner are too vis- Check with material supplier for rec- cous ommended temperature range that Change of color in mixed product should be maintained to control vis- cosity.
Repair Repair 3. Remove front impinger from front packing. It is not necessary to remove front packing if no damage to packing is evident or suspected. Front Impinger CAUTION Shutdown proportioner and allow chemicals to cool Front Packing before servicing gun. Clean A and R components in separate containers to avoid cross contamination.
Repair 3. Slide screen screw assembly out of gun block. Allow 2. Remove spring retainer case by grasping handle excess Isocyanate material to drain. firmly and pushing in on retainer case with palm of hand. Simultaneously rotate case a quarter turn counterclockwise to remove case from locking col- lar.
Repair Reassembly Coupling Block and Check Valves 1. If valving rod resilient sleeve assembly was removed or is being replaced, use the following steps: Disassembly a. Thread coupler onto resilient sleeve assembly by hand as far as it will go toward sleeve. There 1.
Repair 7. If material buildup prevents easy removal, use Impingers three-pronged end of check valve removal tool to grasp check valve and turn free. Disassembly and Cleaning Opposite end of check valve removal tool is 1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 12. designed to clean check valve cavity.
Repair 2. Thread throat assembly by hand into gun block. Use Gun Block throat wrench to tighten. In severe cases of material buildup, it may be necessary to remove the gun block and soak it in gun cleaner. Front impinger should contact throat surface about 1/2 to 3/4 turns from actual seating of throat to gun 1.
Repair 7. Soak gun block in gun cleaner. 6. Set safety stop to SERVICE (CLOSED), and then pull trigger to determine if weepage occurs in this CAUTION position. Do not allow gun block or component parts to soak in gun cleaner for extended periods of time, such as overnight, as certain solvents may cause corrosion or pitting.
