To adjust purge rod position, follow piston and Disengage piston safety lock (L), page 8. purge rod disassembly instruction on page 39. Attach Graco approved grounded fluid supply hose to solvent inlet (Y). Make sure solvent purge valve (V) is closed before TI3849a pressurizing the solvent hose.
Locate the larger part side (typically the B [RES] flow at the mix gun port at rear of Polycarballoy Mix Module). Graco only makes 1:1 ratio mix modules. When applying a material that is different than 1:1 it is necessary to Polycarballoy Mix Module cross section.

Hand Drilling of Mix Modules Module Port Drill Bit Size When drilling, be careful not to allow bit to come in contact with ID of mix module. The largest drill size that can be used on the XF1313 mix module is #56. To get more flow, Drill Bit Table order a larger mix module: XF3535, XF4747, XF5757...
Operation Operation Spraying Turn RAC tip (X) to clean position. To spray, turn RAC tip (X) to spray position. TI50097a TI5096a Hold gun into a grounded metal pail, holding a metal part of fluid manifold firmly to side of pail. Close solvent purge knob (V).
Pressure Relief Procedure Pressure Relief Procedure Disengage piston safety lock (L), page 8. WARNING Read warnings, page 4. Relieve pressure before cleaning or repairing gun. TI3849a Engage piston safety lock (L), page 8. Turn RAC tip (X) to clean position. TI3850a Air supply is required for gun actuation.

Pressure Relief Procedure Engage piston safety lock (L), page 8. TI3850a WARNING If fluid in the hose and proportioner is still under pres- sure, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in the pro- portioner manual. To relieve pressure in the hose after the gun is removed, place the fluid manifold over containers, fac- ing away from you.

Maintenance Flush Gun Clean Air Cap If it is necessary to flush the mix module, use following Soak air cap in compatible solvent. If necessary, clean procedure. gently with stiff brush. Clean Spray Tip WARNING Clean spray tip with a solvent soaked brush. Clean front of tip frequently to reduce fluid build up.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 18, before checking or repairing gun. Check all possible problems and causes before disassembling gun. CAUTION To prevent cross-contamination of the gun’s wetted parts, do not interchange A component (isocyanate) and B component (resin) parts. PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION...

(36f, 36g) may result in external leakage. Replace o-rings if any damage is seen. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 18.
Repair Piston and Purge Rod Pull purge rod to remove piston (32). Inspect pis- ton o-ring (16) and shaft o-ring (19). Spacer (61) is optional. For more forward travel of piston, remove spacer. Using spacer (61) elimi- nates “spitting” when gun is closed. Removing spacer (61) allows purge rod to travel further for more efficient purging.
