component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
• 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 Graco distributor for information.
• Do not fill material beyond maximum capacity.
• Route gas lines, hoses, wires and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot
surfaces.
• Do not kink or overbend gas lines.
• Do not override or defeat safety devices.
• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
BURN HAZARD
Equipment surfaces and fluid that is heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe
burns:
• Do not touch hot fluid or equipment.
• Wait until equipment and material has cooled completely.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colorless and odorless. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause death. Do not operate in an enclosed area.

Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS OR FIND GAS
BUBBLES:
• Evacuate all unqualified personnel from area
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.
BEFORE LIGHTING: Smell all around the working area
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the ground because
propane is heavier than air and will settle on the ground.
DAILY: Check for gas leaks. Use mild soap and water
solution or other approved method. Apply solution to all
gas lines and fittings then watch for gas bubbles.
• Do not try to light any burner
• Do not strike a flame
• Do not use electric fans to remove gas from area
• Do not touch any electric switch and do not use
any phone
• If leak is from a gas fitting, tighten fitting until leak
stops
• If leak is from a gas line, shut off at LP-gas cylinder and replace gas line
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a remote
phone. Follow gas supplier’s instructions.
• If leak can not be stopped by shutting off LP-gas
cylinder shut-off valve, immediately call your gas
supplier from a remote phone. Follow gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier call the fire
department

Use only your hand to push in or turn the kettle gas
safety valve (CC). Never use tools. If the knob will not
push in or turn by hand, do not try to repair it; call a qualified service technician. Attempted repair or force may
result in a fire or explosion.
ti14561a
NOTE: Burners will need to be ignited to test gas lines
and fittings downstream of gas safety valves (CC and
HH). Ignite burners only after thoroughly checking gas
line and fitting upstream of gas safety valves.

DAILY: Check all gas lines and fittings for gas leaks.
DAILY: Check gas supply hose for wear, abrasions, cuts
or leaks. Replace only with hoses recommended by
Graco.
All surfaces are capable of becoming extremely hot.
Be sure to always wear heat-resistant gloves and
other protective equipment rated for 500° F (260° C).

material temperatures.
Check gas supply hose connection to LP-gas cylinder.
Make sure fitting is free of debris before connecting to
tank. Make sure gas connection is screwed completely
on and is free of leaks.
Check to ensure that the following are closed:
Hot molten plastic will burn skin. Do not attempt to
remove from skin. Cool under running water and
seek medical attention.

Adding Beads to SplitBead™ Bead Hopper
Single Bead Application
Bead Dispenser Engagement Wheel
1. Unlock and open SplitBead™ bead hopper door.
To properly dispense beads, drive wheel (27) must be in
direct contact with tire (89). If drive wheel (27) becomes
loose and/or starts to slip, use allen wrench to tighten
set screw (211).
2. Fill both sides of hopper with beads.
3. Close and lock hopper door. Do not allow beads to
remain in hopper, hoses or bead dispenser for an
extended period of time. Beads will absorb moisture, bond to adjacent beads and harden.
Double Bead Application
(Requires Installation of Double Bead Kit 24C528)
211
1. Fill element beads on left side (smaller chamber).
2. Fill glass beads on right side (larger chamber).

3. Close and lock hopper door. Do not allow beads to
remain in hopper, hoses or bead dispenser for an
extended period of time. Beads will absorb moisture, bond to adjacent beads and harden.

Applying Material to a Surface
3. Pull thermoplastic ControlFlow™ Gate Valve Actuator (S) and fill screed box with melted material.
4. Open bead box gate and fill bead box dispenser to a
level 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) from top.
1. Position unit over target area and push ThermoLazer™ forward in a straight line until front wheel
locks into centered position (a slight click will be
heard when wheel is engaged). Use Line Guide to
help orientate ThermoLazer™.
2. Pull unit back to start of target area and move
screed box into position.
5. Push SmartDie™ screed box/bead dispenser box
actuator (N) lever forward to deploy screed box and
engage bead dispense wheel.
6. Push ThermoLazer™ unit forward with screed box
deployed and bead dispenser wheel engaged to
apply material.

NOTICE
Never scoop out remaining melted thermoplastic from
kettle. Remaining thermoplastic can be left to harden
inside the kettle and can be remelted at a later date.
Always secure ThermoLazer™ by chocking wheels
when adding thermoplastic.
1. Secure ThermoLazer™ by chocking wheels.
Be sure to thoroughly clean all material on BlackMax™
Screed Die bar of screed box and any open areas to
prevent material from freezing moving parts of screed
box. Always run all material out of each die before
removing. Scrape out all remaining material before it
sets within the die.
NOTICE
To prevent material from hardening and blocking flow,
scrape all excess material off of external surfaces after
each use, including the material trough.
NOTICE
When using hand torch to loosen material from screed
box, do not allow flames to come in contact with screed
box springs. Screed box springs will lose their temper
from flames and will not properly close screed box.
ti14603a
NOTICE
Remove any remaining beads in the bead hopper and
bead dispenser to prevent beads from clogging hopper
and dispenser.
2. Use scraper to clean out trough and screed box.
Transporting
Remove LP-Gas supply cylinder from ThermoLazer™
before transporting. Secure in an approved location and
method as authorized by local, state, federal, national,
and international agencies.
ti14529a
313787C
Always use the designated mounted lifting lugs when
lifting the Thermolazer™. When lifting the Thermolazer™
only use ANSI approved slings and equipment rated for
a minimum of 2000 lb. Always use ANSI approved
equipment for securing ThermoLazer to transporting
equipment.
