Warnings

WARNING

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

High-pressure fluid 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.

• Engage trigger lock when not spraying.

• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,

checking, or servicing equipment.

Cleaning Solvent Hazard with Plastic Parts

Use only compatible water-based solvents to clean plastic structural or pressure-containing parts. Many solvents can degrade plastic parts to the point where they could fail. Such failure could cause serious injury or property damage. See Technical Data on page 34 of this instruction manual and in all other equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.

Moving Parts Hazard

Moving parts can pinch or amputate fingers and other body parts.

Grounding and Electric Requirements

The sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.

• The sprayer cord includes a

grounding wire with an appropriate grounding prong.

• The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• Do not modify plug! If it will not fit in outlet, have grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Preparation

Auxiliary Air Compressor

• Use Auxiliary Air Hookup Kit 287328 when additional atomization air is necessary.

NOTICE

Attaching auxiliary air to sprayer without using the Auxiliary Air Hookup Kit will damage sprayer.

Generators

7500 W (7.5 KW) minimum.

Tips for Using Generators

• Before running sprayer, make sure it is at room temperature. This will reduce startup current.
