Grounding Procedure for Gas Engine
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking. Static
sparking can cause fumes to ignite or
explode. Grounding provides an escape
wire for the electric current.
To ground sprayer: Attach sprayer
grounding clamp to earth ground.
Air and fluid hoses: Use only electrically
conductive hoses with a maximum of 500ft.
(150 m) combined hose length to ensure
grounding continuity. Check electrical
resistance of hoses. If total resistance to
ground exceeds 29 megaohms, replace hose
immediately.

Pressure Relief Procedure
Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure whenever you see this
symbol.
This equipment stays pressurized until
pressure is manually relieved. To help
prevent serious injury from pressurized
fluid, such as skin injection, splashing fluid
and moving parts, follow the Pressure
Relief Procedure when you stop
spraying and before cleaning, checking,
or servicing the equipment.
1. Engage trigger lock.
2. Turn gas engine or electric motor
ON/OFF switch to OFF. Unplug power
cord to electric motor.
3. Move pump valve to OFF and turn
pressure control knob fully
counterclockwise to lowest setting.
4. Disengage trigger lock. Hold metal part
of gun firmly to side of grounded metal
pail, and trigger gun to relieve pressure.
5. Engage gun trigger lock.
6. Turn prime valve down to DRAIN
position. Leave prime valve down until
ready to spray again.
