The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these symbols appear in the body of this manual, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where applicable.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

When flammable fluids are present in the work area, such as gasoline and windshield wiper fluid, be aware that flammable fumes can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as cigarettes and portable electric lamps.

• Keep work area free of debris, including rags and spilled or open containers of solvent and

gasoline.

• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are pres-

ent.

• Ground all equipment in the work area.

• Use only grounded hoses.

• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use

equipment until you identify and correct the problem.

• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

Special Conditions for Safe Use

Equipment must comply with the following conditions when operated in a potentially explosive atmosphere or hazardous location.

• Do not clean lubrication canister with a dry cloth. Possibility of electrostatic charge exists.

TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD

Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or swallowed.

• Read MSDSs to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.

• Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applica-

ble guidelines.

PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD

Fluid from the equipment, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and cause serious injury.

• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.

• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

WARNINGWARNINGWARNING

WARNING

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated

system component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.

• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical

Data in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information about your material, request MSDS from distributor or retailer.

• Turn off all equipment and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when equipment is not in

use.

• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine

manufacturer’s replacement parts only.

• Do not alter or modify equipment.

• Do not puncture, open or take lubricator apart.

• Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.

• Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot

surfaces.

• Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.

• Keep children and animals away from work area.

• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, hearing loss, inhalation of toxic fumes, and burns. This equipment includes but is not limited to:

Installation and Setup

Determining Correct Mounting Method

NOTE:

• Direct mounting should be used for lubrica-

tion points that are easily accessible.

• Remote mounting is recommended if you

answer YES to any of the questions below.

1. Is the ambient temperature at the lubrication point higher than +60°C (140°F)?

2. Is it necessary to remove protective screens, walls or other types of protection in order to reach the lubrication point?

3. Is the lubrication point exposed to high vibrations?

4. Is it difficult to access the lubrication point during operation of the machine?

5. Is the lubrication point exposed to any of the following:

• corrosive chemicals?

• high temperatures?

• falling materials?

Installation Guidelines

Do not puncture, open or take canister apart. Opening or breaking the canister will expose users to the fluid and gases contained inside.

• Before installing the lubricator, the lubrica-

tion points and any extensions must be adequately pre-lubricated with the same lubricant contained in the lubricator. A 400 gram lubricant cartridge for grease guns is available from Graco. See Parts, page 12 for a complete list of available lubricant cartridges.

• Install one lubricator per lubrication point.

• The grease nozzle of the lubricator has an

R 1/4 male thread. If your application has a different thread you may need to use a reducer.

• Do not overtighten the plastic thread of the

lubricator.

• For all metal to metal connections (i.e.,

extensions, reducers, etc.), to prevent leakage, make sure to use LOCTITE® 243* or a

similar product (semi-tight screw locking).
