Warnings
Fire and Explosion Hazard
Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in fire or explosion and serious injury.
• The system is for use with water-based materials only. Only use fluids compatible with the equip­ment. Refer to Technical Data of all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturers warn­ings.
• Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding and Electrical Requirements, page 6.
• If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop spraying immediately. Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
• Comply with all applicable state and national fire, electrical and safety regulations.
• Keep a fire extinguisher in the work area.

• Before operating this equipment, read all manuals, tags, and labels, including material labels and instructions.
• Do not expose system to rain. Always store system indoors.
• Do not alter or modify equipment.
• Do not spray cementitious materials.
• Do not exceed maximum working pressure of lowest rated component in your system.
• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
• To reduce risk of serious injury, including electric shock and splashing fluid in eyes, follow Pressure Relief Procedure on page 6 before servicing the unit.
• Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.

Electric Shock Hazard
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
• Be sure sprayer is adequately grounded through electrical outlet, page 6.
• Use only 3-wire, extension cords.
• Make sure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.
• Do not operate with cover removed.
• Turn off sprayer. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 6, and unplug unit, before removing any parts.
Pressurized Equipment Hazard
Fluid from gun, leaks or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and cause serious injury.
• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 6 when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking or servicing.
• Do not point spray gun at anyone; put hand, fingers or rag over nozzle, or stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear.
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 19 of this instruction manual and in all other equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.

CAUTION
Water or material remaining in unit when temperatures are below freezing can damage motor and/or delay pump startup.
To insure water and material are completely drained out of unit:
1. Remove material line from sprayer.
2. Tip sprayer up as shown.
Before adding material or starting unit in cold weather, run warm water through pump.
Install burp guard (J) before adding material to hopper. When only a small amount of material remains in the hopper, the burp guard prevents material from shooting out when the sprayer is turned off. This material could splash into the operator’s eyes or skin.
