WARNING

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Equipment misuse can cause the equipment to rupture, malfunction, or start unexpectedly and result in serious

INSTRUCTIONS

injury.

D Read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equipment.

D Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated system component. See page 2 for maxi-

mum working pressure of each package.

D Do not alter or modify equipment.

D Do not use hoses to pull equipment.

D Wear hearing protection when operating this equipment.

D Moving parts can pinch or amputate your fingers.

D Follow all local, state, and national fire, electrical, and safety regulations.

WARNING

PRESSURIZED FLUID AND INJECTION HAZARD

Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can splash fluid in the eyes or on the skin and cause
serious injury. High pressure spray or leaks can inject fluid into the body.

D Follow Pressure Relief Procedure on page 10 when you stop spraying or begin servicing sprayer.

D Fluid injected into the skin might look like a cut, but is a serious injury. Get immediate medical attention.

D Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip, or point gun at anyone or any part of body. Do not stop or

deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.

D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Tighten all fluid connections before each use.

D Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using. Read the fluid manufacturer’s warnings.

D Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, eyewear, and respirator.

D Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the gun when spraying.

D Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Do not repair high pressure

couplings; you must replace entire hose.

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Solvent and paint fumes can ignite or explode. To help prevent a fire and explosion:

D Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed. See Grounding on page 7.

D Use in extremely well ventilated area.

D Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.

D Use only electrically conductive paint hose.

D If there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop spraying immediately. Identify and correct the

problem.

D Eliminate all ignition sources such as pilot lights, cigarettes, and static arcs from plastic drop cloths. Do not plug

in or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off in the spray area.

D To reduce the risk of static arcing which could result in a fire or explosion and serious injury, use only non–

sparking tools.
