SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This manual contains information which must be read and understood before using the equipment. When you come to an area which has one of the following symbols, pay particular attention and make certain to heed the safeguard.
WARNING
This symbol indicates a potential hazard which may cause serious injury or loss of life. Important safety information will follow.
CAUTION
This symbol indicates a potential hazard to you or to the equipment. Important information that tells how to prevent damage to the equipment or how to avoid causes of minor injuries will follow.
NOTE: Notes give important information which should be given special attention.
CAUTION
THIS UNIT IS PROVIDED WITH A THERMALLY PROTECTED AUTOMATIC RESET. IF AN OVERLOAD OCCURS THE THERMALLY PROTECTED AUTOMATIC RESET DISCONNECTS THE MOTOR FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.
•The motor will restart without warning when the protector automatically resets.
•Always disconnect the motor from the power supply before working on the equipment.
•When the thermally protected automatic reset disconnects the motor from the power supply, relieve pressure by turning the priming valve to PRIME.
•Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
NOTE: The cause of the overload should be corrected before restarting. See TROUBLESHOOTING.
WARNING
HAZARD: Injection injury - A high pressure stream of paint produced by this equipment can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation.
DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT! Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician immediately.
The maximum operating range of the gun is 2800 PSI fluid pressure.
PREVENTION:
•NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
•NEVER allow any part of the body to come in contact with the fluid stream. DO NOT come in contact with a fluid stream created by a leak in the fluid hose.
•NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide protection against an injection injury.
•ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the fluid pump off and release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip guard, changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will
not be released by turning off the engine. The PRIME/SPRAY knob must be turned to PRIME to relieve the pressure. Refer to the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described in this manual.
•ALWAYS have the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip guard provides some protection against injection injuries but is mainly a warning device.
•ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the system.
•Inspect the paint hose before each use. The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak is capable of injecting material into the skin.
•NEVER use a spray gun which does not have a trigger lock or trigger guard in place and in working order.
•All accessories must be rated at or above 2800 PSI. This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury surgically as soon as possible. DO NOT delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some coatings injected directly into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite, causing property damage and/or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
•Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided to keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of flammable vapors.
•Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks, open flames, pilot lights, hot objects, cigarettes, and sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or working light switches.
•Fire extinguishing equipment must be present and in good working order.
•Keep the pump away from the spray area to avoid solvent and paint fumes.
•High velocity flow of material through equipment may develop static electricity. The equipment being used, as well as objects in and around the spray area must be properly grounded to prevent static discharge and sparks.
•Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hoses for airless applications. Be sure that the gun is grounded properly through hose connections.
•Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint below 70° F (21° C). A fluid’s flashpoint is the temperature at which vapors from the fluid could ignite if exposed to a flame or spark.
•Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's safety precautions and warnings.
•When flushing equipment use the lowest possible pressure.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS - May cause property damage or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
•Do not use bleach.
•Do not use Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as methylene chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum and may cause an explosion. If you are unsure of a material’s compatibility with aluminum, contact your coating's supplier.

WARNING
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS - Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials may be harmful if inhaled, causing severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:
•Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled. Read all instructions with the mask to ensure that it will provide the necessary protection against the inhalation of harmful vapors.
HAZARD: GENERAL - May cause property damage or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
•Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating any equipment.
•Comply with all appropriate local, state, and national codes governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
•The United States Government Safety Standards have been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). These standards, particularly part 1910 of the General Standards and part 1926 of the Construction Standards should be consulted.
•This high pressure airless pump is designed to be used with manufacturer authorized parts only. When using this pump with parts that do not comply with the minimum specifications and safety devices of the pump manufacturer, the user assumes all risks and liabilities.
•Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of cover, as well as damage or movement of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with another grounded hose.
•All hoses, swivels, guns, and accessories used with this unit must be pressure rated at or above 2800 PSI.
•Do not spray on windy days.
•Wear protective eyewear.
•Protect skin from contact with toxic spray materials.
CAUTION
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A 14 or 12 gauge cord is recommended.
NOTE: Do not use more than 100 feet of extension cord. If you need to paint further than 100 feet from your power source, use more paint hose, not more extension cord. Shorter extension cords will ensure maximum electrical power for proper operation.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
