The following are located in the literature set with the
registration card:
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
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.
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.
• The maximum operating range of the gun is 2500 PSI
fluid pressure.
• 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.
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 ( ).
• 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.
• The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking
and abuse. A leak is capable of injecting material into
the skin. Inspect the paint hose before each use.
• 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 2500 PSI.
This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
• DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A
SIMPLE CUT! A skin injection can lead to amputation.
See a physician immediately.
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
CAUTION
EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes can
explode or ignite, causing property damage and/or
severe injury.
• 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 spraying paints and other
flammable fluids which have 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.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS - May cause property damage or severe
injury.
HAZARDOUS VAPORS - Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials may be harmful if inhaled,
causing severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.
• 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.
GENERAL - May cause property damage or severe
injury.
• 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 2500 PSI.
• Do not spray on windy days.
• Do not use bleach.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents.
• Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as methylene
chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane 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.
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.
