Information

Read all safety information before operating
the equipment. Save these instructions

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

 a) Toreducetherisksofreorexplosion,electrical

shock and the injury to persons, read and
understand all instructions included in this manual.
Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of
the equipment.

 b)WARNING-Toreducetheriskofre

orexplosion:

1. Do not spray ammable or combustible
materials near an open ame, pilot lights or sources
of ignition such as hot objects, cigarettes, motors,
electrical equipment and electrical appliances. Avoid

creating sparks from connecting and disconnecting
power cords.

2. Use extreme caution when using materials with

a ashpoint below 70ºF (21ºC). Flashpoint is the
temperature that a uid can produce enough vapors to

ignite.

3. Paint or solvent owing through the equipment is able

to result in static electricity. Static electricity creates

a risk of re or explosion in the presence of paint or
solvent fumes. All parts of the spray system, including
the pump, hose assembly, spray gun and objects in

and around the spray area shall be properly grounded
to protect against static discharge and sparks. Use only

conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint
sprayer hoses specied by the manufacturer.

4. Verify that all containers and collection systems are
grounded to prevent static discharge.

5. Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded

extension cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3

to 2 adapter.

6. Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide,

methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier
about compatibility of material with aluminum.

7. Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good
supply of fresh air moving through the area to keep

the air within the spray area free from accumulation

of ammable vapors. Keep pump assembly in well
ventilated area. Do not spray pump assembly.

8. Do not smoke in the spray area.

9. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar

spark producing products in the spray area.

10. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent
containers, rags, and other ammable materials.

11. Know the contents of the paint and solvents being

sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets

(MSDS) and container labels provided with the
paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvent

manufacture’s safety instructions.

12. Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) from the
spray object in a well ventilated area (add more
hose if necessary). Flammable vapors are often
heavier than air. Floor area must be extremely well
ventilated. The pump contains arcing parts that
emit sparks and can ignite vapors.

13. Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic

to enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop

cloths when spraying ammable material.

14. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and
working.

c) WARNING - To reduce the risk of skin

injection:

1. Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person

or animal.

2. Keep hands and other body parts away from the

discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks

with any part of the body.

3. Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray
without the nozzle tip guard in place.

4. Only use a nozzle tip specied by the

manufacturer.

5. Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle
tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs while

spraying, ALWAYS lock gun trigger, shut pump
off, and release all pressure before servicing,
cleaning tip or guard, or changing tip. Pressure

will not be released by turning off the motor. The

PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must
be turned to their appropriate positions to relieve

system pressure. Refer to PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE described in the pump manual.

6. Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure
while unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn
off the unit and relieve the pressure in accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions.

7. High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into
the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the

event that injection occurs, seek medical attention

immediately.

8. Check hoses and parts for signs of damage, a

leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect hose
before each use. Replace any damaged hoses or
parts.

9. This system is capable of producing 3000 PSI / 207
Bar. Only use replacement parts or accessories

that are specied by the manufacturer and that are

rated a minimum of 3000 PSI. This includes spray

tips, nozzle guards, guns, extensions, ttings, and

hose.

10. Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying.

Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly.

11. Verify that all connections are secure before

operating the unit.

12. Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure
quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
Pressure will not be released by turning off the

motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed
valve must be turned to their appropriate positions
to relieve system pressure. Refer to PRESSURE

RELIEF PROCEDURE described in the pump
manual.

13. Always remove the spray tip before ushing or

cleaning the system.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is

important to treat the injury as soon as possible.

DONOTdelaytreatmenttoresearchtoxicity.

directly into the blood stream. Consultation with
a plastic surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon
may be advisable.

d) WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury:

1. Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection,

clothing and a respirator or mask when painting.

Hazardous vapors – Paints, solvents, insecticides,

and other materials can be harmful if inhaled or

come in contact with body. Vapors can cause
severe nausea, fainting or poisoning.

2. Wear ear protection. This unit can produce noise

levels above 85 dB(A).

3. Do not operate or spray near children. Keep
children away from equipment at all times.

4. Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support.
Keep effective footing and balance at all times.

5. Stay alert and watch what you are doing.

6. Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the

inuence of drugs or alcohol.

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.

13. Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks,
abrasion or bulging of cover. Check for damage or
movement of couplings. Immediately replace hose if
any of those conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose.
Replace with a conductive high-pressure hose.

14. Do not spray outdoors on windy days.

15. Always unplug cord from outlet before working on

equipment (electric models only).

Gasoline Engine Safety

Theengineexhaustfromthisunitcontains

chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.

• Gas engines are designed to give safe and dependable
service if operated according to instructions. Read

and understand the engine Owner’s Manual before
operating the engine. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.

• To prevent re hazards and to provide adequate
ventilation, keep the engine at least 1 meter (3 feet)

away from buildings and other equipment during

operation. Do not place ammable objects close to the

engine.

• To prevent re or explosion hazard, avoid spraying or
splashing any ammable solvent near the engine.

• Children and pets must be kept away from the area of

operation due to a possibility of burns from hot engine
components or injury from any equipment the engine
may be used to operate.

• Know how to stop the engine quickly, and understand
the operation of all controls. Never permit anyone to

operate the engine without proper instructions.

• Gasoline is extremely ammable and is explosive under

certain conditions.

• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow ames or sparks in the refueling

area or where gasoline is stored.

• Do not overll the fuel tank. After refueling, make

sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely.

• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Fuel
vapor or spilled fuel may ignite. If any fuel is
spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting

the engine.

• Never run the engine in an enclosed or conned

area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas; exposure may cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death.

• The mufer becomes very hot during operation

and remains hot for a while after stopping the

engine. Be careful not to touch the mufer while
it is hot. To avoid severe burns or re hazards, let

the engine cool before transporting it or storing it
indoors.

• Never ship/transport unit with gasoline in the tank.

• Never dispose of the unit when it is lled with oil
or gas. Follow all appropriate local, state, and

national regulations when disposing of the unit.

Safety Shut-Off Switch

The safety shut-off switch is pre-set by the factory to

shut down the sprayer to prevent over-pressurization.

Do not attempt to adjust or tamper with the safety shut-

off switch. Contact an authorized service center if this

setting requires adjustment.

NOTE: The safety shut-off switch should be set

to shut down the sprayer between 3200 –
3300 PSI.

Fueling (gas engine)

Gasolineisextremelyflammableandis
explosiveundercertainconditions.

• ALWAYS turn the engine off before refueling.

• Refuel in a well-ventilated area.

• Do not smoke or allow ames or sparks in the

refueling area or where gasoline is stored.

• Do not overll the fuel tank. After refueling, make

sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely.

• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled
fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled,

make sure the area is dry before starting the
engine.

• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or
breathing of vapor.

• Keep out of the reach of children.

FuelSpecications

• Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane
number of 86 or higher, or that has a research

octane number of 91 or higher. Use of a lower
octane gasoline can cause persistent “pinging”

or heavy “spark knock” (a metallic rapping noise)
which, if severe, can lead to engine damage.

NOTE: If “spark knock” or “pinging” occurs

NOTE: Occasionallyyoumayexperiencelight

• Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and spark

• Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/

Gasolines Containing Alcohol

If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol

(gasohol), be sure its octane rating is at least as high as

that recommended by the engine manufacturer. There

are two types of “gasohol”: one containing ethanol, and

the other containing methanol. Do not use gasohol that
contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasoline

containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does
not also contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors for
methanol. Never use gasoline containing more than
5% methanol, even if it has co-solvents and corrosion

inhibitors.

NOTE:

Before buying gasoline from an unfamiliar

at a steady engine speed under normal
load, change brands of gasoline. If
spark knock or pinging persists, consult
an authorized dealer of the engine
manufacturer. Failure to do so is
considered misuse, and damage caused
by misuse is not covered by the engine
manufacturer’s limited warranty.
