WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. 
To help prevent fire and explosion:

Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric 
lamps, and plastic drop cloths (potential static arc). 

Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.

Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes 
are present.

Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.

If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not 
use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.

Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the 
eyes or on skin and cause serious injury.

Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and 
before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment. 

Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts 
immediately.

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest 
rated system component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.

Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See 
Technical Data in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s 
warnings.

Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

Do not alter or modify equipment.

Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your Graco distributor for 
information.

Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and 
hot surfaces.

Do not kink or overbend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.

Keep children and animals away from work area.

Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
