General Safety
Any misuse of the spray equipment or accessories, such as
overpressurizing, modifying parts, using incompatible
chemicals and materials, or using worn or damaged parts, can
cause them to rupture and result in injection or other serious
bodily injury, fire, explosion or property damage.
NEVER alter or modify any part
could cause it to malfunction.

MAXIMUM
PRESSURE.
Be sure that ail spray equipment and
accessories are rated to withstand the maximum working
pressure of this sprayer. DO NOT exceed the maximum work-
ing pressure of any component or accessory used in the
system.
Material Corn
BE SURE that al
atibility
materials and solvents used are chemically
compatible with the wetted parts shown in the Technical Data
on the back cover. Always read the material and solvent
manufacturer’s literature before using them in this sprayer.
HOSE SAFETY
2 .
High pressure fluid in the hoses can be very dangerous. If the
hose develops a pinhole leak, split or rupture due to any kind
of wear, damage or misuse, the high pressure spray emitted
from it can cause an injection injury or other serious bodily in-
jury or property damage.
ALL FLUID HOSES MUST HAVE SPRING GUARDS! The
spring guards help protect the hose from kinks or bends at or
close to the coupling which can result in hose rupture.
TIGHTEN all fluid connections securely before each use. High
pressure fluid can dislodge a loose coupling or allow high
pressure spray to be emitted from the coupling.
NEVER use a damaged hose. Before each use, check entire
hose for cuts, leaks, abrasion, bulging cover, or damage or
movement of the hose couplings. If any of these conditions
exist, replace the hose immediately. DO NOT try to recouple
high pressure hose or mend it with tape or any other device. A
repaired hose cannot contain the high pressure fluid.
HANDLE AND ROUTE HOSES CAREFULLY. Do not pull on
hoses to move equipment. Do not use materials or solvents
which are not compatible with the inner tube and cover of the
hose. DO NOT expose the hose to temperatures above
or below
Hose Grounding Continuity
The fluid hoses provided with this sprayer have electrically
conductive material on the surface of the center core of the
hose. Other hoses on the market may have a ground wire ex-
tending the length of the hose. The ground wire can break in
use which will destroy the electrical grounding of the hose.
To be sure of continuity, check electrical resistance at least
once a week. Check overall resistance when using multiple
hose assemblies. If the resistance exceeds 29 megohms,
replace it immediately. Ground wire hose may have different
resistance; check supplier.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Static electricity is created by the high velocity flow of fluid
through the pump and hose. If every part of the spray equip-
ment is not properly grounded, sparking may occur, and the
system may become hazardous. Sparking may also occur
when plugging in or unplugging a power supply cord. Sparks
can ignite fumes from solvents and the fluid being sprayed,
dust particles and other flammable substances, whether you
are spraying indoors or outdoors, and can cause a fire or ex-
plosion and serious bodily injury and property damage.
Always plug the sprayer into an outlet at least 20 feet
away from the sprayer and the spray area. Do not plug in or
unplug any power supply cords in the spray area when there is
any chance of igniting fumes still in the air.
To reduce t e risk of static sparking, ground the sprayer and
all other spray equipment used or located in the spray area.
CHECK your local electrical code for detailed grounding in-
structions for your area and type of equipment. BE SURE to
ground all of this spray equipment:

Sprayer:
plug the power supply cord, or extension cord,
each equipped with an undamaged three-prong plug, into
a properly grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter. All ex-
tension cords must have three wires and be rated for 15
amps.
Fluid hoses:
use only grounded hoses with a maximum of
500 feet
combined hose length to ensure ground-
ing continuity. Refer to Hose Grounding Continuity.
Spray gun:
obtain grounding through connection to a
properly grounded fluid hose and sprayer.
Object being sprayed:
according to local code.
All solvent
used when flushing, according to local
code.
Use only
which are conductive. Do not
place the pail on a non-conductive surface, such as paper
or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or reliev-
ing pressure,
always hold a metal part of the gun firmly to
the side of a
metal
pail, then trigger the gun.
Safety
Reduce t e risk of injection injury, static sparking, or splashing
by following the specific flushing procedure given on page 9
of this manual. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on
page 2, and
remove the spray tip before flushing.
Hold a
metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a
pail and use
the lowest possible fluid pressure during flushing.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD’
. .
Moving parts can pinch or amputate your fingers or other
body parts. KEEP CLEAR of moving parts when starting or
operating the sprayer. Unplug the sprayer and relieve pressure
before checking or servicing the sprayer to prevent it from
starting accidentally.

United States Government safety standards have been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. These standards-par-
ticularly the General Standards, Part 1910, and the Construction Standards, Part
