Important Safety 

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 fire 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 fire 

or explosion:

  1.  Do not spray flammable or combustible 

materials near an open flame, 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 flashpoint below 70ºF (21ºC). Flashpoint is the 

temperature that a fluid can produce enough vapors to 

ignite.

  3.  Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able 

to result in static electricity.  Static electricity creates 

a risk of fire 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 specified 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 flammable 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 flammable 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 flammable 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 specified 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 specified by the manufacturer and that are 

rated a minimum of 3000 PSI.  This includes spray 

tips, nozzle guards, guns, extensions, fittings, 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 flushing 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. 

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.

  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 

influence of drugs or alcohol.
