WARNINGS - Continued
WARNING
Do not use halogenated solvents in this sys tem.
The prime valve, 2 gun manifold and most air less
guns have aluminum parts and may ex plode.
Clean ing agents, coat ings, paints or ad he sives
may con tain halogenated hy dro car bon sol vents.
DON"T TAKE CHANCES! Con sult your ma te ri al
suppliers to be sure. Some of the most com mon
of these sol vents are: Carbontetrachloride, Chlo-
roben zene, Dichloroethane, Dichloroethyl Ether,
Ethylbromide, Ethylchloride, Tethrachloethane.
Al ter nate valves and guns are available if you
need to use these solvents.
GAS ENGINE PRECAUTIONS
Locate unit 25 feet away from spray area in well vent-
ilated area. NEVER operate in closed building unless
exhaust is piped outside. NEVER allow hose to lay
against engine mufflers or hot parts. NEVER refill
fuel tank while engine is hot or is running.
Important: United States Government safety stan dards
have been adopted under the Oc cu pa tion al Safety &
Health Act. These stan dards, par tic u lar ly the Gen er al
Standards, Part 1910, & the Con struc tion Stan dards,
part 1926 should be con sult ed.
AVOID COMPONENT RUPTURE
This sprayer operates at 3000 psi (205 bar). Al ways
be sure that all com po nents and accessories have a
max i mum work ing pres sure of at least 3000 psi to avoid
rup ture which can result in serious bodily injury including
in jec tion and prop er ty damage.
NEVER leave a pressurized sprayer unattended to avoid
ac ci den tal operation of it which could result in serious
bodily in ju ry.
ALWAYS follow the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
whenever you stop spraying and before adjusting, re-
mov ing or repairing any part of the sprayer.
NEVER alter or modify any part of the equipment to avoid
possible component rupture which could result in serious
bodi ly injury and property damage.
NEVER use weak or damaged or non-conductive paint
hose. Do not allow kinking or crushing of hoses or allow it
to vibrate against rough or sharp or hot surfaces. Before
each use, check hoses for damage and wear and ensure
all fl uid connections are secure.
REPLACE any damaged hose. NEVER use tape or any
device to mend the hose.
NEVER attempt to stop any leakage in the line or fi ttings
with your hand or any part of the body. Turn off the unit
and release pressure by following PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE.
ALWAYS use approved high pressure fi ttings and re-
place ment parts.
ALWAYS ensure fi re extinquishing equipment is readily
avail able and properly maintained.
WHEN SPRAYING & CLEANING WITH FLAMMABLE PAINTS OR THINNERS:
1. When spraying with fl ammable liquids, the unit must be located a minimum of 25 feet away from the spraying
area in a well ventilated area. Ventilation must be suffi cient enough to prevent the accumulation of vapors.
2. To eliminate electrostatic discharge, ground the spray unit, paint bucket and spraying object. Use only high
pressure airless hoses approved for 3000 psi which is conductive.
3. Remove spray tip before cleaning gun and hose. Make contact of gun with bucket and spray without the tip in
a well ventilated area, into the grounded steel bucket.
4. Never use high pressure in the cleaning process. USE MINIMUM PRESSURE.
5. Do not smoke in spraying/cleaning area.
FLUSHING
Reduce the risk of injection injury, static sparking or
splash ing by following the specifi c cleaning procedure
on page 4 and 9.
ALWAYS follow the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
on page 8.
ALWAYS remove the spray tip before fl ush ing. Hold a
met al part of the gun fi rmly to the side of a metal pail and
use the lowest possible fl uid pressure dur ing fl ushing.
NEVER use cleaning solvents with fl ash points below 140
degress F. Some of these are: acetone, benzene, ether,
gas o line, naphtha. Consult your supplier to be sure.
PREVENT STATIC SPARKED FIRE/ EXPLOSIONS
ALWAYS be sure all equipment and objects being sprayed
are properly grounded. Always ground sprayer, paint buck et
and object being sprayed. See "grounding" on page 8 for
detailed grounding information.
Vapors created when spraying can be ignited by sparks.
To reduce the risk of fi re, always locate the sprayer at least
20 feet (6 m.) away from the spray area. Do not plug in or
unplug any electrical cords in the spray area, which can
create sparks, when there is any chance of igniting vapors
still in the air. Follow the coating & solvent man u fac tur ers
safety warnings and pre cau tions.
Use only conductive fl uid hoses for airless applications. Be
sure gun is grounded through hose connections. Check
ground continuity in hose & equipment. Overall (end to
end) re sis tance of unpressurized hose must not exceed 29
megohms for any coupled length or combination of hose
length. Use only high pressure airless hoses with static wire
approved for 3000 psi.
