Use only hose having a spring guard. The spring
guard helps protect the hose from kinks or other
damage which could result in hose rupture and
cause an injection injury.
NEVER use a damaged hose, which can result in
hose failure or rupture and cause an injection injury or
other serious bodily injury or property damage. Before
each use, check entire hose for cuts, leaks abrasion
or bulging of cover, or damage or movement of coup-
lings. If any of these conditions exist, replace the hose
immediately. Never use tape or any device to try to
mend the hose as it cannot contain the high pressure
fluid. NEVER ATTEMPT TO RECOUPLE THE HOSE.
High pressure hose is not recoupleable.
Help prevent damage to the hose by handling and
routing carefully. Do not move the sprayer by pulling it
with the hose.
Ground the sprayer & other components in the system
to reduce the risk of static sparking, fire or explosion
which can result in serious bodily injury and property
damage. For detailed instructions on how to ground,
check your local electrical code.
ALWAYS ensure switch is in OFF position before
plugging unit in.
HOSES
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 coup-
ling and result in an injection injury or serious bodily
injury.
GROUNDING
Always ground all of these components.
1. 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.
Use only a 3 wire extension cord that has a 3 blade
grounding plug, and a 3 slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. (Note: The table on the top of the next
page shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and name plate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
2. Air Hoses; use only grounded hoses.
3. Fluid hose: use only grounded hoses.
4. Spray gun or dispensing valve; grounding is ob-
tained through connection to a properly grounded fluid
hose and pump.
5. Object being sprayed; according to your local code.
6. All solvent pails used when flushing.
Once each week, check electrical resistance of hose
(when using multiple hose assemblies, check overall
resistance.) Overall (end to end) resistance of
unpressurized hose must not exceed 29 megohms
(max.) for any coupled length or combination of hose
lengths. If hose exceeds these limits, replace it immedi-
ately.
Never exceed 500 ft. (150 m) overall combined hose
length to assure electrical continuity.
WARNINGS
1. Engage gun safety latch. Refer to
separate instruction manual provided with
your gun on its safety features and how to
engage safety latch.
2. Turn unit off and
unplug from electrical outlet.
3. Disengage gun safety latch
and trigger gun to relieve
residual fluid pressure.
Hold
metal part of the gun in contact
with grounded metal pail.
Use minimum
pressure.
4. Turn Prime/pressure relief valve
(PR Valve) to the open (priming) position
to relieve residual fluid pressure.
There will be a wider gap between valve
handle and cam body when in open position.
Note: When in closed position there is only
a very slight gap.
Note: The valve handle can move both
CCW & CW and can face different direc
tions.
5. Re-engage gun safety latch.
*For overnight or long term storage close
prime/pressure relief valve.
Lock
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
To avoid possible serious bodily injury, including injection, always follow this procedure whenever the
sprayer is shut off, when checking or servicing it, when installing, changing or cleaning tips and
whenever you stop spraying or when you are instructed to relieve the pressure.
IF THE SPRAY TIP OR HOSE IS CLOGGED, follow Step 1 through 5 above. Expect paint splashing into the bucket
while relieving pressure during Step 4. If you suspect that pressure hasn't been relieved due to damaged prime/
pressure relief valve or other reason, VERY SLOWLY loosen the tip guard retaining nut or hose end couplings to
relieve pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear the tip, gun or hose obstruction.
