Equipment Misuse Hazard
<<General Safety Precautions>>
●
Misuse, such as use of too much pressure, unauthorized component modification, improper paints
or solvents, use of worn or broken part, may result in a serious accident like pump breakage,
unexpected fluid injection, fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin that possibly causes personal
injury, or even fire or explosion.
●
Don’t alter or modify pump parts without our authorization or approval, for such a change may result
in equipment failure or malfunction.
●
Inspect the whole system periodically. Repair or replace parts as required.
●
When conducting spray operation, always wear eye protection, protective clothing, and breathing
protection recommended by the paint/solvent manufacturer.
Depending on the kind of pint fluid used and the ventilation performance, additional personal
protective equipment may be required. Please check it out with the paint/solvent manufacturer.
<<Equipment Interior Pressure>>
●
Confirm the maximum fluid working pressure and maximum air input pressure of the pump.
Be careful not to exceed these maximum pressures when operating the pump.
Also, make sure that all component parts used for the equipment, such as hoses, connectors,
swivels, are compatible with the maximum pressures.
Should you find them not, set the pump at a pressure that does not exceed the lowest maximum
operating pressure of all parts and accessories used with the equipment.
●
Each time you use the equipment, retighten all the joints before use.
<<Paint/Solvent Compatibility>>
Check the compatibility of the paint and solvent with the “material of the pump parts they come into
contact with” against the parts material specifications provided by the pump manufacturer -- before you
introduce the fluid (paint/solvent) into the pump.
<<Hose Safety Precautions>>
●
High-pressure fluid in the hose can be very dangerous: it could cause injury to the operator or
damage to the equipment, spewing out of cracks, damage, wear in the hose, triggered by misuse or
spontaneously.
●
Please handle hose carefully.
To move a hose from one place to another, don’t pull, but carry.
Don’t use paint or solvent that is not compatible with the interior and exterior materials of the hose.
●
Check the hose for bending or squeezing, for if there is it may cause a local
Concentration of pressure, causing possible fluid leak.
●
Don’t leave hose in an environment where temperature may go up to 80
C or higher or where it may
go down to - 40
C or lower.
●
Securely retighten hose connectors and joints before use.
●
Never use a broken hose.
Check the hose throughout its length for cut, fluid leak, wear, blister, scratches, and loose fittings.
Should you find anything wrong, stop using the hose right there and then, and replace.
