INJECTION HAZARD
1. The Mavrick gun is capable of spraying
coatings at high pressure. If you spray
yourself or anyone else at close range, the
stream of material can puncture the skin and
cause great harm (possible amputation).
2. NEVER point the gun at yourself or anyone
else. NEVER point the gun at your hands,
fingers, or body. ALWAYS keep the gun
trigger safety catch locked in the OFF
position when not in use.
3. DO NOT cover the tip and attempt to "blow
back" fluid. This is not an air sprayer.
4. If injury occurs, see your doctor
immediately! DO NOT TREAT THIS AS A
SIMPLE CUT. Inform your doctor
specifically of what fluid was injected.
AVOID STATIC SPARKING
Static electricity charge builds up by high
velocity liquid flowing through a hose during
flushing, cleaning, or spraying operations.
Proper grounding of the airless system safely
dissipates this charge.
GROUNDING THE PUMP
Installation of the ground wire attachment to a
metallic portion of the pump must insure a
secure metal-to-metal contact. The ground wire
must be 12 gauge minimum. A clamp must be
attached to a true earth ground and an
instrument test must be done to verify a
ground. Mounting is the user’s responsibility.
All high pressure airless systems must be
grounded to avoid dangerous static sparking,
explosion, or fire when spraying or flushing
with flammable liquids.
1. Use Binks NO-WIRE conductive hose in all
airless spraying operations. Be sure the gun
and hose have continuity. Check continuity
weekly with ohmmeter. Overall (end to end)
resistance of un-pressurized hose must not
exceed 29 mega ohms (max.) for any
coupled length or combination of hose
lengths.
2. Make sure the pump is grounded. NEVER
operate the unit when it is on a non-
grounded platform.
3. When flushing or cleaning with a
combustible solvent, always use an open
metallic container for receiving the waste
solvent. Ground the solvent receptacle.
4. Bond the spray gun to the waste container
with a grounding wire. Be sure there is good
metal to metal contact.
5. ALWAYS remove spray tip when flushing
the system. Operate the pump at the lowest
possible pressure.
PERSONAL SAFETY
CONSIDERATIONS
1. NEVER leave a pressurized sprayer
unattended.
2. DO NOT use fluids, coatings, or chemicals
which are not compatible with nylon hoses.
3. Periodically inspect all hoses for leaks and/
or abrasions and tighten all connections
before use. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
REPAIR a defective hose. REPLACE it
with another conductive hose.
4. Follow all warnings and precautions of the
coating and solvent manufacturers.
5. ALWAYS relieve pressure in the system by
turning bypass valve to BYPASS or
triggering spray gun before disassembly of
any component parts.
6. Exhausting air from a motor cycling with the
mufflers removed can exceed OSHA limits.
Thus, never operate the pump without proper
muffling.
7. NEVER attempt to loosen or remove fluid
hoses, or to disassemble the pump without
first performing the pressure relief procedure
as listed in the pumping equipment part sheet.
8. NEVER perform any disassembly procedure
unless the air motor air supply has been
turned off, the residual air has been
exhausted, and pressure in the air motor and
fluid ends have been relieved. Should air
pressure remain within the motor chamber,
the motor could cycle at any time.
9. Keep hands and fingers clear of the pump
manifold fluid inlet and the individual inlets.
The powerful suction can cause serious
bodily injury, and any breaks in the skin can
allow exposure to the chemicals in the
formulation being pumped.
10. Pressure relief procedure must be followed
whenever the pump is shut-off for cleaning,
servicing, or repairing any part of the air or
fluid system. This includes removing or
installing or cleaning spray gun tips or
nozzles. See the pressure relief procedure
in the pumping equipment part sheet.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
The spray gun is designed to use authorized
parts only. When using this gun with parts that
do not comply with the minimum specifications
and safety devices of Binks, the user assumes
all risks and liabilities.
