WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY.
FOR
PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS.
Read and understand instruction manuals before operating equipment.
H A Z A R D
General Safety
This equipment generates very high fluid pressure. Spray from
the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid
through your skin and into your body and cause extremely
serious bodily injury, including the need for amputation. Also,
fluid injected or splashed into the eyes can cause serious
damage.
NEVER point the spray gun at anyone or at any part of the
body. NEVER put hand or fingers over the nozzle.
ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, below,
before cleaning or removing the nozzle or servicing any system
equipment.
NEVER try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body.
Be sure equipment safety devices are operating properly
before each use.
Medical Alert -Airless Spray Wounds
If any fluid appears to penetrate your skin, get EMERGENCY
MEDICAL CARE AT ONCE. DO NOT TREAT AS A
SIMPLE CUT. Tell the doctor exactly what fluid was injected.
Note Physician:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic in-
jury. It is important to treat the injury surgically as soon
as possible. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity.
Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected
directly into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic
surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.
Spray Gun Safety Devices
Be sure all gun safety devices are operating properly before
each use. Do not remove or modify any part of the gun; this
can cause a malfunction and result in serious bodily injury.
Larch
Whenever you stop spraying, even for a moment, always set
the gun safety latch in the closed or “safe” position, making
the gun inoperative. Failure to set the safety latch can result in
accidental triggering of the gun.
Trigger
Guard
Never operate the gun with the trigger guard removed. This
guard helps prevent the gun from triggering accidentally if it is
dropped or bumped.
Nozzle Safety
Use extreme caution when cleaning or changing nozzles. If the
spray gun clogs while spraying, engage the gun safety latch
immediately. ALWAYS follow the Pressure
Relief Pro-
cedure and then remove the nozzle to clean it.
NEVER wipe off build-up around the nozzle until pressure is
fully relieved and the gun safety latch is engaged.
Pressure Relief Procedure
Always relieve the fluid pressure in the sprayer and hoses
before checking or adjusting any part of the system or any
component, to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, in-
cluding fluid injection, splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or
injury from moving parts or electric shock.

relieve pressure, and engage the trigger safety again.
Open both fluid filter drain valves, having a container
ready to catch the draining fluid.
7 . If you are working on any part of the heater, shut off the
main electrical power to the heater.
General Safety
Any misuse of the spray equipment or accessories, such as
overpressurizing, modifying parts, using incompatible
chemicals and fluids, or using worn or damaged parts, can
cause them to rupture and result in fluid injection or other
serious bodily injury, fire, explosion or property damage.
NEVER alter or modify any part
could cause it to malfunction. of this equipment;
doing so
CHECK all spray equipment regularly
worn or damaged parts immediately. and repair o r replace
ALWAYS read and follow the fluid and solvent
manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the use of protec-
tive clothing and equipment.
System Pressure
This system has a psi bar) MAXIMUM WORKING
PRESSURE. sure that all spray equipment and accessories
2
are rated to withstand the maximum working pressure of this
heater. DO NOT exceed the maximum working pressure of
any component or accessory used in the system.
Be sure that all accessories you add to the spray system are
properly rated to withstand the maximum air and fluid working
pressures of this system.
NEVER install any fluid shut off device at the fluid outlet of
either heater or filter. Shutting off the fluid at the outlet causes
high back pressure which can cause component rupture and
result in serious bodily injury.
Fluid Compatibility
BE SURE that all fluids and solvents used are chemically com-
patible with the wetted parts shown in the Technical Data on
the back cover. Always read the fluid and solvent manufac-
turer’s literature before using them in this system.
