• To prevent the risk of electrostatic sparking, the equipment’s non-metallic parts should be
cleaned only with a damp cloth.
• The aluminum housing may spark upon impact or contact with moving parts, which may
cause fire or explosion. Take precautions to avoid such impact or contact.
• All flameproof joints are critical to the integrity of the driver as approved for hazardous
locations and are not repairable if damaged. Damaged parts must be replaced only with
genuine Graco parts with no substitutions.
• Consult Graco Technical Assistance or your Graco distributor if dimensional information on
the flameproof joints is necessary.
• Consult Graco Technical Assistance or your Graco distributor for genuine replacement
fasteners. M8 x 30 socket-head cap screws of Class 12.9 steel or better with a minimum
yield strength of 1100 MPa (160,000 psi) are acceptable alternatives. All socket-head cap
screw cover fasteners must be torqued to 15 ft-lb (20.3 N•m).
