Product Warnings and Cautions (cont.)

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in a fire or explosion and serious injury.

Ground the equipment and the object being dispensed to.  See Grounding  in your separate pump
manual.

If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop dis-
pensing immediately.
  Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.

Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid
being dispensed.

Keep the dispensing area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.

Do not smoke in the dispensing area.

MOVING PARTS HAZARD

Moving parts, such as the air motor piston, can pinch or amputate your fingers.

Do not operate the pump with the air motor plates removed.

Do not insert fingers in overflow port when filling reservoir.

Keep clear of all moving parts when you start or operate the pump.

Before you service this equipment, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in your separate pump
manual to prevent the equipment from starting unexpectedly.
