SAFETY WARNINGS
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY FROM THE
PRIMING PISTON DURING OPERATION AND
WHENEVER THE PUMP IS CHARGED WITH AIR
to reduce the risk of injury! On the pump
downstroke the priming piston extends beyond the
intake cylinder to pull the material into the pump.
The priming piston works under extreme force.
During operation and whenever the pump is
charged with air, the priming piston can severely
injure or amputate a hand or finger, or break a tool
caught between it and the intake cylinder.
Always follow the Pressure Relief Procedure,
below, before checking, clearing, cleaning, flushing
or servicing any part of the pump.
The air motor piston (located behind the air motor
shield) also moves when air is supplied to the
motor. NEVER operate the pump with the air
motor shield removed. Before servicing the pump,
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure below to
prevent the pump from starting accidentally.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
General Safety
Any misuse of the spray equipment or accessories,
such as overpressurizing, modifying parts, using
incompatible fluids and solvent, or using worn or
damaged parts, can cause them to rupture and
result in injection or other serious bodily injury, fire,
explosion or property damage.
NEVER alter or modify any part of this equipment;
doing so could cause it to malfunction.
CHECK all spray equipment regularly and repair or
replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
Always read and follow the fluid and solvent
manufacturers recommendations regarding the use
of protective clothing and equipment.
Always shut off the power to the pump and relieve
all air and fluid pressure in the system before
checking, adjusting or repairing the system to
reduce the risk of bodily injury, including eye injury
from the unexpected release of fluid from the
system.
System Pressure
The maximum working pressure of this pump is
600 PSI (42 bar) at a maximum incoming air
pressure of 120 PSI (8.4 bar).
Never exceed the maximum working pressure of
this pump or of the lowest rated accessory in your
system.
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including
fluid injection, splashing in the eyes or on the skin,
or injury from moving parts, always follow this
procedure whenever you shut off the pump, when
checking or servicing any part of the
spray/dispensing system, when installing, cleaning
or changing spray tips/nozzles, and whenever you
stop spraying/dispensing.
1. Engage the spray gun safety latch.
2. Shut off the air to the pump.
3. Close the bleed-type master air valve (required
in your system).
4. Disengage the safety latch.
5. Hold a metal part of the spray gun firmly to the
side of a grounded metal pail, and trigger the
spray gun to relieve pressure.
6. Engage the spray gun safety latch.
7. Open the drain valve and/or the pump bleeder
valve (required in your system), having a
container ready to catch the drainage.
8. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready
to spray/dispense again.
If you suspect that the spray tip/nozzle or hose is
completely clogged, or that pressure has not been
fully relieved after following the steps above,
VERY SLOWLY loosen the retaining nut or hose
end coupling and relieve pressure gradually, then
loosen completely. Now clear the tip/nozzle or
hose.
