WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS.
Read and understand all instruction manuals before operating equipment.
FLUID INJECTION HAZARD
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 or on the skin 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 spray tip.
NEVER try to “blow back” paint; this is NOT an air
spray system.
ALWAYS have the tip guard in place on the spray
gun when spraying.
ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure,
below, before cleaning or removing the spray tip 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 to Physician: Injection in the skin is a
traumatic injury. 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.
Safety Latch
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/valve.
Trigger Guard
Always have the trigger guard in place on the gun
when spraying to reduce the risk of accidentally
triggering the gun 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 Procedure and then
remove the spray tip to clean it.
NEVER wipe off build-up around the spray tip until
pressure is fully relieved and the gun safety
latch/knob is engaged.
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including
fluid injection, splashing fluid or solvent in the eyes
or on the skin, or injury from moving parts or
electric shock, always follow this procedure
whenever you shut off the sprayer, when checking
or servicing any part of the spray system, when
installing, cleaning or changing spray tips, and
whenever you stop spraying.
1. Engage the spray gun trigger safety latch
2. Turn off the air to the feed pumps.
3. Turn off the air to the proportioning pump.
4. Close the gun manifold needle valves.
5. Disengage the trigger safety latch, trigger the
gun, to relieve pressure, and engage the trigger
safety again.
6. 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.
