WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the valve, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause ex-
tremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin can
also cause serious injury.
D
Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury.
Get immediate
surgical treatment.
D
Do not point the valve at anyone or at any part of the body.
D
Do not put your hand or fingers over the grease fitting coupler.
D
Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
D
Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
D
Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
Do not repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.
D
Use only Graco approved hoses.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin,
inhaled, or swallowed.
D
Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.
D
Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local,
state and national guidelines.
D
Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and
solvent manufacturer.
Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Fluid under high pressure can be in-
jected through the skin and cause seri-
ous injury. To reduce the risk of an injury
from injection, splashing fluid, or moving parts, fol-
low the
Pressure Relief Procedure
whenever you:
D
are instructed to relieve the pressure,
D
stop dispensing,
D
check or service any of the system equipment,
D
or install or clean the nozzle.
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, and before inspect-
ing, removing, cleaning or repairing any part of the
pump or system.
1.
Close the supply pump’s bleed–type master air
valve
(required in pneumatic systems)
.
2.
Open the dispensing valve until pressure is fully
relieved.
3.
Open the fluid drain valve at the pump fluid outlet.
Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to
use the system again.
NOTE:
If you suspect the dispensing valve,
extension or grease fitting coupler is clogged, or
that pressure has not been fully relieved after
following all the previous steps,
using a rag VERY
SLOWLY loosen the coupler or hose end coupling
and allow pressure to be relieved gradually, then
loosen the part completely. Now clear the clog.
