WARNING

INJECTION HAZARD

Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause
extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin
can also cause serious injury.

Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but

 

it is a serious injury. 

Get immediate medi-

cal attention.

Do not point the spray gun at anyone or at any part of the body.

Do not put hand or fingers over the spray tip.

Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.

Follow the 

Pressure Relief Procedure

 on page 17 whenever you: are instructed to relieve pres-

sure; stop spraying; clean, check, or service the equipment; or install or clean the spray tip.

Tighten all the fluid connections before operating the equipment.

Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn, damaged, or loose parts immediately.
Permanently coupled hoses cannot be repaired; replace the entire hose.

FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

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

Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed. See “Ground the System”

 

on page 13.

The ProMix control is intrinsically safe when used without any external electrical components
connected to it. If an external power supply or printer is connected to the control, the control is no
longer intrinsically safe and the control, as well as the power supply and printer, must not be oper-
ated in hazardous locations, as defined in article 500 of the National Electrical Code (USA) or your
local electrical code.

If using an external power supply, do not exceed the +24 volts maximum applied voltage. Discon-
nect electrical power at the main switch before servicing the equipment.

Turn off the air to the air driven power supply before servicing the equipment.

Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable vapors from solvent or the fluid being
sprayed.

Extinguish all the open flames or pilot lights in the spray area.

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

Do not turn on or off any light switch in the spray area while operating or if fumes are present.

Do not smoke in the spray area.

Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.

If there is any static sparking while using the equipment, 

stop spraying immediately

. Identify and

correct the problem.

Keep liquids away from the electrical components.
