WARNING
HOT SURFACE AND FLUID HAZARD
Heated fluid can cause severe burns and can cause equipment surfaces to become very hot.
Wear eye protection, gloves and protective clothing when installing, operating, or servicing this
dispensing system.
Be sure to tighten the bleed stick after bleeding the air. Otherwise hot material will leak out of
the opening.
Do not touch the metal heat sink when the surface is hot.
Allow the equipment to cool thoroughly before servicing.
Do not wipe hot fluid that gets on your skin.
Some heated systems are designed to dispense Polyurethane (PUR) heated materials. PUR
systems are supplied with ventilation hoods, and require proper ventilation and specially designed
system components.
INJECTION HAZARD
Fluid from the spray gun/dispense valve, 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.

it is a serious injury. Get immediate
medical attention.

Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip/nozzle.
Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
