• Always flush unit into separate metal container, at low
pump pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly
against side of container to ground container and prevent
static sparks.
• Follow material and solvent manufacturer's warnings and
instructions.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a
flashpoint below 70° F (21° C). Flashpoint is the
temperature at which a fluid can produce enough vapors
to ignite.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying flammable materials.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
GAS ENGINE (WHERE APPLICABLE)
Always place unit outside of structure in fresh air. Keep all
solvents away from engine exhaust. Never fill fuel tank with a
running or hot engine. Hot surface can ignite spilled fuel.
Always attach ground wire from pump to a grounded object.
Refer to engine owner’s manual for complete safety
information.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS - will cause severe injury or
property damage.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as
bleach, mildewcide, methylene chloride and 1,1,1 -
trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum.
• Contact your coating supplier about the compatibility of
material with aluminum.
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS - Paints, solvents,
insecticides, and other materials can be
harmful if inhaled or come in contact with body.
Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or
poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be inhaled. Read
all instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will
provide the necessary protection.
• Wear protective eyewear.
• Wear protective clothing as required by coating
manufacturer.
HAZARD: GENERAL - Can cause severe injury or
property damage.
PREVENTION:
• Read all instructions and safety precautions before
operating equipment.
• Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
• The United States Government Safety Standards have
been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA). These standards, particularly part 1910 of
the General Standards and part 1926 of the Construction
Standards, should be consulted.
• Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes
all risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet
the minimum specifications and safety devices of the
pump manufacturer.
• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion
or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of
couplings. Immediately replace hose if any of those
conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace with
a grounded high-pressure hose.
• All hoses, swivels, guns, and accessories must be
pressure rated at or above 2800 PSI / 19 MPa.
• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
• Wear clothing to keep paint off skin and hair.
• Always unplug cord from outlet before working on
equipment.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product
is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
— Improper installation of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation
having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is
the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding
pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you
are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
A 12 gauge cord is recommended. If an extension cord is
to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-
A after the cord type designation. For example, a
designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would
be appropriate for outdoor use.
