• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit
(electric models only).
• Always flush unit into a 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 the 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 that a fluid can produce enough vapors to
ignite.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose a 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 pump outside of structure in fresh air. Keep all
solvents away from the engine exhaust. Never fill fuel tank
with a running or hot engine. Hot surface can ignite spilled
fuel. Always attach ground wire from pump unit to a grounded
object, such as a metal water pipe. 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
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 the
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 - This product can cause severe
injury or property damage.
PREVENTION:
• Read all instructions and safety precautions before
operating equipment.
• Always disconnect the motor from the power supply
before working on the equipment (electric models only).
• 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 the hose if
any of these conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose.
Replace it with another grounded high-pressure hose.
• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
• Wear clothing to keep paint off skin and hair.
Grounding Instructions
Electric models 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.
This product is rated more than 15 amperes and is for use on
a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 volts, or the product is
for use on a circuit having a nominal rating more than 120
volts, and is factory-equipped with a specific electric cord and
plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make
sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used
with this product. If the product must be reconnected for use
on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should
be made by qualified service personnel.
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.
For lengths less than 50 feet, No. 12 AWG extension cords
should be used. 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.
