An airless spray gun requires that fluid be
introduced to it at very high pressure. Fluids
under high pressure, from spray or leaks, can
penetrate the skin and inject substantial quan-
tities of toxic fluid into the body. If not
promptly and properly treated, the injury can
cause tissue death or gangrene and may
result in serious, permanent disability or
amputation of the wounded part. Therefore,
extreme caution must be exercised when
using any airless spray equipment.
IF YOU
ARE INJECTED, SEE A PHYSICIAN IMME-
DIATELY. DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE
CUT!
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the
skin is a serious, traumatic injury. It is impor-
tant to treat the injury surgically as soon as
possible. Do not delay treatment to research
toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some exotic
coatings injected directly into the bloodstream.
Consultation with a plastic surgeon or a
reconstructive hand surgeon may be advised.
1) Handle the spray gun carefully. Keep
clear of the nozzle.
NEVER
point the gun at
yourself or anyone else.
NEVER
permit any
part of your body to come in contact with the
fluid stream of either the gun or any hose
leak.
ALWAYS
keep the gun trigger safety
lever in a locked position when not spraying.
ALWAYS
use a tip safety guard.
2)
NEVER
attempt to force the flow of fluid
backward through the gun with your finger,
hand or hand-held object against the gun noz-
zle.
THIS IS NOT AN AIR SPRAY GUN.
3)
NEVER
attempt to remove tip, disas-
semble or repair equipment without first doing
the following:
4) Before flushing system, always remove
spray tip and adjust fluid pressure to lowest
possible setting.
5) Tighten all fluid connections before each
use.
NEVER
exceed 3000 psi (207 bar) with
this unit. Make sure that all accessory hoses,
connections, swivels and so forth can with-
stand the high pressures which develop.
NEVER
exceed the pressure rating of any
component in the system.
6)
WARNING:
The paint hose can develop
leaks from wear, kinking, abuse, etc. A leak is
capable of injecting fluid into the skin, there-
fore the paint hose should be inspected
before each use.
NEVER
attempt to plug a
hose with any part of your body, adhesive
tape or any other makeshift device. Do not
attempt to repair a spray hose. Instead,
replace it with a new grounded hose. Use
only with hoses that have spring guards.
NEVER
use less than 50' (15,2m) of hose
with this unit.
7) Be sure that the airless equipment being
used and the object being sprayed are prop-
erly grounded to prevent static discharge or
sparks which could cause fire or explosion.
WARNING:
ALWAYS
hold the gun against
metal container when flushing system with tip
removed, to prevent static discharge.
CAU-
TION:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This prod-
uct should 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 ground-
ing wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire
with insulation having an outer surface that is
green (with or without yellow stripes) is the
grounding wire. Check with a qualified electri-
cian or serviceman if the grounding instruc-
tions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if
it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
• This product is for use on a nominal 120-
volt circuit and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated below.
• 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.
EXTENSION CORDS
: Use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-slot receptacle
that will accept the plug on the pump. 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 this
pump will draw.
For lengths less than
Use extension gauge
25 ft. (7,5 meters)
16 AWG
50 ft. (15 meters)
14 AWG
100 ft. (30 meters)
12 AWG
150 ft. (45 meters)
10 AWG
An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
8)
ALWAYS
keep the working area around
the pump well ventilated. Additionally, the
pump itself should be a minimum of 25'
(7.5m) from the spray area. If these instruc-
tions are not followed, there is the possibility
of fire or explosion with certain materials.
ALWAYS
follow the coating or solvent manu-
facturer's safety precautions and warnings.
Never spray flammable material near open
flames, pilot lights or any source of ignition.
9)
ALWAYS
wear spray masks and protec-
tive eyewear while spraying. Additional per-
sonal protective equipment may be required
depending on the type of material being
sprayed and conditions of ventilation. Always
contact supplier of material being sprayed for
recommendation.
10) Keep all extension poles clear of elec-
trical wires.
11)
NEVER
alter or modify any part of this
equipment; doing so could cause it to mal-
function.
12)
NEVER
leave equipment unattended.
Keep away from children or anyone not famil-
iar with the operation of airless equipment.

WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
Maximum Working Pressure 3000 psi, 207 bar
IMPORTANT -- PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE
ALWAYS reduce pressure when you are
cleaning a clogged tip, changing a tip,
servicing any part of the system, or
shutting down. Follow the steps below:
1. Engage the gun trigger lock.
2. Shut off the power source.
3. Close the orange handle shut-off ball
valve on the hydraulic pressure hose.
4. Open the Pressure Bleed Valve by
turning it counterclockwise at least
three full turns.
5. Disengage the gun trigger lock and
hold trigger open until flow of material
stops.
6. Be certain to hold a metal part of the
gun firmly to the side of a grounded
metal container.
7. Reset trigger safety to locked posi-
tion.
