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 requirements 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.
• All hoses and fittings must be secured before operating spray
pump. Unsecured parts can eject at great force or leak a high
pressure fluid stream causing severe injury.
• All hoses, swivels, guns, and accessories must be pressure
rated at or above 3000 PSI/207 BAR.
• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
• Wear clothing to keep paint off skin and hair.

Important Electrical Information
nOTICE -
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 14 or 12
gauge cord is recommended (see chart below). 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.

Do not use more than 100 feet of spray hose. If you need to
spray further than 100 feet from your power source, use more
extension cord, not more spray hose.

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.
WARnInG - 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 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.
