WARNINGS - Continued
Leave prime valve OPEN until you are ready to
spray again.
4. Re-engage gun
safety latch
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
To avoid possible serious bodily injury, including injection, always follow this procedure whenever the
sprayer is shut off, when checking or servicing it, when installing or changing the tips, whenever you stop
spraying or when you are instructed to relieve the pressure.
1. Engage gun safety latch. Refer to
separate instruction manual provided
with your gun on its safety features
and how to en gage safe ty latch.
5. Turn Prime/Pressure Relief Valve
as shown open (priming) to
relieve fl uid pressure.
IF THE SPRAY TIP OR HOSE IS CLOGGED, follow Step 1 through 5 above. Expect paint splashing into the
bucket while relieving pressure during Step 5. If you suspect that pressure hasn't been relieved due to
dam aged prime/pressure relief valve or other reason, engage gun safety latch and take your sprayer to an
au tho rized Airlessco Service Center for service.
OPEN
2. Turn engine off.
3. Disengage safety latch &
trigger gun to relieve residual
fl uid pressure. Hold metal part of the gun in contact
with grounded metal pail.
Keep all labels on the unit clean and readable. Re place -
ment labels are available from manufacturer.
LABELING
Always follow recommended pressure & operating
instructions:
HOSES
Tighten all fl uid connections securely before each use.
High pressure fl uid can dislodge a loose coupling or allow
high pressure spray to be emitted from the coupling and
result in an injection injury or serious bodily injury.
Use only hose that has a spring guard. The spring guard
helps protect the hose from kinks or other damage which
could result in hose rupture and cause an injection injury.
NEVER use a damaged hose, which can result in hose
failure or rupture and cause in injection injury or other
se ri ous bodily injury or bodily damage. Before each use,
check entire hose for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of
cover, or damage or movement of couplings. If any of
these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
Nev er use tape or any device to try to mend the hose
as it cannot con tain the high pressure fl uid. NEVER AT-
TEMPT TO RECOUPLE THE HOSE. High pressure hose
is not recoupleable.
Help prevent damage to the hose by handling and rout-
ing carefully. Do not move the sprayer by pulling it with
the hose.
GROUNDING
Ground the sprayer and other components in the sys tem
to reduce the risk of static sparking, fi re or explosion
which can result in serious bodily injury and property
damage.
Always ground all of these components:
1. Sprayer: Connect a ground wire and clamp (supplied)
to a true earth ground.
2. Fluid Hose: use only grounded hoses.
3. Spray gun or dispensing valve: grounding is obtained
through connection to a properly grounded fl uid hose
and pump.
4. Object being sprayed: according to your local code.
5. All solvent pails used when fl ushing should only be
metal pails which are conductive.
Once each week, check electrical resistance of hose
(when using multiple hose assemblies, check overall
re sis tance of unpressurized hose must not exceed 29
me go hms (max) for any coupled length or combination
of hose lengths. If hose exceeds these limits, replace it
im me di ate ly.
Never exceed 500 Ft. (150 m.) overall combined hose
length to assure electrical continuity.
