AVOID COMPONENT RUPTURE
This sprayer operates at 2500 psi (170 bar). Always be sure that all components and accessories have a
maximum working pressure of at least 3000 psi to avoid rupture which can result in serious bodily injury
including injection and property damage.
• NEVER
leave a pressurized sprayer unattended to avoid accidental operation of it which could result in serious
bodily injury.
• ALWAYS
follow the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE whenever you stop spraying and before adjusting,
removing or repairing any part of the sprayer.
• NEVER
alter or modify any part of the equipment to avoid possible component rupture which could result in
serious bodily injury and property damage.
• NEVER
use weak, damaged or non-conductive paint hoses. Do not allow kinking or crushing of hoses or allow
it to vibrate against rough, sharp or hot surfaces. Before each use, check hoses for damage and wear and ensure
all fluid connections are secure.
• REPLACE
any damaged hose. NEVER use tape or any device to mend the hose.
• NEVER
attempt to stop any leakage in the line or fittings with your hand or any part of the body. Turn off the
unit and release pressure by following PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE on page 10.
• ALWAYS
use approved high pressure fittings and replacement parts.
• ALWAYS
ensure fire extinquishing equipment is readily available and properly maintained.
Safety Warnings
GROUNDING
Ground the sprayer and other components in the system to reduce the risk of static sparking, fire or
explosion which can result in serious bodily injury and property damage.
Always ground all of these components:
•
Fluid Hose:
use only grounded hoses.
•
Spray gun or dispensing valve:
grounding is obtained through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
•
Object being sprayed:
according to your local code.
• All solvent pails used when flushing should only be metal pails which are conductive.
Once each week, check electrical resistance of hose (when using multiple hose assemblies, check
overall resistance of un-pressurized hose must not exceed 29 megohms (max) for any coupled length
or combination of hose lengths. If hose exceeds these limits, replace it immediately.
Never exceed 300 Ft. (150 m.) overall combined hose length to assure electrical continuity.
Do not use halogenated solvents in this system. The prime valve, 2 gun manifold and most
airless guns have aluminum parts and may explode. Cleaning agents, coatings, paints or
adhesives may contain halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. DON'T TAKE CHANCES!
Consult your material suppliers to be sure. Some of the most common of these solvents are:
Carbontetrachloride, Chlorobenzene, Dichloroethane, Dichloroethyl Ether, Ethylbromide,
Ethylchloride, Tethrachloethane. Alternate valves and guns are available
if you need to use these solvents.
