WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in a fire, explosion, or electric shock.
Electrostatic equipment must be used only by trained, qualified personnel who understand the
requirements stated in this instruction manual.
Ground the equipment, personnel in or close to the spray area, the object being sprayed, and all
other electrically conductive objects in the spray area. See Ground the System on page 13.
Check the spray gun resistance daily. See Test Gun Resistance, page 26.
If there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop spraying immediately. Identify and
correct the problem.
Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable or toxic vapors. Interlock the gun
turbine air supply to prevent operation of the power supply unless the ventilating fans are on. See
Ventilate the Spray Booth on page 9.
When flushing or purging electrostatic equipment, use solvents with a flash point equal to or
greater than that of the fluid being sprayed.
To clean the exterior of the electrostatic equipment, use solvents with a flash point higher than
100
F (38
C).
Do not flush the system with the gun electrostatics turned on.
Do not turn on the gun electrostatics until all solvent is removed from the system.
Use only non-sparking tools to clean residue from the booth and hangers.
Extinguish all open flames or pilot lights in the spray area.
Keep the spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
Do not store any flammable fluids in the spray area.
Do not turn on or off any light switch in the spray area while operating or if fumes are present.
Do not smoke in the spray area.
Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can splash fluid in the eyes or on the skin
and cause a serious injury.
Do not point the spray gun at anyone or any part of the body.
Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 16 whenever you: are instructed to relieve the
pressure; stop spraying; clean, check, or servicing the equipment; and install or clean the fluid
nozzles.
Tighten all the fluid connections before operating the equipment.
Check the hoses, tubes and couplings daily. Replace worn, damaged, or loose parts immediately.
Permanently coupled hoses cannot be repaired; replace the entire hose.
