Connect only to three prong outlet. Should plug or cord become
cracked, frayed, damaged in any way, it should be repaired/replaced
immediately by a qualified electrician.

for safety, if this must be replaced, use only the same air switch, not an
electrically operated one.
keep pump and motor clean and free of all contaminates. Never allow
any liquids to come into contact with motor or electrical systems as an
electric shock hazard could result.

never be tampered with.
•
The Tempest 10, 10S and 20S Units are preset to operate up to
600 PSI.
operating with pressure greater than 600 pSi can create a
hazardouS situation.
• Tempest is equipped with a pressure relief valve in the spray cabinet
(figure 6). when pressure is relieved, the valve automatically resets.
Should pressure inside spray delivery system reach an unsafe level,
relief valve will vent excess pressure back into cabinet. this valve
must be kept clean and free of all contaminants to insure its proper
functioning. activation of the pressure relief valve is not expected
during normal operation.
do Not start spray pump unless you have a firm grip on the nozzle. if
nozzle is dropped, stop pump immediately. an unrestrained hose and
nozzle could cause injury, damage to cabinet and parts in it, as well as
break the window, causing possible injury. restrain parts which might
be violently moved by high pressure spray.
Never aim spray directly at gloves or anything other than parts to be
cleaned.
Tempest is equipped with a safety interlock switch that prevents the
pump from operating unless the cabinet door is closed and secured
with door hasps.
