CAUTION
This is a 50:1 ratio high pressure grease pump. Because
of the high pressures developed by this pump, the
possibility of fluid injection into the flesh, or eyes, is a
potential hazard.
Never allow any part of the human body to come in front
of, or in direct contact with a material outlet. Never point
the nozzle of the gun at yourself or anyone else.
Most injections occur because of component rupture. Never
exceed the pressure rating of any component in the
system. Remember, fluid pressure generated is fifty times
the air inlet pressure.
Weak, worn or damaged hoses are also a hazard. Before
operation check hoses for signs of wear, leaks or loose
fittings. Tighten all fluid connections regularly and replace
weak or damaged hose. Your personal safety and well
being are at stake.
If accidental injection should occur, seek immediate
emergency medical attention.
Do not use air pressure greater than 1035kPa /150psi /
10.3bar
Do not hit the unit if it fails to operate.
CAUTION
Before attempting any maintenance or repairs of this
product, disconnect air supply then squeeze gun trigger
