EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
•
Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
•
Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest
rated system component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
•
Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Tech-
nical Data in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warn-
ings. For complete information about your material, request MSDS from distributor
or retailer.
•
Do not leave the work area while equipment is energized or under pressure. Turn
off all equipment and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual when
equipment is not in use.
•
Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with
genuine manufacturer’s replacement parts only.
•
Do not alter or modify equipment.
•
Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.
•
Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and
hot surfaces.
•
Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
•
Keep children and animals away from work area.
•
Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the
eyes or on skin and cause serious injury.
•
Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and
before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.
•
Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•
Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immedi-
ately.
THERMAL EXPANSION HAZARD
Fluids subjected to heat in confined spaces, including hoses, can create a rapid rise in
pressure due to the thermal expansion. Over-pressurization can result in equipment
rupture and serious injury.
•
Open a valve to relieve the fluid expansion during heating.
•
Replace hoses proactively at regular intervals based on your operating conditions.
