IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – To reduce the risks of
fire or explosion, electrical shock, and the injury to
persons, read and understand all instructions included
in this manual. Be familiar with the controls and the
proper usage of the equipment.
B. WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
1. Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an
open flame, pilot lights or sources of ignition such as hot
objects, cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment and
electrical appliances. Avoid creating sparks from
connecting and disconnecting power cords.
2. For units intended for use with only water-based
materials — Do not spray or clean with flammable
liquids. For use with water-based liquids only.
3. For units intended for use with only water-based or
mineral spirit-type materials with a minimum flash point
of 21ºC (69.8ºF) — Do not spray or clean with liquids
having a flash point of less than 21ºC (69.8ºF). Flash
point is the temperature at which a fluid can produce
enough vapor to ignite.
4. Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to
result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk
of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent
fumes. All parts of the spray system, including the
pump, hose assembly, spray gun and objects in and
around the spray area shall be properly grounded to
protect against static discharge and sparks. Use only
conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint
sprayer hoses specified by the manufacturer.
5. Verify that all containers and collection systems are
grounded to prevent static discharge.
6. Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded
extension cords. Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
7. Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide,
methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier
about compatibility of material with aluminum.
8. Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of
fresh air moving through the area to keep the air within
the spray area free from accumulation of flammable
vapors. Keep pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do
not spray pump assembly.
9. Do not smoke in the spray area.
10. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark
producing products in the spray area.
11. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers,
rags, and other flammable materials.
12. Know the contents of the paint and solvents being sprayed.
Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and container
labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the
paint and solvent manufacture’s safety instructions.
13. Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) from the spray
object in a well ventilated area (add more hose if
necessary). Flammable vapors are often heavier than
air. Floor area must be extremely well ventilated. The
pump contains arcing parts that emit sparks and can
ignite vapors.
14. Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying flammable material.
15. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
WARNING
C. WARNING – To reduce the risk of skin injection:
1. Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
2. Keep hands and other body parts away from the
discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any
part of the body.
3. Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without the
nozzle tip guard in place.
4. Only use a nozzle tip specified by the manufacturer.
5. Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In
the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying,
ALWAYS lock gun trigger, shut pump off, and release all
pressure before servicing, cleaning tip or guard, or
changing tip. Pressure will not be released by turning off
the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve handle must be
turned to PRIME to relieve the pressure. Refer to
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described in the
pump manual.
6. Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while
unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the unit
and relieve the pressure in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
7. High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body
and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection
occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
8. Check hoses and parts for signs of damage, a leak can
inject material into the skin. Inspect hose before each use.
Replace any damaged hoses or parts.
9. This system is capable of producing 3600 PSI / 24.8 MPa.
Only use replacement parts or accessories that are
specified by the manufacturer and that are rated a
minimum of 3600 PSI. This includes spray tips, nozzle
guards, guns, extensions, fittings, and hose.
10. Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify
the trigger lock is functioning properly.
11. Verify that all connections are secure before operating the
unit.
12. Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls. Pressure will not be
released by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY
valve handle must be turned to PRIME to relieve the
pressure. Refer to PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
described in the pump manual.
13. Always remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning
the system.
D. WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury:
1. Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, clothing
and a respirator or mask when painting. Hazardous
vapors – Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other
materials can be harmful if inhaled or come in contact
with body. Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting or
poisoning.
WARNING
HAZARD:
Injection injury – A high pressure fluid stream produced
by this equipment can pierce the skin and underlying
tissues, leading to a serious injury and possible
amputation. See a physician immediately. DO NOT
TREAT AN INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT.
