Operation
WARNING
Fluid under pressure can penetrate skin and cause
injury.
•
Keep your body and hands away from nozzles
that eject high-pressure fluid.
•
Do not aim the sprayer at any person or animal.
•
Make sure that all fluid hoses and lines are in
good condition and that all connections and
fittings are tight before applying pressure to the
system.
•
Use cardboard or paper to find leaks.
•
Safely relieve all pressure in the system before
performing any work on it.
•
Get immediate medical help if fluid is injected
into skin.
•
Hot liquids and chemicals can cause burns or
other harm.
Important:
Always empty and clean the sprayer
immediately after each use. Failure to do so may cause
the chemicals to dry or thicken in the lines, clogging the
pump and other components.
Clean the spray system after
each
spraying session. To
properly clean the spray system:
•
Use 3 separate rinses.
•
Use a minimum of 189 L (50 gallons) for each rinse.
•
Use the cleaners and neutralizers as recommended by the
chemical manufacturers.
•
Use pure, clean water (no cleaners or neutralizers) for
the
last
rinse.
