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
Technical Data
in all
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. 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 manu-
facturer’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 immediately.
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.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Use of fluids that are incompatible with aluminum in pressurized equipment can cause serious chemical
reaction and equipment rupture. Failure to follow this warning can result in death, serious injury, or prop-
erty damage.
•
Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or
fluids containing such solvents.
•
Many other fluids may contain chemicals that can react with aluminum. Contact your material
supplier for compatibility.
PLASTIC PARTS CLEANING SOLVENT HAZARD
Use only compatible water-based solvents to clean plastic structural or pressure-containing parts. Many
solvents can degrade plastic parts and cause them to fail, which could cause serious injury or property
damage. See
Technical Data
in this and all other equipment instruction manuals. Read fluid and solvent
manufacturer’s warnings.
