WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the spray gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can inject fluid into your
body and cause extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes
or on the skin can also cause serious injury.
D Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate
medical attention.
D Do not point the gun/valve at anyone or at any part of the body.
D Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip/nozzle.
D Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
D Do not blow back fluid; this is not an air spray system.
D Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the gun when spraying.
D Check the gun diffuser operation weekly. See the gun manual.
D Be sure the gun/valve trigger safety operates before you spray/dispense.
D Lock the gun/valve trigger safety when you stop spraying/dispensing.
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7 if the spray tip/nozzle clogs and before you
clean, check, or service the equipment.
D Tighten all fluid connections before you operate the equipment.
D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Do not
repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.
D Fluid hoses must have spring guards on both ends to help protect them from rupture caused by
kinks or bends near the couplings.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in a fire or explosion and serious injury.
D Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed or dispensed to. See Grounding on page 5.
D If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop
spraying/dispensing immediately. Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the
problem.
D Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid
being sprayed/dispensed to.
D Keep the spray/dispense area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
D Electrically disconnect all equipment in the spray/dispense area.
D Extinguish all open flames or pilot lights in the spray/dispense area.
D Do not smoke in the spray/dispense area.
D Do not turn on or off any light switch in the spray/dispense area while operating or if fumes are
present.
D Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray/dispense area.
