Warnings

The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this

equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard

symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these symbols appear in the body of this

manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbols

and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual

where applicable.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help

prevent fire and explosion:

•Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition

such as cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment, and plastic drop cloths (potential static

sparking).

•

Turbine motor generates sparks. Keep sprayer in a well ventilated area at least 20 feet (6 m)

from the spray area when spraying, flushing, cleaning, or servicing. Do not spray pump

assembly.

•Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extensions cords. Do not use a 3-to-2

adapter.

•Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.

•Do not spray flammable or combustible liquids in a confined area.

•Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.

•Do not smoke in the spray area or spray where sparks or flame is present.

•Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray

area.

•Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable

materials.

•Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Safety Data Sheets

(SDSs) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and

solvents manufacturer’s safety instructions.

•Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD

Fluid from the equipment, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and

cause serious injury.

•Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying/dispensing 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.

Warnings

3A5097D 5

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

•Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, and a respirator or mask when painting.

•Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from equipment at all times.

•Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep effective footing and balance at

all times.

•Stay alert and watch what you are doing.

•Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

•Do not kink or over-bend the hose.

•Do not expose the hose to temperatures or to pressures in excess of those specified by

the manufacturer.

•Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the equipment.

•Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency approvals

and create safety hazards.

•

Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are using it.

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 property damage.

•Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon

solvents or fluids containing such solvents.

•Do not use chlorine bleach.

•Many other fluids may contain chemicals that can react with aluminum. Contact your

material supplier for compatibility.

TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD

Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin,

inhaled, or swallowed.

•Read SDSs to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.

•Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable

guidelines.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Wear appropriate protective equipment when in the work area to help prevent serious injury,

including eye injury, hearing loss, inhalation of toxic fumes, and burns. This protective

equipment includes but is not limited to:

•Protective eyewear, and hearing protection.

•Respirators, protective clothing, and gloves as recommended by the fluid and solvent

Fluid and Work Piece

Preparation

•Strain fluids before spraying. This

includes colors, reducers and

hardeners.

•Use a slower drying reducer or thinner to

compensate for the faster drying time

caused by the warm air of the turbine. Do

not over reduce.

•Spray performance varies with the

viscosity of the material sprayed, HVLP

sprayer, and length of hose.

•Most material manufacturers provide

recommendations for their materials.

Follow these recommendations.

•For proper adhesion, ensure surface of

work piece is completely clean.

Fluid Set Selection

For best spray performance, select proper

fluid set for fluid being sprayed. Reference

the Fluid Set Selection Guide for the fluid

set recommended for your application. Fluid

set numbers are marked on fluid needles and

nozzles.
