Warnings

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:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.

• Ground equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.

• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment

until you identify and correct the problem.

Equipment Misuse Hazard

Equipment misuse can cause death or serious injury.

• Do not exceed maximum working pressure or temperature rating of lowest rated system compo-

nent. 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.

• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

• Do not alter or modify this equipment.

• For professional use only.

• Route hoses away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts and hot surfaces.

• Do not use hoses to pull equipment.‘

•Keep children and animals away from work area.

• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

Electric Shock Hazard

Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.

WARNINGS

Pressurized Equipment Hazard

Compressed air can inject in skin. Air tubing rupture can cause injury if disconnected while under

pressure. To reduce risk of injury:

• Never exceed maximum working pressure of any attachment.

• Do not direct airstream at body.

• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 8 whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure, stop

spraying, service equipment, install or clean spray nozzle or disconnect or connect hose.

Cleaning Solvent Hazard with Plastic Parts

Use only compatible water-based solvents to clean plastic structural or pressure-containing parts. Many

solvents can degrade plastic parts to the point where they could fail. Such failure could cause serious

injury or property damage. See Technical Data on page 35 of this instruction manual and in all other

equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.

Moving Parts Hazard

Moving parts can pinch or amputate fingers and other body parts.

• Keep clear of moving parts.

• Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.

• Pressurized equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing equipment,

follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual. Disconnect power or air supply.

Personal Protective Equipment

Wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing or when in the operating area of this

equipment to help protect yourself from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic fumes,

burns and hearing loss. This equipment includes, but is not limited to:

• protective eye wear

• clothing and respirator as recommended by fluid and solvent manufacturer

• hearing protection

•gloves

CAUTION

Water or material remaining in unit when temperatures are below freezing can damage pump and/or delay startup.

To insure water and material are completely drained out of unit:

(K) all the way down to

reduce pressure.

3 Open gun air valve (aa).

4 Trigger gun, spraying

material back into

Grounding and Electric Requirements

The sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces the

risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for

the electrical current.

• The sprayer cord includes a

grounding wire with an appro-

priate grounding prong.

• The plug must be plugged into

an outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes

and ordinances.

• Do not modify plug! If it will not

fit in outlet, have grounded out-

let installed by a qualified elec-

trician.

• Sprayer model electric require-

ments are provided on page 3.

Extension Cords

• Only use an extension cord with

an undamaged 3-prong plug.

• For up to 100 ft (30.48 m) cord,

use 3-wire, 12 AWG (2.5 mm2)

minimum.

Tips for Using Generators

• Before running sprayer, make sure it is at room tem-

perature. This will reduce startup current.

• Run generator at full throttle.

Hose Lengths

• The system comes with a twin line hose set consist-

ing of a 1 in. ID x 25 ft (25 mm x 7.6 m) material hose

and a 3/8 in. ID air hose. Additional hose sections can

be added. Total final length of hose used should not

exceed 100 feet in length.

CAUTION

Attaching auxiliary air to sprayer without using the

Auxiliary Air Hookup Kit will damage sprayer. CAUTION

Sprayer air hose fitting can get hot! Allow sprayer to

cool down 5 minutes before removing air hose.
