HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS
Read and understand all instruction manuals before operating equipment.
FLUID INJECTION HAZARD
General Safety
This equipment generates very high fluid pressure. Spray from the gun,
leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid through your skin and into
your body and cause extremely serious bodily injury, including the need
for amputation. Also, fluid injected or splashed into the eyes or on the skin
can cause serious damage.
NEVER point spray gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
NEVER put hand or fingers over the spray tip.
NEVER try to "blow back" paint; this is NOT an air spray gun.
ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, at right, before cleaning
or removing the spray tip or servicing any system equipment.
NEVER try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body.
CHECK operation of all equipment safety devices before each use.
Medical Alert – Airless Spray Wounds
If any fluid appears to penetrate your skin, get EMERGENCY MEDICAL
CARE AT ONCE. DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT. Tell the doctor
exactly what fluid was injected.
Note to Physician: Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury . It is im-
portant to treat the injury surgically as soon as possible. Do not
delay treatment to research toxicity . T oxicity is a concern with some ex -
otic coatings injected directly into the blood stream. Consultation with a
plastic surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.
Spray Gun Safety Devices
Be sure all gun safety devices are operating properly before each use. Do
not remove or modify any part of the gun; this can cause a malfunction
and result in serious bodily injury.
Safety Latch
Whenever you stop spraying, even for a moment, always set the gun
safety latch in the closed or "safe" position, making the gun inoperative.
Failure to set the safety latch can result in accidental triggering of the gun.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
General Safety
Any misuse of the equipment or accessories, such as overpressurizing,
modifying parts, using incompatible chemicals and fluids, or using worn
or damaged parts, can cause them to rupture and result in serious bodily
injury, including fluid injection and splashing fluid in the eyes or on the
skin, or in fire, explosion or property damage.
NEVER alter or modify any part of this equipment; doing so could cause it
to malfunction.
CHECK the gun and all spray equipment regularly and repair or replace
worn or damaged parts immediately.
Read and follow the fluid and solvent manufacturer's literature regarding
the use of protective eyewear , gloves, clothing, respirator and other
equipment.
SAFETY WARNINGS
Diffuser
The gun diffuser breaks up spray and reduces the risk of fluid injection
when the tip is not installed. Check diffuser operation regularly. Follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure, below, then remove the spray tip. Aim the
gun into a grounded metal pail, holding the gun firmly to the pail. Using the
lowest possible pressure, trigger the gun. If the fluid emitted is not dif-
fused into an irregular stream, replace the diffuser immediately.
Spray Tip Safety
Use extreme caution when cleaning or changing spray tips. If the spray
tip clogs while spraying, engage the gun safety latch immediately. AL-
WAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, below, and then remove
the spray tip to clean it.
NEVER wipe off build–up around the spray tip or air cap until pressure is
fully relieved and the gun safety latch is engaged.
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including fluid injection, splash-
ing in the eyes or on skin, or injury from moving parts, always follow this
procedure whenever pump is shut off, when checking or servicing any
part of system, when installing or changing spray tips and whenever you
stop spraying.
1. Engage the spray gun safety latch.
2. Shut off the power to the pump.
3. Close the bleed–type master air valve (required in system).
4. Disengage the gun safety latch.
5. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal
waste container and trigger the gun to relieve fluid pressure.
6. Engage the gun safety latch again.
7. Open the drain valve connected to the fluid pressure gauge to help
relieve fluid pressure in the pump, hose and gun. Triggering the gun to
relieve pressure may not be suf ficient. Have a container ready to
catch the drainage.
8. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to spray again.
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely clogged or that
pressure has not been fully relieved after following the steps above,
VERY SLOWLY loosen the hose end coupling and relieve pressure
gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear the tip or hose obstruction.
System Pressure
The 10:1 Ratio Monark pump develops 950 psi (66 bar) MAXIMUM
FLUID WORKING PRESSURE at 95 psi (6.5 bar) MAXIMUM WORK-
ING AIR PRESSURE. The AA2000 Spray Gun has a 950 psi (66 bar)
MAXIMUM FLUID WORKING PRESSURE. NEVER exceed 95 psi (6.5)
air pressure to the pump or spray gun. To guarantee compliance to Cali-
fornia Wood Rule 1 136 , the supply air to the gun must be regulated down
to 10 psi (0.7 bar) MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE, using Air Regu-
lator Part No. 110–776. Be sure that all spray equipment and accessories
added to the sprayer are properly rated to withstand the maximum work-
ing pressure of the sprayer. DO NOT exceed the maximum working pres-
sure of any component or accessory used with the sprayer.
Fluid Compatibility
BE SURE all fluids and solvents used are chemically compatible with the
"Wetted Parts" shown in the TECHNICAL DATA on page 17. Always
read the fluid and solvent manufacturer's literature before using them in
this sprayer.
