ALL FLUID HOSES MUST HAVE SPRING GUARDS ON
BOTH ENDS1 The spring guards help protect the hose from
kinks or bends et or close to the coupling which can result in
hose rupture.
TIGHTEN all fluid connections securely before each use. High
pressure fluid can dislodge a loose coupling or allow high
pressure spray to be emitted from the coupling.
NEVER use a damaged hose. Before each use, check the en-
tire hose for cuts, leaks, abrasion, bulging cover, or damage or
movemant'of the hose couplings. If any of these conditions
exist, replace the hose immediately. DO NOT try to recouple

Grounding Continuity

Proper hose grounding continuity is essential to maintaining a
fluid hoses at least once a week. If your hose does not have a
tag on it which specifies the maximum electrical resistance,
contact the hose supplier or manufacturer for the maximum
resistance limits. Use a resistance meter in the appropriate
range for your hose to check the resistance. If the resistance
exceeds the recommended limits, replace it immediately. An
ungrounded or poorly grounded hose can make your system
hazardous. Also read FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.
FIRE Of? EXPLOSION HAZARD
Static electricity is created by the high velocity flow of fluid
through the pump and hose. If every part of the spray equip-
ment is not properly grounded, sparking may occur, and the
when plugging in or unplugging a power supply cord. Sparks
system may become hazardous. Sparking may also occur
dust particles and other flammable substances, whether you
can ignite fumes from solvents and the fluid being sprayed,
are spraying indoors or outdoors, and can cause a fire or ex-
plosion and serious bodily injury and property damage.
Always plug the sprayer into an outlet at least
P
feet (6 m l
away from the sprayer and the spray area. Do not plug in or
unplug any power supply cords in the spray area when there is
any chance of igniting fumes still in the air.
while using this equipment, STOP SPRAYING IMMEDI-
If you experience any static sparking or even a slight shock
ATELY. Check the entire system for proper grounding. Do not
use the system again until ihe Droblem has been ideniified and
corrected.
Grounding
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the sprayer and
all other spray equipment used or located in the spray area.
structions for your area and type of equipment. BE SURE to
CHECK your local electrical code
for detailed grounding in-
ground all of this spray equipment:
1. Spreyer: plug the power supply cord, or extension cord,
each equipped with an undamaged three-prong plug, into
a properly grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter. All ex-
tension cords must have three wires and be rated for 15
amps.
2. Fluid hoses: use only grounded hoses with a maximum of

m) combined hose length to ensureground-
ing continuity. Refer to Hose Groundlng Continulty.
3 . Sprey g u n : obtain grounding through connection to a
properly grounded fluid hose and sprayer.
4.
Obiect being spreyed: according to local code.
5.
Fluid supply container: according to local code.
6. A l l solvent pails used when flushing, according to local
code. Use only metalpails, which are conductive. Do not
place the pail on a non-conductive surface, such as paper
or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.
7. To meintaingrounding continuity when flushing orreliev-
ingpressure. always hold a metal part of the gun firmly to
the side of a grounded metel pail, then trigger tha gun.
Flushing
Safety
Reduce the risk of injection injury, static sparking, or splashing
by following
the
specific flushing procedure given on page 12
of this manual. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on
page 4. and remove the sprey
tip
before flushing. Hold a metal
part of the gun firmly to the side of a metel pail and use the
lowest possible fluid pressure during flushing.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch or amputate your fingers or other
body parts. KEEP CLEAR of moving parts when starting or
operating the sprayer. Unplug the sprayer, and follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 2, before checking or
servicing any part of the sprayer to prevent it from starting
accidentallv.
