HOSE SAFETY
High pressure fluid in the hoses can be very dangerous. If the
hose develops a leak, split or rupture due to any kind of wear,
damage or misuse, ihe high pressure spray emitted from it can
cause a fluid injection injury or other serious bodily injury or
propeny damage.
ALL FLUID HOSES MUST HAVE SPRING GUARDS ON
kinks or bends at or close to the coupling which can result in
BOTH ENDS! The spring guards help protect the hose from
hose rupture.
TIGHTEN all fluid connections securely before each use:Kgh
pressure fluid can dislodge a loose coupling or allow high pres-
sure spray to be emined 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

movement of the hose couplings. If any of these conditions ex-

exceed the maximum working pressure of any component or

Fluid and Solvent
Compatibility
BE SURE that all fluids and solvents used are chemically com-
patible with the welted parts shown in the TECHNICAL DATA
on
page 43. Always read the fluid and solvent manufacturer's
literature before using them in this sprayer.
Hose Grounding
C on t in u it y
Proper hose grounding continuity
is
essential to maintaining a
grounded spray system. Check the electrical resistance of your
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 re-
sistance limits. Use a resistance meter in the appropriate range
for your hose to check the resistance. lfthe resistance exceeds
the recommended limits. replace it immediately. An un-
grounded or poorly grounded hose can make your system haz-
ardous. Also read FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
