Warnings
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the gun, leaks, or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely
serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin can also
cause serious injury.
•
Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate surgi-
cal treatment.
•
Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with you hand, body, glove, or rag.
•
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in your separate equipment manuals whenever you are
instructed to: relieve pressure; stop dispensing; clean, check, or service the equipment; or install or
clean a nozzle.
•
Tighten all the fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•
Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn, damaged, or loose parts immediately.
Permanently coupled hoses cannot be repaired; replace the entire hose.
