Warnings
HOT SURFACE AND FLUID HAZARD
Heated fluid can cause severe burns and can cause equipment surfaces to become very hot.
• Wear protective gloves and clothing when operating this equipment in a heated system.
• Do not touch the metal heat sink when the surface is hot.
• Allow the equipment to cool thoroughly before servicing.
Some heated systems are designed to dispense Polyurethane (PUR) heated materials. PUR
systems are supplied with ventilation hoods, and require proper ventilation and specially designed
system components.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the applicator, hose 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 point the applicator at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put hand or fingers over the front of the applicator.
• Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 11 whenever you are instructed to: relieve pressure;
stop dispensing; clean, check, or service the equipment; or install or clean a tip or 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.
• ALWAYS wear eye protection and protective clothing when installing, operating, or servicing this dis-
pensing equipment.
• Do not remove or modify any part of the applicator; this can cause a malfunction and result in serious
bodily injury.
• Use extreme caution when cleaning or changing tips. If the tip clogs while applying material,
ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 11, then remove the tip to clean it.
• NEVER wipe off build-up around the tip or air cap until pressure is fully relieved.
