SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the spray gun/dispense valve, 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.
D Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate
surgical treatment.
D Do not point the gun/valve at anyone or at any part of the body.
D Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip/nozzle.
D Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
D Do not "blow back" fluid; this is not an air spray system.
D Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the gun when spraying.
D Check the gun diffuser operation weekly. Refer to the gun manual.
D Be sure the gun/valve trigger safety operates before spraying.
D Lock the gun/valve trigger safety when you stop spraying.
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 9 if the spray tip/nozzle clogs and before clean-
ing, checking or servicing the equipment.
D Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Do not
repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.
D Use only Graco approved hoses. Do not remove the spring guard that is used to help protect the
hose from rupture caused by kinks or bends near the couplings.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts, such as the priming piston and wiper plate, can pinch or amputate your fingers.
D Keep clear of all moving parts when starting or operating the pump.
D Keep hands and fingers away from the priming piston during operation and whenever the pump is
charged with air.
D Keep your hands away from the wiper plate and the lip of the pail while the ram is operating.
D Before servicing the equipment, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 9 to prevent the
equipment from starting unexpectedly.
