Warnings WARNING EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD Misuse can cause death or serious injury. • Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system component.
Important Isocyanate (ISO) Information Important Isocyanate (ISO) Information Isocyanates (ISO) are catalysts used in two-component materials. Isocyanate Conditions Spraying or dispensing fluids that contain isocyanates creates potentially harmful mists, vapors, and atomized particulates. • Read and understand the fluid manufacturer’s warnings and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to know specific hazards and precautions related to isocyanates.
Important Isocyanate (ISO) Information Material Self-ignition NOTE: The amount of film formation and rate of crystallization varies depending on the blend of ISO, the humidity, and the temperature. Foam Resins with 245 fa Some materials may become self-igniting if applied Blowing Agents too thick.
DataTrak Diagnostic Codes DataTrak Diagnostic Codes DataTrak can diagnose several problems with the pump. When the monitor detects a problem, the LED will flash and a diagnostic code will appear on the display.
