Safety Instructions

High Pressure

1. To avoid personal injury, do not operate the equipment without all covers, panels and
safety guards properly installed.
2. To prevent serious injury from molten adhesive under pressure when servicing the
equipment, disengage the pumps and relieve the adhesive system's hydraulic
pressure (i.e. trigger the heads, hand‐held applicators, and/or other application
devices into a waste container) before opening any hydraulic fittings or connections.
3. IMPORTANT NOTE: Even when a system's pressure gauge reads "0" psi, residual
pressure and trapped air can remain within it causing hot adhesive and pressure to
escape without warning when a filter cap or a hose or hydraulic connection is
loosened or removed. For this reason, always wear eye protection and protective
clothing.
4. Either of the two High Pressure symbols shown may be used on ITW Dynatec
equipment.
5. Keep the given operating pressure.
6. Notify the maintenance personnel immediately, if hoses or components are damaged.
Provide for exchanging the defective components immediately.
