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. See Technical Specifications in the equipment manuals.
•
Do not use this equipment without hose restraints and coupler pins installed on all air and blast hose
couplings.
•
Do not blast unstable objects. The high amount of fluid flow from the nozzle can potentially move
heavy objects.
•
Do not exceed load ratings of lift eyes.
•
Do not operate equipment on or stand on an unstable support. Keep effective footing and balance at
all times.
•
Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical
Specifications in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer's warnings. For
complete information about your material, request Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) from distributor or
retailer.
•
Never use 1, 1, 1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or
fluids containing such solvents in pressurized aluminum equipment. Such use could result in a
chemical reaction, with the possibility of explosion.
•
Do not leave the work area while equipment is energized or under pressure.
•
Turn off all equipment and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when equipment is not in use.
•
Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine
manufacturer's replacement parts only.
•
Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency approvals and create
safety hazards.
•
Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are using it.
•
Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.
•
Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.

BURN HAZARD
Equipment surfaces and fluid that is heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe
burns:
•
Do not touch hot fluid or equipment.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and
explosion:
•
Use equipment only in well ventilated areas.
•
Abrasive material exiting blast nozzle can generate sparks. When flammable liquids are used near
the blast nozzle or for flushing or cleaning, keep the blast nozzle at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from
explosive vapors.
•
Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding (ATEX systems only) instructions (ATEX
systems only).
•
Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
•
Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
