General Safety
This equipment
generates
very high fluid pressure.
Spray from
a spray gun,
leaks or ruptured
components
can inject fluid
through
your skin and into your body and cause extremely
serious bodily injury, including
the need for amputation.
Also,
fluid
injected
or splashed
into
the eyes can cause serious
damage.
NEVER point the spray gun or dispensing
valve at anyone or at
any part of the body.
NEVER put hand or fingers
over the
spray tip.
On a spray gun, ALWAYS
have the tip guard in place when
spraying.
ALWAYS
follow
the Pressure
Relief
Procedure,
below,
before
cleaning
or removing
a spray
tip or servicing
any
system equipment.
NEVER try to stop or deflect
leaks with your hand or body.
Be sure
equipment
safety
devices
are operating
properly
before each use.
Medical
Treatment
If any fluid appears
to
enetrate
your skin
get
EMERGENCY
klEDlCAL
CARi
AT ONCE.
DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT.
Tell the doctor
exactly what fluid was injected.

Spray Gun and Dispensing
Valve Safety Devices
Be sure all spray gun or dispensing
valve safety
devices
are
operating
properly
before each use. Do not remove or modify
any
part
of the gun or valve; this can cause
a
malfunction
and
result in serious bodily injury.
Safety
Latch
If your spray gun or dispensing
valve has a safety latch, always
set it in the closed
or "safe"
position
whenever
you stop
spraying,
even for a moment,
making sure the gun or valve is
inoperative.
Failure to set the safety
latch can result in ac-
cidental
triggering
of the gun or valve.
Diffuser
(Spray
Guns
Only)
The spray gun diffuser
breaks up spray and reduces the risk of
injection
when the tip is not installed.
Check diffuser
operation
regularly.
Follow
the
Pressure
Relief
Procedure,
below,
then
remove
the spray tip. Aim the gun into a metal
pail,
holding
the gun firmly
to the pail. Using the lowest
possible
pressure,
trigger the gun. If the fluid emitted
is not diffused
in-
to an irregular
stream,
replace the diffuser
immediately.
Tip Guard
(Spray
Guns
Only)
ALWAYS
have the tip guard in place on the gun while spray-
ing. The tip guard alerts you to the injection
hazard and helps
prevent
accidentally
placing
your fingers
or any part of your
body close to the spray tip.
Trigger
Guard
If your spray gun or dispensing
valve has a trigger
guard,
NEVER operate the gun or valve with the trigger guard remov-
ed. The trigger
guard reduces the risk of accidentally
trigger-
ing the gun or the valve if it is dropped
or bumped.
Spray Tip Safety
Use extreme
caution
when cleaning
or changing
spray tips. If
the spray tip clogs while spraying,
engage the gun safety latch
immediately.
ALWAYS
follow
the
Pressure
Relief
Pro-
cedure,
below,
and then remove the spray tip to clean it.
NEVER wipe off build-up
around the spray tip until pressure is
fully relieved and the gun safety latch is engaged.
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce
the risk of serious
bodily
injury,
including
injection
or injury from
moving
parts,
always
follow
this procedure
whenever
you shut off the pump, when checking
or servicing
any part of the spray or dispensing
system, when installing,
clean-
ing or changing
spray tips, and whenever
you stop spraying.
(1) Engage the gun safety latch if your spray gun or dispensing
valve has one. (2) Shut off the air to the pump. (3) Close the bleed-type
master air valve (required
in your system).
14) Disengage
the gun or valve safety latch. (5) Hold a metal part of the spray gun or dispensing
valve firmly to the side of a grounded
metal
pail, and trigger the gun or valve to relieve pressure.
(6) Engage the gun or valve safety latch. (7) Open the pump bleeder valve,
having a container
ready to catch the drainage.
Also open the fluid drain valve, if your system has one. (81 Leave the bleeder
valve and fluid drain valve open until you are ready to spray or dispense
again.
If you suspect
that the spray tip< nozzle or hose is completely
clogged,
or that pressure has not been fully relieved after following
the steps above,
VERY SLOWLY
loosen the tip guard,
nozzle, or hose end coupling
and relieve pressure gradually,
then loosen
completely.
Now clear the tip, nozzle or hose.
Gerieral Safety
Any misuse of the spray equipment
or accessories,
such as
overpressurizing,
modifying
parts,
using
incompatible
chemicals
and materials,
or using worn or damaged
parts, can
cause them to rupture
and result in injection
or other serious
bodily injury, fire, explosion
or property
damage.
NEVER alter or modify
any part of this equipment;
doing so
could cause it to malfunction.
CHECK
all spray equipment
regularly
and repair or replace
worn or damaged
parts immediately.

NEVER exceed 90 psi (6 bar) air supply
to the pump.
Be sure that all spray equipment
and accessories
are rated to withstand
the maximum
working
pressure of this
pump.
DO NOT exceed the maximum
working
pressure of any
component
or accessory
used in the system.
