EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
General Safety
Any misuse of the spray equipment or accessories, such as
ovsrpressurizing. modifying parts, using incompatible
chemicals and fluids, or using worn or damaged parts, can
cause them to rupture and result in injection, splashing in the
eyes or on the skin, or other serious bodily injury, fire, explo-
sion or property damage.

to malfunction.
NEVER alter or modify any part of this equipment; doing so
CHECK all spray equipment regularly and repair or replace
worn or damaged parts immediately.
Always wear protective eyewear, gloves and clothing as
recornmended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer.

HOSE SAFETY

High pressure fluid in the hoses can be very dangerous. If the
damage or misuse, the high pressure spray emitted from
it
can
cause a fluid injection injury or other serious.bodily injury or
property damage.
ALL FLUID HOSES MUST HAVE SPRING GUARDS ON
BOTH ENDS1 The spring guards help protect the hose from
kinks or bends at or close to the coupling which can result in
hose rupture.
TIGHTEN a 1 1 fluid connections securely before each use. High
pressure fluid can dislodge a loose coupling or allow high
pressure spray to be emitted from the coupling.
NEVER use a damaged hose. Before each use, check the en-
tire hose for cuts, leaks, abrasion, bulging cover, or damage or
exist, replace the hose immediately. DO NOT try to recouple
movement of the hose couplings. If any of thew conditions

with tape or any other device. A
repaired hose cannot contain the high pressure fluid.
HANDLE AND ROUTE HOSES CAREFULLY.
Do not pull on
hoses to move equipment. Do not use fluids or solvents which
are not compatible with the inner tube and cover of the hose.
DO NOT expose Graco hose to temperatures above 1 W F

Continuity
Proper hose grounding continuity is essential to maintaining a
grounded spray system. Check the electrical resistance of your
fluid hoses at least once a week. If your hose does not have a
tag on
it
which specifies the maximum electrical resistance,
resistance limits. Use a resistance meter in the appropriate

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Static electricity is created by the high velocity flow of fluid
through the pump and hose. If every part of the spray equip-
ment is not properly grounded, sparking may occur, and the

dust particles and other flammable substances, whether you
can ignite fumes from solvents and the fluid being sprayed,
are spraying indoors or outdoors, and can cause a fire or ex-
plosion and serious bodily injury and property damage.
Always plug the sprayer into an outlet at least 20 feet 1 6 m l
away from the sprayer and the spray area.

If you experience any static sparking or even
a slight shock
while using this equipment, STOP SPRAYING IMMEDI-
ATELY. Check the entire system for proper grounding. Do not
use the system again until the problem has been identified and
corrected.
To reduce the risk of static sparking. ground the sprayer and

a 1 1 other spray equipment used or located in the spray area.
CHECK your local electrical code for detailed grounding in-
structions for your area and type of equipment. BE SURE to
ground all of this spray equipment:
1.
Sprayer: plug the power supply cord, or extension cord,
each equipped with an undamaged three-prong plug. into
a properly grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter. All ex-
tension cords must have three wires and be rated for 15
amps.
2 . Fluid hoses:
use
only grounded hoses with a maximum of
500 feet

mi combined hose length to ensure ground-
ing continuity. Refer to Hose Grounding Continuity.
3.
Spray gun: obtain grounding through connection to
a
properly grounded fluid hose and sprayer.
4. Object being sprayed: according to local code.
5. Fluid supply container: according to local code,
6. All solvent pails used when flushing, according to local
code. Use only metalpails, which are conductive. Do not
place the pail on a non-conductive surface, such as paper
or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.
7 . To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or reliev-
ingpressure, always hold a metal
part
of the gun firmly to
the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun.
Flushing Safety
Reduce the risk of injection injury, static sparking, or splashing
by following the specific flushing procedure given
on
page
12
of
this manual. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on
page 4, and remove the spray
t i p
before flushing. Hold a metal
part of the gun firmly to the side of a metal pail and use the
lowest possible fluid pressure during flushing.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch or amputate your fingers or other
operating the sprayer. Unplug the sprayer, and follow the
body parts. KEEP CLEAR of moving parts when starting or
