Do not kink or over-bend the hose. • Do not expose the hose to temperatures or to pressures in excess of those specified by Graco. • Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the equipment.
Grounding Grounding Pails The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of static sparking and electric shock. Electric or static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode. Solvent and oil/based fluids: follow local code. Use only Improper grounding can cause electric shock. conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded surface such Grounding provides an escape wire for the electric as concrete.
