EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
General Safety
Any misuse of the pressure washer or accessories, such as overpressurizing, modifying parts, using incompatible chemicals and fluids, or using worn or damaged parts, can cause them to rupture and result in fluid injection, splashing in the eyes or on the skin, 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.
ALWAYS wear protective eyewear and appropriate clothing. If using a chemical injector, read and follow the
HOSE SAFETY
High pressure fluid in the hoses can be very dangerous. If the hose develops a leak, split or rupture due to any kind of wear, 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 HA VE STRAIN RELIEFS ON BOTH ENDS. The strain reliefs help protect the hose from kinks or bends at or close to the coupling, which can result in hose rupture.
TIGHTEN all 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.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch or amputate fingers or other body parts. KEEP CLEAR of moving parts when starting or operating the pressure washer.
TERMS
WARNING: Alerts user to avoid or correct conditions that could cause bodily injury.
NOTE: Identifies helpful procedures and information.
chemical manufacturer’s literature for recommendations on additional protective equipment, such as a respirator.
System Pressure
This sprayer can develop high operating pressures. Be sure that all spray equipment and accessories are rated
to withstand the maximum working pressure of this sprayer. DO NOT exceed the maximum working pressure of any component or accessory used in the system.
Chemical Compatibility
BE SURE that all chemicals used in the chemical injector are compatible with the wetted parts of the hose, gun, wand and tip, as given in the Technical Data (inside back
cover). Always read the chemical manufacturer ’s literature before using any chemical in this pressure washer.
NEVER use a damaged hose. Before each use, check entire hose for cuts, leaks, abrasion, bulging cover , or damage or movement of the hose couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately. DO NOT try to recouple high pressure hose or mend it with tape or any other device. A repaired hose cannot contain the high pressure fluid.
HANDLE AND ROUTE HOSES CAREFULL Y. Do not pull on hoses to move the pressure washer. Do not use chemicals which are not compatible with the inner tube and cover of the hose. DO NOT expose Graco hose to temperatures above 200_F (93_C) or below
NEVER operate the pressure washer without all guards and interlocks installed and functioning. Follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure before checking or
servicing the pressure washer to prevent discharging high pressure fluid from the gun.
CAUTION: Alerts user to avoid or correct conditions that could cause damage to or destruction of equipment.
