Important Electrical Information

SAFETY INFORMATION • READ ALL SAFETY

INFORMATION BEFORE OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT

HAZARD: GENERAL

Can cause severe injury or property damage.

PREVENTION:

•Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating equipment.

•Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.

•The United States Government Safety Standards have been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). These standards, particularly part 1910 of the General Standards and part 1926 of the Construction Standards should be consulted.

•Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the minimum specifications and safety requirements of the pump manufacturer.

•Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with another grounded high-pressure hose.

•All hoses, swivels, guns, and accessories must be pressure rated at or above 2800PSI/193 BAR.

•Do not spray outdoors on windy days.

•Wear clothing to keep paint off skin and hair.

CAUTION

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A 14 or 12 gauge cord is recommended. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A after the cord type designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would be appropriate for outdoor use.

Do not use more than 100 feet of hose. If you need to paint further than 100 feet from your power source, use more extension cord, not more paint hose.

CAUTION

THE 1420 AND 1620 SERIES UNITS ARE PROVIDED WITH A NON-RESETABLE THERMAL OVERLOAD. THE 1720, 1920 AND 2120 SERIES UNITS ARE PROVIDED WITH A REPLACEABLE FUSE.

•Always disconnect the motor from the power supply before working on the equipment.

The cause of the overload should be corrected before restarting. Take to Service Center.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
