WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually relieved to prevent the system from starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid
under high pressure can be injected through the skin and cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you:
Dare instructed to relieve the pressure,
Dstop spraying,
Dcheck or service any of the system equipment,
Dor install or clean the spray tip.
Pressure Relief Procedure
1.Lock the gun trigger safety.
2.Turn the engine switch to OFF.
3.Move the pressure control switch to OFF.
4.Unlock the trigger safety. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun to relieve the pressure.
See Fig. 4, A.
5.Lock the gun trigger safety.
6.Open the pressure drain valve. Leave the valve open until you are ready to spray again.
7.Disconnect the spark plug cable.
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved after following the steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen the tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve the pressure gradually, then loosen com- pletely. Now clear the tip or hose.
