Fire And Explosion Hazard, Equipment Misuse Hazard

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Improper grounding, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in fire or explosion and serious injury.

DGround the equipment and the object being sprayed. See Electrical Grounding on page .

DProvide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvent or the fluid being sprayed.

DExtinguish all the open flames or pilot lights in the spray area.

DElectrically disconnect all the equipment in the spray area.

DKeep the spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.

DDo not turn on or off any light switch in the spray area while operating or if fumes are present.

DDo not smoke in the spray area.

DDo not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.

DCheck the equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

DDo not exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated system component. This equip- ment has a 3600 psi (25 MPa, 248 bar) maximum working pressure.

DRoute the hoses away from the traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces. Do not expose Graco hoses to temperatures above 150_F (65_C) or below –40_F (–40_C).

DDo not use the hoses to pull the equipment.

DUse fluids or solvents that are compatible with the equipment wetted parts. See the Technical Data section of all the equipment manuals. Read the fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.

DFluid hoses must have spring guards on both ends to protect them from rupture caused by kinks or bends near the couplings.

DComply with all applicable local, state and national fire, electrical and other safety regulations.

DWear hearing protection when operating this equipment.

HAZARD OF USING FLUIDS CONTAINING HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS

Never use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such solvents in this equipment. Such use could result in a serious chemical reaction, with the possibility of explosion, which could cause death, serious injury and/or substantial property dam- age.

Consult your fluid suppliers to ensure that the fluids being used are compatible with aluminum and zinc parts.
