Fire And Explosion Hazard

WARNING

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.

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. D Electrically disconnect all the equipment in the spray area.

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

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

D Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.

DIf there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop spraying immediately. Identify and correct the problem.

DDo not alter or modify this equipment. Use only genuine Graco parts and accessories. D Check 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 equipment 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. D Wear 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 damage.

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