Warnings

The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclama- tion point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbol refers to procedure-specific risk. Refer back to these warnings.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

The hoses must be grounded. Improper grounding, set-up or usage of the hoses can cause electric shock.

•Turn off and disconnect power before disconnecting before installing or servicing hoses.

•Connect to grounded power source.

•All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and comply with all local codes and regulations.

•Never cut or puncture a hose cover.

•Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

High-pressure fluid from hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.

•Inspect hose before each use for cuts, bulges, kinks or any other damage.

•Replace hoses proactively at regular intervals based on your operating conditions.

•Replace damaged hose immediately.

•Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

•Keep clear of leaks.

•Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.

•Never exceed hose Maximum Pressure or Temperature ratings.

•Only use chemicals that are compatible with wetted parts. See Technical Data in this manual. Read MSDSs and fluid and solvent manufacturer’s recommendations.

•Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.

THERMAL EXPANSION HAZARD

Fluids subjected to heat in confined spaces, including hoses, can create a rapid rise in pressure due to the thermal expansion. Over-pressurization can result in equipment rupture and serious injury.

•Open a valve to relieve the fluid expansion during heating.

•Replace hoses proactively at regular intervals based on your operating conditions.

BURN HAZARD

Equipment surfaces and fluid that’s heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe burns:

• Do not touch hot fluid or equipment.
