Pressure Relief Procedure
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually relieved to prevent the system from starting or spraying acciden- tally. 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:
•are instructed to relieve the pressure,
•stop spraying,
•check or service any of the system equipment,
•or install or clean the spray tip.
Follow Pressure Relief Procedure on page 10 when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, ser- vicing, or transporting equipment. Read Warnings, page 4.
