Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever
you see this symbol.
1. Engage trigger lock.
2. Turn engine ON/OFF switch to OFF.
3. Move pump switch to OFF and turn pressure control
knob fully counterclockwise.
4. Disengage trigger lock. Hold metal part of gun firmly
to side of grounded metal pail, and trigger gun to
relieve pressure.
5. Engage gun trigger lock.
6. Turn prime valve down to DRAIN position. Leave
prime valve down until ready to spray again.
7. If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged or
that pressure has not been fully relieved after follow-
ing the steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen tip
guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve
pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Clear
hose or tip obstruction.
Grounding
To ground sprayer: Attach sprayer grounding clamp to
earth ground.
Air and fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive
hoses with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check elec-
trical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to ground
exceeds 29 megohms, replace hose immediately.
Spray gun: Ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow local code.
Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive sur-
face, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: Hold metal part of the spray gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger
the gun.
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is
manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury
from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection,
splashing fluid and moving parts, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying
and before cleaning, checking, or servicing the
equipment.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes
to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape
wire for the electric current.
