WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and
explosion:
Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running or hot; shut off engine and let it cool. Fuel is flammable and can
ignite or explode if spilled on hot surface.
Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop cloths
(potential static arc).
Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes are present.
Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.
Use only grounded hoses.
Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail. Do not use pail liners unless they are antistatic
or conductive.
Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock. Do not use equipment until you iden-
tify and correct the problem.
Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection
occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.
Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any part
of the body.
Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without nozzle tip guard in place.
Use Graco nozzle tips.
Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying, fol-
low the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit and relieving the pressure before removing the noz-
zle tip to clean.
Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the unit
and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit.
Check hoses and parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged hoses or parts.
This system is capable of producing 3300 psi (22.8 MPa, 228 bar). Use Graco replacement parts or accessories
