SETUP
WARNING
To
reduce the risk of serious bodily injury from static
sparking, fluid injection, or over pressurization and
rupture
of
the hose or gun, all hoses must be electri
-
cally conductive, the gun must have a tip guard, and
each part must be rated for at least 2750 psi (195
bar)
Maximum Working Pressure.
To
avoid damaging the pressure control, which
may
result in poor equipment performance and compo-
nent
damage, follow these precautions:
1. Always use grounded, flexible spray hose at
least
50 ft. (15 m) long.
2.
Never use a wire braid hose as it is too rigid
to
act as a pulsation dampener
.
3. Never
install any
shutof
f device between the fil
-
ter
and the main hose. See Fig 1
1–1.
4. Always
use the main filter outlet. Never plug
this
outlet.
