Warnings
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from dispensing device, 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.
• Engage trigg
er lock when not dispensing.
• Do not point dispensing device at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put your hand over the fluid outlet.
• Do not stop o
r deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop dispensing and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hose
s and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammabl
e fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help
prevent fi
re and explosion:
• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
•Donotfil
l fuel tank while engine is running or hot; shut off engine and let it cool. Fuel is
flammabl
e 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 p
lug or unplug power cords, or turn light switches on or off when flammable fumes
are pre
sent.
• Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.
• Use only grounded hoses.
•Holdg
un firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.
• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use
equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
THER
MAL 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.
