All
persons who operate the system should be trained

-
nents as well as the proper handling of the chemical
coating. At a minimum, all operators should
thoroughly read the safety
, installation and operation
sections of this manual and the component manuals.

a minimum recommended 5
HP (3.7
kW) air
compressor for ef
ficient operation.
2.
Clear obstacles and debris that could hinder the
operator’
s movement.
