Safety Precautions
This manual contains information which must be read and
understood before using the equipment. When you come to an
area which has one of the following symbols, pay particular
attention and make certain to heed the safeguard.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard which may cause
serious injury or loss of life. Important safety information
will follow.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard to you or to the
equipment. Important information that tells how to prevent
damage to the equipment or how to avoid causes of minor
injuries will follow.
This unit is provided with a thermally protected automatic
reset. If an overload occurs the thermally protected
automatic reset disconnects the motor from the power
supply.
• The motor will restart without warning when the protector
automatically resets.
• Always disconnect the motor from the power supply
before working on the equipment.
• When the thermally protected automatic reset disconnects
the motor from the power supply
, relieve pressure by
turning the priming valve to PRIME.
• Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
CAUTION
NOTE: Notes give important information which
should be given special attention.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – To reduce the risks of
fire or explosion, electrical shock, and the injury to
persons, read and understand all instructions
included in this manual. Be familiar with the controls
and the proper usage of the equipment.
B
. WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
1. Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near
an open flame, pilot lights or sources of ignition such as
hot objects, cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment and
electrical appliances. Avoid creating sparks from
connecting and disconnecting power cords.
2. For units intended for use with only water-based
materials — Do not spray or clean with flammable
liquids. For use with water-based liquids only.
3. For units intended for use with only water-based or
mineral spirit-type materials with a minimum flash point
of 21ºC (69.8ºF) — Do not spray or clean with liquids
having a flash point of less than 21ºC (69.8ºF). Flash
point is the temperature at which a fluid can produce
enough vapor to ignite.
4. Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able
to result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a
risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or
solvent fumes. All parts of the spray system, including
the pump, hose assembly, spray gun and objects in and
around the spray area shall be properly grounded to
protect against static discharge and sparks. Use only
conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint
sprayer hoses specified by the manufacturer.
5. Verify that all containers and collection systems are
grounded to prevent static discharge.
6. Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded
extension cords. Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
7. Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide,
methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating
supplier about compatibility of material with aluminum.
8. Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of
fresh air moving through the area to keep the air within
the spray area free from accumulation of flammable
vapors. Keep pump assembly in well ventilated area.
Do not spray pump assembly
.
9. Do not smoke in the spray area.
10. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark
producing products in the spray area.
11. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent
containers, rags, and other flammable materials.
12. Know the contents of the paint and solvents being
sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
and container labels provided with the paints and
solvents. Follow the paint and solvent manufacture’s
safety instructions.
13. Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) from the
spray object in a well ventilated area (add more hose if
necessary). Flammable vapors are often heavier than
air. Floor area must be extremely well ventilated. The
pump contains arcing parts that emit sparks and can
ignite vapors.
14. Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths
when spraying flammable material.
15. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and
working.
WARNING
NOTE: The cause of the overload should be corrected
before restarting. See TROUBLESHOOTING.
