7. Do not kink or over-bend the hose. Airless hose can
develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak
can inject material into the skin.
8. Do not expose the hose to temperatures or pressures in
excess of those specied by manufacturer.
9. Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift
the equipment.
10. Use lowest possible pressure to ush equipment.
11. Follow all appropriate local, state and national codes
governing ventilation, re prevention and operation.
12. The United States Government Safety Standards have
been adopted under the Occupational Safety and
Health Act (OSHA). These standards, particularly part
1910 of the General Standards and part 1926 of the
Construction Standards should be consulted.
13. Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks,
abrasion or bulging of cover. Check for damage or
movement of couplings. Immediately replace hose if
any of those conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose.
Replace with a conductive high-pressure hose.
14. Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
15. Always unplug cord from outlet before working on
equipment (electric models only).
Gasoline Engine Safety
Theengineexhaustfromthisunitcontains
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
• Gas engines are designed to give safe and dependable
service if operated according to instructions. Read
and understand the engine Owner’s Manual before
operating the engine. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
• To prevent re hazards and to provide adequate
ventilation, keep the engine at least 1 meter (3 feet)
away from buildings and other equipment during
operation. Do not place ammable objects close to the
engine.
• To prevent re or explosion hazard, avoid spraying or
splashing any ammable solvent near the engine.
• Children and pets must be kept away from the area of
operation due to a possibility of burns from hot engine
components or injury from any equipment the engine
may be used to operate.
• Know how to stop the engine quickly, and understand
the operation of all controls. Never permit anyone to
operate the engine without proper instructions.
• Gasoline is extremely ammable and is explosive under
certain conditions.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow ames or sparks in the refueling
area or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overll the fuel tank. After refueling, make
sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Fuel
vapor or spilled fuel may ignite. If any fuel is
spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting
the engine.
• Never run the engine in an enclosed or conned
area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas; exposure may cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death.
• The mufer becomes very hot during operation
and remains hot for a while after stopping the
engine. Be careful not to touch the mufer while
it is hot. To avoid severe burns or re hazards, let
the engine cool before transporting it or storing it
indoors.
• Never ship/transport unit with gasoline in the tank.
• Never dispose of the unit when it is lled with oil
or gas. Follow all appropriate local, state, and
national regulations when disposing of the unit.
Safety Shut-Off Switch
The safety shut-off switch is pre-set by the factory to
shut down the sprayer to prevent over-pressurization.
Do not attempt to adjust or tamper with the safety shut-
off switch. Contact an authorized service center if this
setting requires adjustment.
NOTE: The safety shut-off switch should be set
to shut down the sprayer between 3200 –
3300 PSI.
Fueling (gas engine)

explosiveundercertainconditions.
• ALWAYS turn the engine off before refueling.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not smoke or allow ames or sparks in the
refueling area or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overll the fuel tank. After refueling, make
sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled
fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled,
make sure the area is dry before starting the
engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or
breathing of vapor.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
FuelSpecications
• Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane
number of 86 or higher, or that has a research
octane number of 91 or higher. Use of a lower
octane gasoline can cause persistent “pinging”
or heavy “spark knock” (a metallic rapping noise)
which, if severe, can lead to engine damage.
NOTE: If “spark knock” or “pinging” occurs
at a steady engine speed under normal
load, change brands of gasoline. If
spark knock or pinging persists, consult
an authorized dealer of the engine
manufacturer. Failure to do so is
considered misuse, and damage caused
by misuse is not covered by the engine
manufacturer’s limited warranty.
NOTE: Occasionallyyoumayexperiencelight
spark knock while operating under heavy
loads. This is no cause for concern, it
simply means your engine is operating
efciently.
• Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and spark
plug deposits and extends the life of the exhaust
system components.
• Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/
gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water
in the fuel tank.
Gasolines Containing Alcohol
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol
(gasohol), be sure its octane rating is at least as high as
that recommended by the engine manufacturer. There
are two types of “gasohol”: one containing ethanol, and
the other containing methanol. Do not use gasohol that
contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasoline
containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does
not also contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors for
methanol. Never use gasoline containing more than
5% methanol, even if it has co-solvents and corrosion
inhibitors.
NOTE:
Fuel system damage or engine per-
formance problems resulting from the
use of fuels that contain alcohol is not
covered under the warranty. The engine
manufacturer cannot endorse the use of
fuels containing methanol since evidence
of their suitability is incomplete at this time.
Before buying gasoline from an unfamiliar
station,trytondoutifthegasoline
containsalcohol.Ifitdoes,conrmthe
type and percentage of alcohol used. If
you notice any undesirable operating
characteristics while using a gasoline that
contains alcohol, or one that you think
contains alcohol, switch to a gasoline
that you know does not contain alcohol.
