Warnings
313435H 5
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and
cause serious injury.
• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
THERMAL 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.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Use of fluids that are incompatible with aluminum in pressurized equipment can cause serious chemical
reaction and equipment rupture. Failure to follow this warning can result in death, serious injury, or prop-
erty damage.
• Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or
fluids containing such solvents.
• Many other fluids may contain chemicals that can react with aluminum. Contact your material
supplier for compatibility.
PLASTIC PARTS CLEANING SOLVENT HAZARD
Use only compatible water-based solvents to clean plastic structural or pressure-containing parts. Many
solvents can degrade plastic parts and cause them to fail, which could cause serious injury or property
damage. See Technical Data in this and all other equipment instruction manuals. Read fluid and solvent
manufacturer’s warnings.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or
swallowed.
• Read MSDS’s to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
• Route exhaust away from work area. If diaphragm ruptures, fluid may be exhausted with air.
• Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
• Always wear impervious gloves when spraying or cleaning equipment.
BURN HAZARD
Equipment surfaces and fluid that’s heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe
burns:
• Do not touch hot fluid or equipment.
• Wait until equipment/fluid has cooled completely.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating
area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic
fumes, burns, and hearing loss. This equipment includes but is not limited to:
• Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer
• Protective eyewear, gloves, and hearing protection.
