31. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construc on ac vi es, contains chemicals known [to the State
of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc ve harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how o en you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ven lated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to fi lter out microscopic par cles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.).
32. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or
other reproduc ve harm. Wash hands a er handling. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Grounding
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION: Check with a qualifi ed electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the s prayer. Never remove the grounding prong from the p lug.
Do not use the sprayer if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fi t the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
CAUTION! All electrical equipment connec ons including the socket and cables of the machine should only be made by a professional electrician or by a
specialist manufacturer of the Service department of the manufacturer, respec vely!
Extension Cords
1. Grounded sprayers require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated sprayers can use either a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes
a serious drop in voltage, resul ng in loss of power and possible sprayer damage.
3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge
cord.
4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.
5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one sprayer, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffi x “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condi on. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualifi ed
electrician before using it.
8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

2. Place a small amount of an -seize on the threads of the top nut. Place the top nut into the top of the housing and  ghten with an adjustable wrench. This
will drive the top seal into the correct posi on.
3. Turn the pump upside down. Lubricate the seal on the piston/seal assembly similar to the top seal. Place the piston/seal assembly into the bo om of the
housing. Insert the plas c inser on tool and thread into posi on to properly seat the piston/seal. Thread fully un l  ght. Remove the inser on tool.
4. Install the new O-ring on the inlet valve assembly, lubricate with Separa ng Oil, thread into the bo om.(inlet) of the housing, and  ghten with an adjustable
wrench. This will drive the bo om seal into the correct posi on.
5. Align the piston with the yoke. Be careful not to damage the piston.
6. Apply any type of household grease to the piston and yoke area to prolong life. Apply to the holes in the yoke where the dowel is inserted.
7. Install the dowel pin to connect the yoke to the piston. The piston may have to be moved up or down to do this.
8. Install the yoke screw and washer to secure the dowel pin.
9. Turn pump right side up and apply a few drops of Separa ng Oil or light household oil between the top nut and piston. This will prolong the seal life.
