FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD _
Static electricity
is created by the high velocity flow of fluid
through the pump and hose. If every part of the spray equip-
ment is not properly grounded, sparking may occur, and the
system may become hazardous. Sparking may also occur

If you experience any static sparking or even a slight shock
while using this equipment, STOP SPRAYING IMMEDIATE-
LY. Check the entire system for positive grounding. Do not
use the system again until the problem has been identified and
corrected.
Grounding
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump and all
other spray equipment used or located in the spray area.

HOSE SAFETY
as
explained in your
High pressure fluid in the hoses can be very dangerous. If the
hose develops a leak, split or rupture due to any kind of wear,
damage or misuse, the high pressure spray emitted from it can
cause an injection injury or other serious bodily injury or pro-
peq
damage.

guards help protect the hose from kinks or bends at or close to
the coupling which can result in hose rupture.

Therefore, NEVER owrate the pump with the air motor plates
or shield removed. KEEP CLEAR of moving parts when star-
ting or operating the pump. Before checking or servicing the
pump, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 2 to
prevent the pump from starting accidentally.
2. Air hoses:
use only grounded air hoses.

use only grounded fluid hoses.
