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

TIGHTE all fluid connections securely before each use. High
pressure fluid can dislodge a loose coupling or allow high presĆ
sure spray to be emitted from the coupling.
EVER use a damaged hose. Before each use, check the entire
hoseforcuts,leaks,abrasion,bulgingcover,ordamage ormoveĆ

place the hose immediately. DO OT try to recouple high presĆ

Proper hose grounding continuity is essential to maintaining a
grounded spray system. Check the electrical resistance of your
fluid hoses at least once a week. If your hose does not have a tag
on it which specifies the maximum electrical resistance, contact
the hose supplier or manufacturer for the maximum resistance
limits. Use a resistance meter in the appropriate range for your
hose to check the resistance. If the resistance exceeds the recĆ
ommended limits, replace it immediately. An ungrounded or
poorly grounded hose can make your system hazardous. Also

fumes from solvents and the fluid being sprayed, dust particles
and other flammable substances, whether you are spraying inĆ
doors or outdoors, and can cause a fire or explosion and serious
bodily injury and property damage. Always plug the sprayer into
an outlet located at least 6 m (20 feet) away from the sprayer and
the spray area. Do not plug in or unplug any power supply cords
in the spray area when there is any chance of igniting fumes still
in the air.
If you experience any static sparking or even a slight shock while
using this equipment, . Check
the entire system for proper grounding. Do not use the system
again until the problem has been identified and corrected.

To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the sprayer and all
other spray equipment used or located in the spray area. CHECK
your local electrical code for detailed grounding instructions for
your area and type of equipment. BE SURE to ground all of this
spray equipment:
1. Sprayer: plug the power supply cord, or extension cord -
each equipped with an undamaged, grounded plug, into a
properlygroundedoutlet. Donot useanadapter.All extension
cords must have three wires and be rated for 15 Amps.
2. Fluid hoses: use only grounded hoses with a maximumf
150 m (500 feet) combined hose length to ensure grounding
continuity. See ),! +).( %(# )(-%(.%-0 above.
3. Spraygun:obtaingroundingthroughconnectionto aproperly
grounded fluid hose and sprayer.
4. Object being sprayed: according to local code.
5. Fluid supply container: according to local code.
6. All solvent pails used when flushing, according to local code.
Use only metal pails, which are conductive. Do not place the
pail on a non-conductive surface, such as paper or cardĆ
board, which interrupts the grounding continuity.
7. To aintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving
pressure, always hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side
of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun.

Reduce the risk of fluid injection injury, static sparking, or splashĆ
ing by following the flushing procedure given on page 9 of this
manual.Followthe onpage
2, and remove the spray tip before flushing. Hold a metal part of
the gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail and use the
lowest possible fluid pressure during flushing.
