HOSE SAFETY
~~~~~~~~~~,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

Hose Grounding Continuity
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
rec-
ommended limits. replace it immediately. An ungrounded or
poorly grounded hose can make your system hazardous.
