injury.

To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical

shock and the injury to persons, read and understand

all instructions included in this manual. Be familiar

with the controls and proper usage of the equipment.

WARNING: INJECTION INJURY

Ahigh pressure paint stream produced by this

equipment can pierce the skin and underlying tissues,

leading to serious injury and possible amputation. See

a physician immediately.

DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT!

Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician immediately.

The maximum operating range of the sprayer is 3300 PSI / 22.8

MPa fluid pressure.

PREVENTION:

• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.

• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.

• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream. DO

NOT allow body to touch a leak in the fluid hose.

• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not

provide protection against an injection injury.

• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump off, and release

all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip or guard,

changing tip, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be

released by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve

or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate

positions to relieve system pressure. Refer to the

PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described in this manual.

• ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip

guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.

• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the

system.

• Paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse.

A leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect the hose

before each use. Do not use hose to lift or pull equipment.

• NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and

trigger guard in place.

•All accessories must be rated at or above 3300 PSI / 22.8

MPa. This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.

• Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while

unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the unit and

relieve the pressure in accordance with the PRESSURE

RELIEF PROCEDURE described in this manual.

•Verify that all connections are secure before operating the

unit. Unsecured parts may eject at great force or leak a high

pressure fluid stream causing severe injury.

• Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the

trigger lock is functioning properly.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Injection into the skin is a traumatic

injury. It is important to treat the injury as soon as

possible. DO NOT delay treatment to research toxicity.

Toxicity is a concern with some coatings injected directly

into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon

or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VAPORS

Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials can be

harmful if inhaled or come in contact with the body.

Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.

PREVENTION:

• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be inhaled.

Read all instructions supplied with the mask to be

sure it will provide the necessary protection.

• Wear protective eyewear.

• Wear protective clothing as required by coating manufacturer.

WARNING: EXPLOSION OR FIRE

Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite. Property

damage and/or severe injury can occur.

PREVENTION:

•Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to keep the

air within the spray area free from accumulation of flammable

vapors. Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.

• Do not spray in a confined area.

• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electric sparks,

open flames, pilot lights, electrical appliances, and hot

objects. Connecting or disconnecting power cords or working

light switches can make sparks. Paint or solvent flowing

through the equipment is able to result in static electricity.

• Do not smoke in spray area.

• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working order.

• Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) from the spray

object in a well ventilated area (add more hose if necessary).

Flammable vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area must

be extremely well ventilated. The pump contains arcing parts

that emit sparks and can ignite vapors.

• The equipment and objects in and around the spray area

must be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.

• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags

and other flammable materials.

• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hose.

Gun must be grounded through hose connections.

• For electric units — power cord must be connected to a

grounded circuit.

•Always flush unit into a separate metal container, at low pump

pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly against side

of container to ground container and prevent static sparks.

• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's warnings and

instructions. Know the contents of the paints and solvents

being sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

and container labels provided with the paints and solvents.

Follow the paint and solvent manufacturer’s safety instructions.

• Use extreme caution with liquids having a flash point of less

than 21ºC (70ºF). Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid

can produce enough vapors to ignite.

• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to

enclose a spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when

spraying flammable materials.

• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.

• Do not spray onto pump assembly.

WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO

INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS

Will cause property damage or severe injury.

PREVENTION:

•Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.

• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as

bleach, mildewcide, methylene chloride and 1,1,1 -

trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum.

• Contact your coating supplier about the compatibility of

material with aluminum.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION • Read all safety information

before operating the equipment. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: GENERAL

Grounding Instructions

Electric models must be grounded. In the event of an electrical

short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by

providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is

equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate

grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is

properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes

and ordinances.

DANGER — Improper installation of the grounding plug can result

in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or

plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding wire to

either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green

outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire

and must be connected to the grounding pin.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding

instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt

as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the

plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT - Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-

blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept

the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in

good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to

use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will

draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage

resulting in loss of power and overheating. A 12 gauge cord is

recommended. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it

must be marked with the suffix W-A after the cord type

designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-A would

indicate that the cord would be appropriate for outdoor use.

Gasoline Engine Safety

The engine exhaust from this unit contains chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer,

birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

•Honda engines are designed to give safe and dependable

service if operated according to instructions. Read and

understand the Honda Owner's Manual before operating the

engine. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or

equipment damage.

• To prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation,

keep the engine at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings

and other equipment during operation. Do not place

flammable objects close to the engine.

• Children and pets must be kept away from the area of

operation due to a possibility of burns from hot engine

components or injury from any equipment the engine may be

used to operate.

• Know how to stop the engine quickly, and understand the

operation of all controls. Never permit anyone to operate the

engine without proper instructions.

• Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under

certain conditions.

• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do

not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the refueling area or

where gasoline is stored.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the

tank cap is closed properly and securely.

• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Fuel vapor or

spilled fuel may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the

area is dry before starting the engine.

• Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area.

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure

may cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.

• The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains

hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to

touch the muffler while it is hot. To avoid severe burns or fire

hazards, let the engine cool before transporting it or storing it

indoors.

• Never ship/transport unit with gasoline in the tank.

Operation

Fueling (gas engine)

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive

under certain conditions.

• ALWAYS turn the engine off before refueling.

• Refuel in a well-ventilated area.

• Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the refueling

area or where gasoline is stored.

•Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure

the tank cap is closed properly and securely.

• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or

fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the

area is dry before starting the engine.

• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or

breathing of vapor.

• Keep out of the reach of children.

Fuel Specifications

• Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane number

of 86 or higher, or that has a research octane number of 91

or higher. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause

persistent "pinging" or heavy "spark knock" (a metallic

rapping noise) which, if severe, can lead to engine damage.

• Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and spark plug

deposits and extends the life of the exhaust system

components.

• Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an

oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in

the fuel tank.

Gasolines Containing Alcohol

If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol),

be sure its octane rating is at least as high as that

recommended by the engine manufacturer. There are two

types of "gasohol": one containing ethanol, and the other

containing methanol. Do not use gasohol that contains more

than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasoline containing methanol

(methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain co-

solvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use

gasoline containing more than 5% methanol, even if it has co-

solvents and corrosion inhibitors.

NOTE: Fuel system damage or engine performance

problems resulting from the use of fuels that

contain alcohol is not covered under the

warranty. The engine manufacturer cannot

endorse the use of fuels containing methanol

since evidence of their suitability is incomplete

at this time.

Before buying gasoline from an unfamiliar

station, try to find out if the gasoline contains

alcohol. If it does, confirm the type and

percentage of alcohol used. If you notice any

undesirable operating characteristics while using

a gasoline that contains alcohol, or one that you

think contains alcohol, switch to a gasoline that

you know does not contain alcohol.

NOTE: If "spark knock" or "pinging" occurs at a

steady engine speed under normal load,

change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or

pinging persists, consult an authorized dealer

of the engine manufacturer. Failure to do so is

considered misuse, and damage caused by

misuse is not covered by the engine

manufacturer’s limited warranty.

Occasionally you may experience light spark

knock while operating under heavy loads. This

is no cause for concern, it simply means your

engine is operating efficiently.

Operating the Swing Cart

Use caution when operating the swing cart. Keep

fingers and feet clear of moving parts.

The swing cart allows the motor/pump assembly to be rotated

between two positions.

Position #1: Working Position

The vertical position of the motor/pump assembly is the

working position. This position allows complete submersion of

the siphon tube on the fluid section into a paint bucket. The

maximum height paint bucket that can be used is 28 1/8” (71.4

cm).

Position #2: Transporting Position

The horizontal position of the motor/pump assembly is the

transporting position. This position allows easy removal of the

paint bucket and a sprayer height of 30” (76.2 cm) for ease of

transportation.

Use the following procedure to change the position of the

motor/pump assembly.

1. Holding the handle grip with one hand, pull the locking pin

out of the locking hole on the cart with the other hand.

This allows the motor/pump assembly mounted on the

swing cart frame to move from one position to the other.

2. Let go of the locking pin once it is free of the locking hole.

3. Move the motor/pump assembly to the desired position.

The locking pin is spring loaded and will automatically

engage the locking hole on the swing cart at the new

position.

Setup

Read, understand, and follow all warnings before

starting or operating this sprayer.

1. Make sure the bleed hose is threaded into the bleed

valve. It has factory installed Teflon tape on the fitting and

should be tightened wrench tight.

2. Attach a minimum of 50’ of nylon airless spray hose to the

sprayer. Do not use Teflon tape or thread sealant on the

spray hose connection.

3. Attach an airless spray gun to the spray hose. Do not

attach the tip to the spray gun yet. Remove the tip if it is

already attached.

a. To use two guns, remove the plug from the second gun

outlet on the filter assembly. Connect a hose and gun

to the outlet.

4. Fill the oil cup 1/2 full with Speeflo

Piston Lube (P/N 314-480) supplied

by the factory. This extends packing life.

5. Check the hydraulic fluid level daily before starting the

sprayer. The hydraulic fluid level should be at the “Full”

mark on the dipstick. Refer to the Maintenance section of

this manual for hydraulic system maintenance

instructions.

IMPORTANT: Use of Speeflo's Coolflo™ Hydraulic Fluid

(P/N 430-361) is mandatory in the hydraulic system. Do

not use any other hydraulic fluid. Use of any other

hydraulic fluid may seriously damage the hydraulic

system and will void the warranty.

NOTE: The gas sprayer is

engineered to handle up

to 6 guns with .024" tips

and the electric sprayer

is engineered to handle

up to 3 guns with .019”

tips. For multiple gun

operation, connect a

multiple gun manifold to

the single gun outlet.

Connect a hose and gun

to each outlet. Make

sure the second gun

outlet remains plugged.

6. For gas models, check the engine oil level daily before

starting the sprayer. The gasoline engine oil level is

determined by the engine manufacturer. Refer to the

engine manufacturer’s service manual supplied with this

sprayer.

7. For electric models, use a 20 amp service outlet. Always

locate the electric model within 10 to 15 feet of the service

outlet. Use a short electric cable and a long paint hose.

Any extension cord will create some voltage drop. If an

extension cord is necessary, use only a grounded 3-wire

#12 gauge extension cord.

8. Make sure the sprayer is grounded. All sprayers are

equipped with a grounding lug. A grounding cable (not

supplied) should be used to connect the sprayer to a true

earth ground. Check your local electrical regulations for

detailed grounding instructions. See the Accessories and

Service Kits section near the back of this manual for

grounding cable ordering information.

Proper grounding is important. This applies to

both gas and electric powered models. The

passage of some materials through the nylon fluid

hose will build up a static electric charge, which if

discharged, could ignite solvent vapors present

and create an explosion.

9. Strain all paints with a nylon strainer to ensure trouble

free operation and freedom from frequent cleaning of the

inlet screen and gun filter.

10 Make sure the spray area is well ventilated to prevent

hazardous operation with volatile solvents or exhaust

fumes.

If lacquer or other flammable materials are to be

sprayed, ALWAYS locate the sprayer outside the

immediate spraying area. Failure to do so may

cause an explosion.

11. Locate the sprayer outside the immediate spraying area to

avoid clogged air intake of the engine or electric motor

with overspray.

NOTE: If the sprayer is being operated in an area that

is overloaded by other appliances or low

voltage conditions, it is important to start the

sprayer "unloaded." Tip the electric motor

forward so that the belt is loosened and the

motor starts without full load. This reduces the

amperage draw on starting and may avoid

tripping the circuit breaker.

Preparing a New Sprayer

If this sprayer is new, it is shipped with test fluid in the fluid

section to prevent corrosion during shipment and storage.

This fluid must be thoroughly cleaned out of the system with

mineral spirits before you begin spraying.

IMPORTANT: Always keep the trigger lock on the spray

gun in the locked position while preparing the system.

1. Place the siphon tube into a container of mineral spirits.

2. Place the bleed hose into a metal waste container.

3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure

control knob fully counterclockwise.

4. Open the hydraulic shut-off valve located on the hydraulic

pressure hose. The handle should be in line with the hose.

5. Open the bleed valve by rotating the bleed valve handle

fully counterclockwise.

6. Start the engine or turn on the electric motor.

a. To start the gas

engine,

• move the fuel

valve lever to

the open

position,

• move the

throttle lever to

its middle point,

Cleaning a Clogged Tip

1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” in the Operation

section of this manual.

2. If the tip clogs, rotate the tip handle 180° until the arrow

on the handle is facing the opposite of the spray direction

and the handle clicks in the reverse position.

3. Trigger the gun once so that the pressure can blow the

clog out. NEVER use the tip in the reverse position for

more than ONE trigger pull at a time. This procedure can

be repeated until the tip is free of clogging.

The flow from the spray tip is at very high

pressure. Contact with any body part may be

dangerous. Do not place finger on gun outlet. Do

not point the gun at any person. Never operate

the spray gun without the proper tip guard.

Maintenance

Before proceeding, follow the Pressure Relief

Procedure outlined previously in this manual.

Additionally, follow all other warnings to reduce

the risk of an injection injury, injury from moving

parts or electric shock. Always unplug the

sprayer before servicing!

Daily Maintenance

Two daily procedures are required for routine operator

maintenance on this sprayer:

1. Lubricating the upper packings.

2. Cleaning the rock catcher.

Lubricating the Upper Packings

1. Clean out the paint that has

seeped past the upper packings

into the packing oil cup above the

fluid section.

2. Fill the packing oil cup 1/2 full

with Piston Lube (P/N 314-480)

supplied by the factory. This will

extend packing life.

Cleaning the Inlet Screen

The inlet screen will clog and must be

cleaned at least once a day.

1. Loosen and remove the inlet

screen from the siphon tube.

2. Clean thoroughly with the

appropriate solvent.

Maintaining the Filter Assembly

Clean the filter regularly. Dirty or clogged filters can greatly

reduce filtering ability and cause a number of system problems

including poor spray patterns, clogged spray tips, etc.

Cleaning

To clean the filter, perform the following procedure.

1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the

Operation section of this manual.

2. Remove the filter cap assembly

and spring.

3. Pull the filter element with ball

straight out of the filter body.

4. Clean inside the filter body,

filter element with ball, and filter

cap assembly using the

appropriate solvent.

Inspection

Inspect all parts of the filter assembly before reassembly.

1. Inspect the ball inside the filter element. If the ball has

pressure cuts or scratches, replace the filter element.

a. If the ball is cut, remove the Teflon o-ring using an o-

ring pick and remove the carbide seat.

b. Check the seat for nicks or grooves. If the seat is

damaged, replace.

2. Remove the spring from the spring guide on the filter cap.

a. Measure the length of the spring uncompressed. If it

measures less the 3/4” from end to end, replace.

b. Push the spring back onto the spring guide until it

“snaps” back into position.

3. Inspect the two Teflon gaskets and the Teflon o-ring for

deformity, nicks, or cuts. Replace, if needed.

Reassembly

After cleaning and inspecting all parts, reassemble the filter.

1. Place the carbide seat into the filter body. Make sure the

beveled side of the seat is facing up.

2. Place the Teflon o-ring into the groove on the outer

diameter of the carbide seat.

3. Place the filter element with ball into the filter body.

4. Push the spring back onto the spring guide of the filter cap

until it “snaps” back into position, if not already done.

5. Place the thin Teflon gasket onto the step at the top of the

filter body.

6. Place the thick Teflon gasket onto the top of the thin

gasket.

7. Tighten the filter cap assembly onto the filter body.

NOTE: The top and bottom of the filter element with

ball are identical.

NOTE: The Teflon gaskets, Teflon o-ring, and spring

are packaged in Filter Service Kit P/N 930-050.

NOTE: Removal of the Teflon o-ring will damage the

o-ring and require replacement.

NOTE: Use care in handling

parts as dirt, debris,

scratches, or nicks

may prevent o-rings or

gaskets from sealing.

Maintaining the Hydraulic System

IMPORTANT: Use of Speeflo's Coolflo™ Hydraulic Fluid is

mandatory in the PowrTwin hydraulic system. Do not use

any other hydraulic fluid. Use of any other hydraulic fluid

may seriously damage the hydraulic system and will void

the warranty.

1. Check the hydraulic fluid daily. It should be at the “Full”

mark on the dipstick. If it is low, add only Speeflo

Coolflo™ Hydraulic Fluid (P/N 430-361). Never add or

change hydraulic fluid except in a clean, dust-free area.

Contamination of the hydraulic fluid will shorten hydraulic

pump life and may void warranty.

2. Change the hydraulic fluid every twelve months. Drain the

old fluid from the tank and fill with 4 quarts of Speeflo

Coolflo™ Hydraulic Fluid. Start the sprayer at just enough

pressure to operate the fluid section. Run the sprayer at

this low pressure for at least 5 minutes. This removes air

from the system. Check the fluid level after this

procedure. Do not over-fill.

3. The hydraulic system has an external, replaceable

hydraulic filter. Change the filter every twelve months.

4. The hydraulic pump should not be serviced in the field. If

service on the hydraulic pump is required, it must be

returned to Speeflo.

Maintaining the Fluid Section

If the sprayer is going to be out of service for an extended

period of time, it is recommended that following cleanup a

mineral spirits and oil mixture be introduced as a preservative.

Packings may tend to dry out from lack of use. This is

particularly true of the upper packing set for which upper

packing lubricant Piston Lube (P/N 314-480) is recommended

in normal usage.

If the sprayer has been out of service for an extended period

of time, it may be necessary to prime the pump with solvent. It

is extremely important that the threads on the siphon

tube/hose coupling are properly sealed. Any air leakage will

produce erratic operation of the sprayer and may damage the

system. The up and the down strokes should be approximately

equal in time (one should not be faster than the other). A fast

up or down stroke may indicate air in the system or

malfunctioning valve or seats (see the Troubleshooting

section).

NOTE: When replacing the hydraulic filter during a

fluid change, it may be necessary to add up to

one additional quart of hydraulic fluid.

Basic Engine Maintenance

(gas engine)

• For detailed engine maintenance and technical

specifications refer to the separate gasoline engine

manual.

• All service to the engine should be performed by an

authorized Honda Power Equipment dealer. To locate a

dealer in your area, look in the Yellow Pages of your

telephone directory under Gasoline Engines, Garden &

Lawn Equipment & Supplies, Lawn Mowers, etc.

• The Honda engine is warranted exclusively by American

Honda Motor Co., Inc.

• Use a premium quality motor oil certified to meet or

exceed U.S. Automotive requirement SG.or SF. SAE

10W30 is recommended for general all temperature use.

Other viscosities may be required in other climates.

• Use only a (NGK) BP6ES or BPR6E spark plug. Gap the

plug to 0.028 to 0.031 In. (0.7 to 0.8 mm) Always use a

spark plug wrench.

Daily

1. Check engine oil level, and fill as necessary.

2. Check gasoline level, and fill as necessary.

Always follow the fueling procedure outlined

earlier in this manual.

First 20 Hours

1. Change engine oil.

Every 100 Hours

1. Change engine oil.

2. Clean the sediment cup.

3. Clean and re-gap the spark plug.

4. Clean the spark arrestor.

Weekly

1. Remove the air filter cover and clean the element. In very

dusty environments, check the filter daily. Replace the

element as needed. Replacement elements can be

purchased from your local Honda dealer.

Engine Operation and Service

1. Clean and oil air filter pad on gasoline engine every 25

hours or once weekly. Do not permit the air intake screen

around the fly wheel of the gas engine to load up with

paint or trash. Clean it regularly. The service life and

efficiency of the gas engine model depends upon keeping

the gasoline engine running properly. Change the oil in

the engine every 100 hours. Failure to observe this may

result in engine overheating. Consult the engine

manufacturer's service manual provided.

2. To conserve fuel, service life, and efficiency of the sprayer,

always operate the gasoline engine at the lowest RPM at

which it runs smoothly without laboring and delivers the

amount required for the particular painting operation.

Higher RPM does not produce higher working pressure.

The gasoline engine is connected to the hydraulic pump

by a pulley combination designed to produce full paint

delivery at maximum RPM.

3. The warranty on gasoline engines or electric motors is

limited to the original manufacturer.

Replacing the Motor Brushes

(electric motor)

Perform this procedure using Motor Brush Kit P/N 978-050.

The kit consists of two brushes, two springs, and two clips.

NOTE: Brushes should be replaced when they are

worn to less than 1/2 inch. Check and replace

both brushes at the same time.

1. Remove both inspection covers on the motor.

2. Push in the spring clip to unhook it, then pull it out..

3. Loosen the terminal screw. Pull the brush lead away, but

leave the motor lead in place. Remove the brush and

spring.

4. Inspect the commutator for burning, excessive pitting or

gouging. A black color on the commutator is normal.

5. Install the new brush so its lead slides in the long slot of

the brush holder. Push the terminal under the terminal

screw washer. Ensure the motor lead is still connected at

the screw. Tighten the screw.

6. Place the spring on the brush as shown above. Push in

and hook the spring clip. Repeat this procedure for the

other side.

7. Reinstall both inspection covers.

If electric motor overloads and stops running,

IMMEDIATELY turn the motor off and follow the

Pressure Relief Procedure in the Cleanup section

of this manual. Wait until the motor cools

(approximately 30 minutes). Then push in the

bubble top, manual reset button, turn the motor on

and pressurize the system.

Check for causes of air introduction:

• Loose fittings in tank.

• Loose fittings on hydraulic pump.

• Loose hose connections.

• Low oil in reservoir.

5. Stall at top can occur randomly when fluid

pump picks up air. Reset valve. Avoid air in

the fluid pump.

1. Before dismantling oil motor, start machine.

With pump cycling under pressure, touch

the hydraulic cylinder and the head to see if

cylinder or head gets hotter. This will help

determine if piston seal is blown or piston

nut is broken. If heat is on the head, check

the o-rings on spool valve.

2. Dismantle oil motor and check piston seals

cylinder bore and piston nut. Pay special

attention to piston nut. It can be cracked

and not show externally.

La pression maximale de ce pulvérisateur est d’environ 3 300 PSI /

22,8 MPa.

MESURES PRÉVENTIVES :

• Ne pas pointer le pistolet vers une partie du corps.

• Ne pas pointer le pistolet vers une personne ou un animal; ne

pas pulvériser non plus de produit dessus.

• NE JAMAIS mettre une partie du corps devant le jet de produit.

NE JAMAIS toucher les fuites du flexible de pulvérisation.

• NE JAMAIS mettre la main, même gantée, devant le pistolet (les

gants n’offrent aucune protection contre les blessures par

injection).

• TOUJOURS verrouiller la détente, arrêter la pompe et relâcher toute

la pression avant d’effectuer la maintenance de l’appareil ou de le

laisser sans surveillance, d’en nettoyer le protège-embout ou

l’embout, ou de remplacer ce dernier. La pression ne sera pas

relâchée par le simple arrêt du moteur; pour ce faire, on doit se servir

du bouton PRIME/SPRAY (se reporter à la section COMMENT

LIBÉRER LA PRESSION, du présent manuel).

• TOUJOURS s'assurer que le protège-embout est en place avant de

pulvériser. Il est cependant à noter que, s’il assure une certaine

protection, ce dispositif joue surtout un rôle préventif.

• TOUJOURS retirer l’embout avant de vidanger ou de nettoyer

l’appareil.

•TOUJOURS inspecter le flexible avant de commencer; celui-ci

peut présenter des fuites attribuables à l’usure, à une flexion

excessibe ou à un traitement abusif, lesquelles fuites présentent

des risques d’injection cutanée. Ne pas utiliser le flexible pour

soulever ou tirer l’équipement.

• NE JAMAIS utiliser de pistolet sans verrou de détente et protège-

doigts.

• Tous les accessoires (pistolets, embouts, rallonges, flexibles etc.)

doivent pouvoir subir une pression nominale de 3 300 PSI / 22,8

MPa ou plus.

•Ne laissez pas l’appareil sous tension ou sous pression quand vous

vous en éloignez. Quand vous n’utilisez pas l’appareil, éteignez-le

et libérez la pression conformément aux instructions COMMENT

LIBÉRER LA PRESSION, du présent manuel.

• Vérifiez que toutes les connexions sont bien serrées avant

d’utiliser l’appareil. Toute pièce qui n’est pas fixée solidement

risque d’être projetée violemment ou d’entraîner la fuite d’un jet

de liquide à une pression extrêmement élevée, ce qui pourrait

causer des blessures graves.

•Verrouillez toujours la détente quand vous ne pulvérisez pas.

Vérifiez que le verrou de la détente fonctionne correctement.

REMARQUE À L’INTENTION DES MÉDECINS :

Les injections cutanées sont des lésions traumatiques; il

importe donc de les traiter sans délai. On NE DOIT PAS retarder

ce traitement sous prétexte de vérifier la toxicité du produit en

cause, celle-ci n’étant conséquente que dans le cas d’injection

directe de certains produits dans le système sanguin. Il pourrait

s’avérer nécessaire de consulter un plasticien ou un spécialiste

en chirurgie reconstructive de la main.

DANGER : ÉMANATIONS DANGEREUSES

Certains produits (peintures, solvants, insecticides ou autres)

peuvent être nocifs s’ils sont inhalés ou entrent en contact

avec l’organisme. Les émanations de ces produits peuvent

provoquer de graves nausées, évanouissements ou empoisonnements.

MESURES PRÉVENTIVES :

• Se servir d’un masque ou d’un respirateur s’il y a risque

d’inhalation (lire toutes les directives concernant ces dispositifs

afin de s’assurer qu’ils offrent la protection requise).

• Porter des lunettes de protection.

• Porter les vêtements de protection prescrits par le fabricant du

produit utilisé.

DANGER : EXPLOSION OU INCENDIE

Les émanations de certains produits peuvent exploser ou

s’enflammer, et risquent d’entraîner des dommages matériels

ou de graves blessures.

MESURES PRÉVENTIVES :

• S’assurer que l’aire de travail est dotée de moyens d’évacuation

d’air vicié et d’introduction d’air frais pour éviter l’accumulation de

vapeurs inflammables. Les vapeurs dégagées par la peinture ou

les solvants peuvent provoquer une explosion ou s’enflammer.

• Ne pas pulvériser de produit dans un endroit clos.

• Ne pas travailler près de sources d’ignition (décharges

électrostatiques ou étincelles provoquées par le

branchement/ débranchement d’appareils ou la commutation

d’interrupteurs, d'appareils électriques, flammes nues,

veilleuses, objets chauds, etc.). La peinture ou le solvant

s’écoulant dans l’équipement peut générer de l’électricité statique.

• Ne pas fumer dans l’aire de travail.

• L’aire de travail doit être munie d’un extincteur en bon état de marche.

• Prévoir un espace d’au moins 7.62 mètres entre la pompe et

l’objet à pulvériser s’ils sont dans la même pièce bien ventilée

(rallonger le flexible au besoin). Les vapeurs inflammables étant

souvent plus lourdes que l’air, l’espace au-dessus du plancher

doit être particulièrement bien aéré. La pompe contient des

pièces qui produisent des arcs et émettent des étincelles pouvant

enflammer les vapeurs.

• Les appareils et objets à l’intérieur ou à proximité de l’aire de

travail doivent être adéquatement mis à la terre pour éviter les

décharges électrostatiques.

• Veillez à ce que la zone soit propre et exempte de contenants de

peinture ou de solvant, chiffons ou autres matériaux inflammables.

• Les flexibles dont on se sert doivent être conçus pour subir les

pressions élevées et faits de matériaux conducteurs ou mis à la

terre adéquatement; le pistolet sera mis à la terre par le biais de

ses raccords aux flexibles.

• Pour les appareils électriques — Le cordon d’alimentation doit

être branché à un circuit trifilaire.

• L’appareil doit toujours être vidangé à basse pression, embout

retiré, dans un contenant métallique distinct. Tenir le pistolet

contre la paroi du contenant de manière à mettre ce dernier à la

terre et à prévenir les décharges électrostatiques.

• Toujours respecter les mises en garde et les directives du

fabricant des produits et solvants utilisés. On doit connaître les

produits contenus dans les peintures et solvants qu'on pulvérise.

Lire les fiches techniques santé-sécurité (FTSS) et les étiquettes

des contenants fournies avec les peintures et solvants. Suivres

les consignes de sécurité du fabricant de peinture et de solvant.

• S’entourer de toutes les précautions possibles lorsqu’on utilise

des produits ayant un point d’éclair inférieur à 21°C (70°F). Le

point d'éclair est la température à laquelle le liquide peut créer

suffisamment de vapeurs et s'enflammer.

• Le plastique est générateur de décharges électrostatiques; ne jamais

en suspendre pour fermer une aire de travail ou en utiliser en guise

de toile de protection lorsqu’on pulvérise un produit inflammable.

• Se servir de la pression la plus basse possible pour vidanger l’appareil.

• Ne pas pulvériser de produit sur la pompe.

DANGER : EXPLOSION CAUSÉE PAR DES PRODUITS

INCOMPATIBLES

Ce type d’explosion peut entraîner des dommages matériels

ou des blessures graves.

MESURES PRÉVENTIVES :

• Ne pas utiliser de produits contenant du chlore ou du javellisant.

IMPORTANTES CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ • Lire toutes ces

consignes avant d’utiliser l’appareil. GARDER CES CONSIGNES.

• Ne pas utiliser de solvants à base de halons comme l’eau de

javel, les agents antimoisissure, le chlorure de méthylène et le

trichloroéthane-1-1-1, lesquels ne sont pas compatibles avec

l’aluminium.

• Communiquer avec le fournisseur du produit concerné pour en

connaître la compatibilité avec l’aluminium.

sécurité en vertu de l’Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

Le cas échéant, on doit les consulter, notamment les parties 1910

des normes générales et 1926 des normes de construction.

• N’utiliser que les pièces autorisées par le fabricant; les utilisateurs

qui choisiront d’utiliser des composants dont les caractéristiques

techniques et les exigences en matière de sécurité sont

inférieures devront en assumer tous les risques et responsabilités.

• Tous les raccords, les tuyaux et les bouchons de remplissage

doivent être fixés solidement en place avant d’utiliser la pompe

de pulvérisation. Toute pièce qui n’est pas fixée solidement

risque d’être projetée violemment ou d’entraîner la fuite d’un jet

de liquide à une pression extrêmement élevée, ce qui pourrait

causer des blessures graves.

• Avant chaque utilisation, examiner tous les flexibles afin de

confirmer l’absence de coupures, de fuites, d’abrasions ou de

renflements. Vérifier également l’intégrité des raccords. Remplacer

sans délai les pièces qui semblent présenter des défectuosités. Ne

jamais tenter de réparer un flexible; remplacer ceux qui font défaut

par des modèles haute pression, avec mise à la terre.

•. Ne faites pas de nouer avec le tuyau et ne le tordez pas trop. Le

tuyau à vide peut présenter des fuites suite à l’usure, les nouer

ou les mauvais traitements. Une fuite risque d’injecter du produit

dans la peau.

•. N’exposez pas le tuyau à des températures ou des pressions

supérieures à celles spécifiées par le fabricant.

• Ne pas pulvériser à l’extérieur par grands vents.

• Porter des vêtements aptes à protéger la peau et les cheveux du

produit utilisé.

• Ne pas utiliser le pistolet ou ne pas pulvériser de produits en

présence d’enfants à proximité. Éloigner les enfants de

l’appareil.

• Rester vigilant et faire attention à ce que l'on fait.

• Ne pas se servir de l'équipement en cas de fatigue ou si vos

aptitudes sont affaiblies par la consommation de drogues ou de

boissons alcoolisées.

• Pour les appareils électriques — Débranchez toujours le cordon

électrique de la prise avant de travailler sur l’équipement.

• N’utilisez pas le tuyau pour tirer ou soulever l’équipement.

• Ne pas soulever par la poignée de chariot en chargeant ou en

déchargeant.

Instructions de mise à la terre

Les modèles électriques doivent être mis à la terre. La mise à la terre

réduit les risques d'électrocution lors d'un court-circuit en permettant

au courant de s'écouler par le fil de mise à la terre. Cet appareil est

muni d'un cordon électrique avec fil de mise à la terre ainsi que d'une

fiche de terre. La fiche doit être branchée sur une prise installée

correctement et mise à la terre conformément à la réglementation et

aux codes en vigueur.

DANGER — Une prise de terre mal branchée peut être à l'origine

d'électrocutions. S'il s'avère nécessaire de réparer ou de remplacer le

cordon électrique ou la fiche, ne pas brancher le fil vert de mise à la terre

sur l'une ou l'autre des bornes à broche plate. Le fil recouvert d'un isolant

vert avec ou sans rayures jaunes est le fil de mise à la terre et doit être

branché sur la broche de mise à la terre.

Si vous ne comprenez pas les instructions de mise à la terre ou si

vous n'êtes pas sûr que l'appareil est correctement mis à la terre,

contactez un électricien agréé. Ne pas modifier la fiche d'origine. Si la

prise ne convient pas à la fiche, faites installer la prise adéquate par

un électricien agréé.

IMPORTANT : Utiliser uniquement une rallonge à trois fils munie

d'une fiche de terre dans une prise secteur mise à la terre

correspondant au type de fiche de l'appareil. S'assurer que votre

rallonge est en bon état. Lorsque vous utilisez une rallonge,

assurez-vous qu'elle soit d'un calibre suffisant pour supporter

l'intensité du courant requise par l'appareil. Une rallonge trop

mince entraîne une chute de tension, une diminution de

l'intensité et une surchauffe. Une rallonge de calibre 12 est

recommandée. Si vous devez utiliser une rallonge à l’extérieur,

celle-ci doit comprendre la marque W-A après la désignation

indiquant le type de cordon. Par exemple, la désignation SJTW-A

indique que le cordon est conçu pour être utilisé à l’extérieur.

Instrucciones para conectar a tierra

Los modelos eléctricos deben estar conectados a tierra. En caso de

que ocurra un corto circuito, la conexión a tierra reduce el riesgo de

choque eléctrico al proporcionar un alambre de escape para la

corriente eléctrica. Este producto está equipado con un cable que

tiene un alambre de conexión a tierra con un enchufe de conexión a

tierra apropiado. El enchufe se debe enchufar en una toma de

corriente que se haya instalado y conectado a tierra debidamente, de

acuerdo con todos los códigos y estatutos locales.

PELIGRO — Una instalación inapropiada del enchufe de conexión a

tierra puede dar como resultado el que exista un riesgo de choque

eléctrico. Si es necesario reparar o reemplazar el cable o el enchufe,

no conecte el alambre de conexión a tierra a ninguno de los

terminales de hoja planos. El alambre con aislamiento que tiene la

superficie exterior de color verde con franjas amarillas o sin ellas es el

alambre de conexión a tierra que debe conectarse al conector de

conexión a tierra.

Verifique con un electricista o técnico de servicio calificado si las

instrucciones para conectar a tierra no le han quedado

completamente claras, o si duda que el producto haya quedado

conectado a tierra de manera apropiada. No modifique el enchufe

que se proporciona. Si el enchufe no entra en la toma de corriente,

pídale a un electricista calificado que instale la toma apropiada.

IMPORTANTE: Use solamente extensiones trifilares que tengan

un enchufe de conexión a tierra de 3 hojas y un receptáculo de

triple ranura que acepte el enchufe del producto. Asegúrese de

que su extensión esté en buenas condiciones. Cuando use una

extensión, asegúrese de usar una que sea lo suficientemente

resistente como para soportar la corriente que descargue su

producto. Un cable de un tamaño menor causará una caída de

voltage en la línea que dará como resultado una pérdida de

energía y un sobrecalenta|ôento. Se recomienda usar un cable

de calibre 12. Si se utiliza un cable de extensión en el exterior,

tiene que estar marcado con el sufijo W-A después de la

designación del tipo de cable. Por ejemplo, SJTW-A para indicar

que el cable es apropiado para uso en exteriores.
