Important Safety
Information
Read all safety information before operating
the equipment. Save these instructions
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
a) 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.
Grounding Instructions
This product 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.
WaRnIng - 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.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
below. Make sure that the product is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this product.

b) WaRnIng - To reduce the risk of
fire or explosion:
1. Do not spray flammable or
combustible materials near an open flame, pilot
lights or sources of ignition such as hot objects,
cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment and
electrical appliances. Avoid creating sparks from
connecting and disconnecting power cords.
2. Do not spray or clean with liquids having a flash
point of less than 21ºC (69.8ºF). Flash point is the
temperature at which a fluid can produce enough
vapor to ignite.
3. Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is
able to result in static electricity. Static electricity
creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence
of paint or solvent fumes. All parts of the spray
system, including the pump, hose assembly, spray
gun and objects in and around the spray area
shall be properly grounded to protect against static
discharge and sparks. Use only conductive or
grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses
specified by the manufacturer.
4. Verify that all containers and collection systems are
grounded to prevent static discharge.
5. Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded
extension cords (electric models only). Do not use
a 3 to 2 adapter.
6. Do not use a paint or solvent containing
halogenated hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine,
bleach mildewcide, methylene chloride and
trichloroethane. They are not compatible with
aluminum. Contact the coating supplier about
compatibility of material with aluminum.
7. Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good
supply of fresh air moving through the area to keep
the air within the spray area free from accumulation
of flammable vapors. Keep pump assembly in well
ventilated area. Do not spray pump assembly.
8. Do not smoke in the spray area.
9. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar
spark producing products in the spray area.
10. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent
containers, rags, and other flammable materials.
11. Know the contents of the paint 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
manufacture’s safety instructions.
12. 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.
13. Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic
to enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop
cloths when spraying flammable material.
14. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and
working.
c) WaRnIng - To reduce the risk of skin
injection:
1. Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person
or animal.
2. Keep hands and other body parts away from the
discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks
with any part of the body.
3. Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray
without the nozzle tip guard in place.
4. Only use a nozzle tip specified by the
manufacturer.
5. Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle
tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs while
spraying, ALWAYS lock gun trigger, shut pump
off, and release all pressure before servicing,
cleaning tip or guard, or changing tip. 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 PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE described in the pump manual.
6. 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 manufacturer’s instructions.
7. High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into
the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the
event that injection occurs, seek medical attention
immediately.
