Cautions and Warnings
AIRLESS EQUIPMENT SAFETY
Injection Hazard
• DO NOT POINT THE GUN AT ANY PERSON
•
NEVER LOOK AT THE GUN FROM THE FRONT (NOZZLE END)
•
NEVER trigger an airless gun while it is aimed at a person. The hydraulic pressure may inject fluid into
the flesh, causing injury or death. If the fluid penetrates the skill it WILL cause serious injury. Clothing,
such as gloves will NOT provide protection. The system is capable of fluid pressure high enough to
cause a LETHAL INJECTION.
• TREAT THE APPLICATOR AS YOU WOULD A LOADED WEAPON.
Before applying pressure to the system, ALWAYS:
•
Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and maximum pressure recommendations.
• Secure the trigger in the OFF position and check all pressure connections.
•
Use grounded, high pressure fluid lines.
• Check that the pump is properly grounded.
Before disassembly of ANY part of the pressure system (including the applicator or its nozzle) ALWAYS:
• Shut the pump OFF.
• Discharge the residual fluid and pressure from the applicator.
• Secure the trigger in the OFF position.
Follow these same three procedures anytime that operation is discontinued.
Do NOT undertake any of the following until pressure is relieved from the entire system:
• Loosen or remove the nozzle.
• Disassemble any part of the applicator.
• Loosen or disconnect any fluid line fittings.
• Disassemble any part of the pump.
Be sure that the power to the pump is OFF before undertaking ANY repair, maintenance or adjustment.
If it is necessary to adjust or clean the nozzle on site, be sure that it is aimed away from all personnel so
that it may discharge safely if there is residual pressure in the system.
Do NOT use any replacement part that does not meet the manufacturer’s specifications.
