WARNING

Pressurized Equipment/Skin Injection Hazard

High pressure fluid from the spray gun/dispense valve, hose leaks, or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin can also cause serious injury.

• Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate medical attention. See Medical Alert.
• Do not point the gun/valve at anyone or any part of the body.
• Do not put hand or fingers over the spray tip.
• Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Do not “blow back” fluid on high pressure airless systems.
• Always have the tip guard on the spray gun when spraying.
• Check the gun diffuser operation weekly.
• Be sure the gun trigger safety operates before spraying.
• Lock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.
• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in the instruction manual whenever you:
  • Are instructed to relieve pressure,
  • Stop spraying,
  • Clean, check, or service the equipment,
  • Install or clean the spray tip.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check the hoses, tubes and couplings daily. Replace worn, damaged, or loose parts immediately. Permanently coupled hoses cannot be repaired; replace the entire hose.
• Use only Graco approved hoses. Do not remove any spring guard that is used to help protect the hose from rupture caused by kinks or bends near the couplings.
