Warnings Warnings The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these symbols appear in the body of this manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where applicable.
Warnings WARNING PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD Use of fluids that are incompatible with aluminum in pressurized equipment can cause serious chemical reaction and equipment rupture. Failure to follow this warning can result in death, serious injury, or property damage. • Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such solvents. • Many other fluids may contain chemicals that can react with aluminum.
Warnings WARNING BATTERY HAZARD The battery may leak, explode, cause burns, or cause an explosion if mishandled. Contents of an open battery can cause severe irritation and/or chemical burns. If on skin, wash with soap and water. If in eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention. • Only use the battery type specified for use with the equipment.

Grounding Procedure (For Flammable Materials Only) Grounding Procedure Pressure Relief Procedure (For Flammable Materials Only) This equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire for the electric current. This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved.
Setup/Startup Setup/Startup 6. If removed, install both (2) strainers. This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, splashing fluid and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment. ti3430a 1. Perform Grounding Procedure (For Flammable Materials Only), page 8 if using flammable materials. 7.
