hazard symbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where

applicable.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

High-pressure fluid from dispensing device, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This

may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical

treatment.

• Do not point dispensing device at anyone or at any part of the body.

• Do not put your hand over the fluid outlet.

• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.

• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop dispensing and before cleaning, checking,

or servicing equipment.

• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

• Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

When flammable fluids are present in the work area, such as gasoline and windshield wiper fluid, be

aware that flammable fumes can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as cigarettes and portable electric lamps.

• Ground all equipment in the work area.

• Keep work area free of debris, including rags and spilled or open containers of solvent and gasoline.

• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.

• Use only grounded hoses.

• Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock. Do not use equipment

until you identify and correct the problem.

• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD

Over-pressurization can result in equipment rupture and serious injury.

• Do not exceed the maximum air input pressure.

• Fill slowly to avoid over pressurizing reservoir.

ing.
