0 Read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equipment.
0 Use the equipment only forits intended purpose. If you are not sure,call your Graco distributor.
0 Do not exceed the maximumworking pressure of the lowest rated system component. Do not
exceed 100 psi (6,9 bar) air pressure to themotor. Refer to the pump instruction manual
for the
maximum fluid working pressure of this equipment.
0 Use fluids and solventswhich are compatible with the equipment wetted parts. Refer
to the
Technical Data section of all equipment manuals. Read the fluid and solvent manufacturer's
. . warnings.
Route hosesaway from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, andhot surfaces. Do not expose
Graco hosesto temperatures above65"C~(15OoF)or below40°C (-4OaF).
Comply withall applicable local, state, and national fire, electrical, and safety regulations.

INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your bodyand cause extremely
serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashedin the eyes or on the skin can also
cause serious injury.
Fluid injected into theskin might looklike just a cut, butit is a serious injury.Get immediate medi-
cal attention.
Do not point the gun at anyoneor at any part of the body.
Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip.
Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
Do not "blow back" fluid; thisis not an air spray system.
Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the gun when spraying.
Check the gun diffuser operation weekly. Refer
to the gun manual.
Be sure the gun trigger safety operates before spraying.
Lock the gun trigger safety whenyou stop spraying.
Follow thePressure Relief Procedure onpage 6 if the spraytip clogs and before cleaning, check-
ing or servicing the equipment.
Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

repair high pressure couplings: you must replace the entire hose.
Fluid hoses must have spring guards on both ends, to help protect them from rupture caused
by
kinks or bends near the couDlinos.

Always wear protectiveeyewear, gloves, clothing and respirator as recommendedby the fluid and
