Spray Areas
Spray Area and
Equipment Use
Toxic Fluid or Fumes
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause
severe injury or death if splashed
in the eyes or on the skin, or if
inhaled or swallowed.
High-pressure fluid sprayed
from the gun, hose fittings, or
ruptured/damaged components
can pierce the skin.
While this injury can appear as
cut skin, this is a severe injury
that can result in the amputation
of the affected area.
Read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for instructions
to know and understand how to handle the specific
hazards of the fluids used, and the effects of long-
term exposure.
During the spray, clean, or servicing of equipment,
or when in the work area, keep the work area fully
ventilated.
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE)
when in the work area or during equipment operation.
Refer to the Personal Protective Equipment warnings
in this manual.
Store hazardous fluid in approved containers and
refer to local, municipal, state, and national codes
governing the disposal of hazardous fluids.
Do not point or operate the spray gun at the body
part of a person.
Do not put your hand or fingers over the gun fluid
nozzle or fittings in the hose or Proportioner.
Do not try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand,
glove, body, or shop rag.
Do not blowback fluid, as the equipment is not an
air spray system.
Relieve pressure in the supply hoses, Proportioner,
and QuickHeat™ hose before the equipment is
inspected, cleaned, or serviced.
Use the lowest possible pressure to recirculate,
purge, or troubleshoot the equipment.
Examine the hoses, couplings, and fittings every day.
Service or immediately replace parts that leak, are
worn, or are damaged. Replace high-pressure hose
sections. They cannot be recoupled or serviced.
