FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in fire or explosion and serious injury.
D Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed. See Electrical Grounding.
D Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvent or the fluid being
sprayed.
D Extinguish all the open flames or pilot lights in the spray area.
D Electrically disconnect all the equipment in the spray area.
D Keep the spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
D Do not turn on or off any light switch in the spray area while operating or if fumes are present.
D Do not smoke in the spray area.
D Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.
D If there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop spraying immediately. Identify and
correct the problem.

D Route the hoses away from the traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.
Do not expose Graco hoses to temperatures above 150_F (65_C) or below --40_F (--40_C).
D Do not use the hoses to pull the equipment.
D Use fluids or solvents that are compatible with the equipment wetted parts. See the Technical
Data section of all the equipment manuals. Read the fluid and solvent manufacturer's warnings.
D Fluid hoses must have spring guards on both ends to protect them from rupture caused by kinks
or bends near the couplings.

HAZARD OF USING FLUIDS CONTAINING HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS
Never use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids
containing such solvents in this equipment. Such use could result in a serious chemical reaction,
with the possibility of explosion, which could cause death, serious injury and/or substantial property
damage.
Consult your fluid suppliers to ensure that the fluids being used are compatible with aluminum and zinc
parts.
