EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
General Safety
Any
misuse of the pressure washer or accessories, such
as overpressurizing, modifying parts, using
incompatible
chemicals and fluids, or using worn or damaged parts,
can cause them to rupture and result in fluid injection,
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or other serious
bodily
injury
, fire, explosion or property damage.
NEVER
alter or modify any part of this equipment; doing
so
could cause it to malfunction.
CHECK
all spray equipment regularly and repair or
replace
worn or damaged parts immediately
.
ALWAYS
wear protective eyewear and appropriate
clothing.
If using a chemical injector
, read and follow the
chemical manufacturer
’
s literature
for
recommendations
on additional protective equipment, such as a respirator
.
System
Pressure
This sprayer can develop high operating pressures. Be
sure
that all spray equipment and accessories are rated
to withstand the maximum working pressure of this
sprayer.
DO NOT
exceed the maximum working
pressure of any component or accessory used in the
system.
Chemical Compatibility
BE
SURE
that all chemicals used in the chemical injector
are compatible with the wetted parts of the hose, gun,
wand
and tip, as given in the T
echnical Data (inside back
cover). Always read the chemical manufacturer ’s
literature before using any chemical in this pressure
washer.
HOSE SAFETY
High
pressure fluid in the hoses can be very dangerous. If
the
hose develops a leak, split or
rupture due to any kind
of wear , damage or misuse, the high pressure spray
emitted from it can cause a fluid injection injury or other
serious
bodily injury or property damage.
ALL FLUID HOSES MUST HA VE STRAIN RELIEFS
ON
BOTH ENDS.
The strain reliefs help protect the
hose
from kinks or bends at or close to the coupling, which can
result
in hose rupture.
TIGHTEN
all fluid connections securely before each
use.
High
pressure fluid can dislodge a loose coupling or allow
high
pressure spray to be emitted from the coupling.
NEVER
use a damaged hose. Before each use, check
entire hose for cuts, leaks, abrasion, bulging cover , or
damage or movement of the hose couplings. If any of
these
conditions exist, replace the hose immediately
.
DO
NOT
try to recouple high pressure hose or mend it with
tape
or any other device. A repaired
hose cannot contain
the
high pressure fluid.
HANDLE AND ROUTE HOSES CAREFULL Y.
Do not
pull on hoses to move the pressure washer. Do not use
chemicals which are not compatible with the inner tube
and cover of the hose.
DO NOT
expose Graco hose to
temperatures
above 200
_ F
(93
_ C)
or below
–40
_ F
(–40_ C).
MOVING
P
ARTS HAZARD
Moving
parts can pinch or amputate fingers or other body
parts.
KEEP CLEAR
of moving parts when starting or
operating
the pressure washer
.
NEVER
operate the pressure washer without all guards
and interlocks installed and functioning. Follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure before checking or
servicing the pressure washer to prevent discharging
high
pressure fluid from the gun.
