Safety
WARNING
PEOPLE OR OBJECTS CAN BE HURT OR DAMAGED IF THIS UNIT IS NOT USED CORRECTLY!
Failure to read all the instructions before operating the unit may result in personal injury or death from the improper use or the chemical solution. Anyone handling, operating or using the unit must read and understand the instructions in the manual. The buyer assumes all responsibility for safety and proper use in accordance with the instructions.
Using or servicing the unit without appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) may result in serious injury such as burns, rashes, eye, throat or lung damage and death. Always wear PPE as indicated in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) when using or servicing the unit. Protect eyes, skin, and lungs against drifting spray.
Chemical solutions may pose a health risk and death if they contact the skin or eyes, are inhaled or swallowed. Always read and follow all chemical safety precautions and handling instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer and the SDS associated with the chemical solution before using the unit.
Pressure within the equipment may cause an unexpected release of the chemical solution and cause serious injury such as burns, rashes, eye damage, throat or lung damage and death. Always depressurize and clean the unit after each use. Release any remaining air pressure by opening the discharge ball valve. Never leave the unit unattended while pressurized.
Using the unit with fluid temperatures above 100°F (37.8°C) may result in scalding, burns, serious injury or death. DO NOT use a solution with a temperature above 100°F (37.8°C).
Operating the unit when damaged or leaking may result in exposure to chemical solutions, serious injury or death. Never use the unit if it is damaged or leaking.
Never open ball valves with chemical in the tank, unless the ball valves are connected to an appropriate location for chemical discharge. Never point the discharge valves at yourself, another person, or any object you do not want covered in chemical. Never operate unit without the lid on.
Do not use the unit if an overflow hose is not installed. If chemical flows from the overflow port, shut down the unit immediately and correct the problem before proceeding.
Using incoming air pressure exceeding 80 psi (5.5 bar) may result in pressure buildup, explosion, serious injury or death. DO NOT exceed 80 psi (5.5 bar) incoming air pressure when operating the unit.
Use of hydrocarbons and flammable products may result in explosions, fire and serious injury or death. Never use hydrocarbons or flammable products with the unit.
Mixing an alkaline with an acid may result in a chemical reaction. Overheating of the mixture may cause it to splatter caustic compounds or release hazardous fumes, gas and vapors. Always flush the unit with fresh water thoroughly when switching from an alkaline to an acid or an acid to an alkaline.

Maintenance

WARNING
Performing any maintenance with the unit connected to the air supply and/or electrical power may result in serious injury or death. Before conducting any maintenance, always ensure that the unit has been drained and disconnected from both compressed air and electrical power. Servicing or modifying this unit with parts not listed in this manual may cause the unit to operate improperly. Do not use unauthorized parts when servicing the unit.

Maintaining Your Unit

To keep your unit operating properly, periodically perform the following maintenance procedures:

· Inspect the pump for wear and leaks.
· Inspect all hoses for leaks or excessive wear. Make sure all hose clamps are in good condition and properly secured.
· Replace the filter located within the air regulator as needed. Clean by unthreading the air regulator bowl from the air regulator.

· Check the suction line and strainer for debris. Clean as needed.
· Drain your air compressor tank on a regular basis to help extend pump life. An air source with a high moisture content will accelerate pump wear.
Note: If your air source has a high moisture content, you may wish to install a water separator before the unit.

Servicing Your Unit

To service your unit, refer to the service manual which includes: · Troubleshooting procedures. · Detailed parts breakdowns and illustrations. · Part numbers of serviceable components and assemblies.
