12. Always shut off air pressure at
S
source and bleed off all pressure in
H
paint tank by gently pulling safety
valve ring before loosening knobs.
13. Regularly check to be sure gauge
and regulator are functioning
correctly. Also check that no paint
or other deposits are in the safety
valve inlet. In the event more than
50 psi is applied to the tank and the
safety valve is clogged, the higher
pressure could damage the tank or
result in injury.
Do not
spray
flammable materials in
vicinity of open flame or near
ignition sources including the
compressor unit.
14. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
15. Use a face mask/
respirator when spraying
and spray in a well
ventilated area to
prevent health and fire hazards.
16. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to minimize
overspray accumulation on the
compressor.
17. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
