WARNING
This pump is designed to be used only in pumping
non-corrosive and non-abrasive oils and lubricants.
Any other use of the pump can cause unsafe oper-
ating conditions and component rupture, which can
result in fluid injection, other serious injury, or fire or
explosion.

WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Fluid from the valve, leaks, or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause ex-
tremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin can
also cause serious injury.
D Fluid injected into the skin is a serious injury. The injury may look like just a cut, but it is a serious
injury. Get immediate surgical treatment.
D Do not point the dispensing valve at anyone or any part of the body.
D Do not put your hand or fingers over the end of the dispensing valve.
D Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8 before you clean, check, or service the
equipment.
D Use only extensions and nozzles that are designed for use with your dispensing valve.
D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Do not
repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.
D Keep clear of all moving parts when starting or operating the pump.
D Before checking or servicing the equipment, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8 to
prevent the equipment from starting unexpectedly.
308777H 3
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and re-
sult in a fire or explosion and serious injury.
D Ground the equipment and the object being dispensed to. See Grounding on page 6.
D If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop dis-
pensing immediately. Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
D Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid
being dispensed.
D Keep the dispensing area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
D Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local,
state and national guidelines.
D Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and
solvent manufacturer.
D The air motor exhausts any fluids added to the input air.
D Graco does not manufacture or supply the reactive chemical components that may be used in this
equipment and is not responsible for injury or property loss, damage, expense or claims (direct or
consequential) that arise from the use of such chemical components.
