A SIMPLE CUT. Inform your doctor
specifically of what fluid was injected.
AVOID STATIC SPARKING
Static electricity charge builds up by high
velocity liquid flowing through a hose during
flushing, cleaning, or spraying operations.
Proper grounding of the airless system safely
dissipates this charge.
All high pressure airless systems must be
grounded to avoid dangerous static sparking,
explosion, or fire when spraying or flushing

CAUTION
!
Never store de-ionized, distilled, reverse
osmosis or any pure grade of water in the
pump. These fluids may cause corrosion.
NOTE
BINKS is not responsible for misapplication
of Comet pumps. Consult your BINKS
representative for application assistance.
NOTE
Important installation, operation or
maintenance information.
NOTE
Be sure that all fluids, solvents and fillers
to be used are chemically and physically
compatible with wetted parts in the Comet
pump. Consult your BINKS representative
for Comet pump materials of constructions
and compatibility information. Consult
the fluid manufacture for information
regarding the fluids to be used.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
The pump is designed to use authorized parts
only. When using this pump with parts that do
not comply with the minimum specifications
and safety devices of Binks, the user assumes
all risks and liabilities.
Air Operated Pumps
AIR AND LUBE REQUIREMENTS
1. Filtered and oiled air will allow the pump to
operate more efficiently and yield a longer life
to operating parts and mechanisms.
2. Use the 41-17235 air control to control the
pump cycle rate. This will help to prolong the
life of the pump.
3. Supply the air lubricator with 863020 oil and
set the lubricator to a rate not to exceed one
drop per 30 cycles. Do not over-lubricate.
Over-lubrication may cause secondary
contamination to the solvent cup.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
1. Store in a dry place; do not remove product
from box during storage.
2. Do not remove protection caps from inlet and
outlet prior to installation.
3. Do not drop or damage box; handle with care.
WARNING
!
EXCESSIVE AIR PRESSURE
Can cause personal injury, pump damage
or property damage. Do not exceed
maximum inlet air pressure as stated on
motor model plate.
