Grounding
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and regulations.
• Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock.
• This product is for use on a nominal 230V circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated
below.
230 V
• Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
• Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
• Do not use an adapter with this product.
• When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either
power terminal.
• The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
• Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Extension Cords:
• Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a grounding plug and a grounding receptacle that accepts the
plug on the product.
• When using the sprayer outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
• Make sure your extension cord is not damaged.
• When using an extension cord, be sure to use a cord heavy enough to carry the current that your sprayer
draws. An undersized cord results in a drop in line voltage and loss of power and overheating. If an
extension cord is necessary use 12AWG (2.5 mm
Skin injection hazard
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that
injection occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.
• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any
part of the body.
• Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without nozzle tip guard in place.
• Use STORCH nozzle tips.
• Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying,
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit and relieving the pressure before removing the
nozzle tip to clean.
• Equipment maintains pressure after power is shut off. Do not leave the equipment energized or under
pressure while unattended. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when the equipment is unattended or not
in use, and before servicing, cleaning, or removing parts.
• Check hoses and parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged hoses or parts.
• This system is capable of producing 3300 psi (228 bar, 22.8 MPa). Use STORCH replacement parts or
accessories that are rated a minimum of 3300 psi (228 bar, 22.8 MPa).
• Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly.
• Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit.
• Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
