FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Static electricity is created by the high velocity of fluid through the pump, hose and tip. If every part of the spray element
is not properly grounded, sparking may occur and the system may become hazardous. Sparking may also occur when
plugging in or unplugging a power supply cord, or starting a gas engine. Sparks can ignite fumes from solvents or the
fluids being sprayed. Always plug the sprayer into an outlet at least 25' (7.5m) away from the spray area.
WARNING:
Always flush the unit into a separate metal container with the spray tip removed and the gun held firmly against
the side of the container to assure proper grounding and prevent static discharge which could cause serious
bodily injury.
If you experience any static sparking or slight shock while using this equipment, stop spraying immediately. Check the
entire system for proper grounding. Do not use the system again until the problem has been corrected.
ELECTRIC MOTOR
The electric motors used by TITAN are not explosion proof. Therefore, it is essential to keep the working area
around the pump well ventilated. Additionally, the pump itself should be a minimum of 25' (7.5m) from the spray
area.
WARNING:
Always keep pump outside of any enclosed spray area. Never clean the exterior of the pump
with any flammable solvents.
GAS ENGINE (Where Applicable)
Always keep pump outside of any enclosed spray area. Keep area around pump well ventilated. Keep all
solvents away from engine exhaust. (Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot. Fuel spilled on a
hot surface can ignite and cause a fire.) Always attach ground wire located on rear of engine to a grounded
object, i.e. water pipe. NOTE: Refer to engine owner's manual for additional safety and service information.
FLUID SECTION—SOLVENTS
Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents can cause an explosion when used with aluminum or galvanized components in a
closed (pressurized) fluid system (pumps, heaters, filters, valves, spray guns, tanks, etc.). The explosion could cause
serious injury, death and/or substantial property damage. Cleaning agents, coatings, paints, etc. may contain
Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents. Titan Tool Inc. spray equipment includes aluminum or galvanized components
and will be affected by Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents.
DO NOT USE HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS IN
TITAN EQUIPMENT.
EXPLANATION OF THE HAZARD
There are three key elements to the Halogenated Hydrocarbon (HHC) solvent hazard. These elements are:
1. The presence of HHC solvents.
2. Aluminum or galvanized parts.
3. Equipment capable of withstanding pressure.
When all three elements are present, the result can be an extremely violent explosion. The reaction can be sustained
with very little aluminum or galvanized metal: any amount of aluminum is too much. The reaction is unpredictable. Prior
use of an HHC solvent without incident (corrosion or explosion) does NOT mean that such use is safe.
PELIGRO DE INCENDIO O EXPLOSIÓN
La alta velocidad del líquido a través de la bomba, manguera y la boquilla produce electricidad estática. Si algún
componente del equipo de rociadura no está conectado a tierra correctamente pueden producirse chispas y el sistema
se vuelve peligroso. También pueden producirse chispas al enchufar o desenchufar cables eléctricos o al poner en
funcionamiento un motor a gasolina. Las chispas pueden encender los vapores provenientes de los solventes o de los
líquidos rociados. Siempre conecte el rociador a un enchufe ubicado a no menos de 7,5m de distancia de la zona de
rociadura.
ADVERTENCIA:
Lavar siempre la unidad en un recipiente metálico separado, habiendo quitado la
boca del rociador y teniendo la pistola firmemente contra el lado del recipiente para asegurar una puesta a tierra
correcta y evitar la descarga estática que podría causar lesión corporal grave.
Si ocurren chispas de electricidad estática o si sufre un shock eléctrico ligero mientras usa el equipo, deje de rociar de
immediato. Verifique que el sistema en su totalidad esté conectado a tierra correctamente. No vuelva a usar el sistema
hasta que el problema haya sido resuelto.
MOTOR ELÉCTRICO:
Los motores eléctricos utilizados por TITAN no son a prueba de explosión. Por lo tanto, es esencial mantener el
área de trabajo alrededor de la bomba bien ventilada. Además, la bomba misma debe estar a una distancia
minima de 7,5m del area de rociadura.
ADVERTENCIA:
Mantener siempre la bomba afuera de cualquier área de
rociadura cerrada. Nunca limpie el exterior de la bomba con solventes inflamables.
