IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY hAzARDS
warning: EXPLOSiOn Or FirE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.
Severe injury and/or property damage can occur.
PrEVEnTiOn:
•
Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near
an open flame, pilot lights or sources of ignition such
as hot objects, cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment
and electrical appliances. Avoid creating sparks from
connecting and disconnecting power cords.
•
Do not spray or clean with liquids having a flash point of
less than 38ºC (100ºF). Flash point is the temperature at
which a fluid can produce enough vapor to ignite.
•
Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to
result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of
fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes.
All parts of the spray system, including the pump, hose
assembly, spray gun and objects in and around the spray
area shall be properly grounded to protect against static
discharge and sparks. Use only conductive or grounded
high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses specified by the
manufacturer.
•
Verify that all containers and collection systems are
grounded to prevent static discharge.
•
Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension
cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
•
Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide,
methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier
about compatibility of material with aluminum.
•
Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of
fresh air moving through the area to keep the air within the
spray area free from accumulation of flammable vapors.
Keep pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do not spray
pump assembly.
•
Do not smoke in the spray area.
•
Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark
producing products in the spray area.
•
Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers,
rags, and other flammable materials.
•
Know the contents of the paint and solvents being sprayed.
Read all material Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and container
labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the
paint and solvent manufacture’s safety instructions.
•
Place pump at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the spray object
in a well ventilated area (add more hose if necessary).
Flammable vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area
must be extremely well ventilated. The pump contains
arcing parts that emit sparks and can ignite vapors.
•
Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying flammable material.
•
Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
warning: injEcTiOn injury
A high pressure paint stream produced by this
equipment can pierce the skin and underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation. See a physician immediately.
PrEVEnTiOn:
•
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.
•
NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
•
ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip
guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning
device.
•
Only use a nozzle tip specified by the manufacturer.
•
Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In
the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying, ALWAYS
lock gun trigger, shut pump off, and release all pressure
before servicing, cleaning tip or guard, or changing tip.
Pressure will not be released by turning off the motor. The
PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must be turned
to their appropriate positions to relieve system pressure.
Refer to PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described in the
pump manual (page 9).
•
Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while
unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the unit and
relieve the pressure in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
•
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body
and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection
occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
•
Check hoses and parts for signs of damage, a leak can inject
material into the skin. Inspect hose before each use. Replace
any damaged hoses or parts. Only use TITAN original-high-
pressure hoses in order to ensure functionality, safety and
durability.
•
This system is capable of producing 1600 PSI / 11.1 MPa.
Only use replacement parts or accessories that are specified
by the manufacturer and that are rated a minimum of
1600 PSI. This includes spray tips, nozzle guards, guns,
extensions, fittings, and hose.
