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' 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
TIT AN 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'
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 (pressurizable) 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.

PELI
RO
DE
INCENDIO
EXPL Sl N
La
alta velocidad dellfquido a traves
de
Ia
bomba, manguera y
Ia
boquilla produce electricidad estatica. Si algun
componente del equipo de rociadura
no
esta conectado a tierra correctamente pueden producirse chispas y
el
sistema
se
vuelve peligroso. Tambien pueden producirse chispas
al
enchufar o desenchufar cables electricos o
al
poner en
funcionamiento un motor a gasolina.
Las
chispas pueden encender los vapores provenientes
de
los solventes o
de
los
lfquidos rociados. Siempre conecte
el
rociador a
un
enchufe ubicado a
no
menos
de
25 pies
de
distancia de
Ia
zona
de
rociadura. ADVERTENCIA: Lavar siempre
Ia
unidad en un recipiente metil.ico separado, habiendo
quitado
Ia
boca del
rociador
y teniendo Ia pistola firmemente contra el lado del recipiente para asegurar
una
puesta a tierra
correcta y
evitar
Ia descarga estatica que podrfa causar lesion corporal grave.
Si
ocurren chispas
de
electricidad estatica o
si
sufre
un
shock electrico ligero mientras usa
el
equipo, deje de rociar
de
immediate. Verifique que
el
sistema
en
su
totalidad este
c~mectado
a tierra correctamente. No vuelva a usar
el
sistema
hasta que
el
problema haya sido resuelto.
MOTOR ELECTRICO:
Los
motores
eh~ctricos
utilizados
por
TIT
AN
no
son
a prueba de explosion.
Por
lo
tanto, es esencial mantener el
area de trabajo alrededor de
Ia
bomba bien ventilada. Ademas, Ia bomba
misma
debe estar a
una
distancia
minima
de
25
pies {7.5 m) del area de rociadura. ADVERTENCIA: Mantener
siempre
Ia bomba afuera
de
cualquier area
de
rociadura cerrada. Nunca limpie el exterior de Ia bomba
con
solventes
inflamables.
