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 1 )
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.
PELIGRO DE INCENDIO 0 EXPLOSION
La
alta velocidad del lfquido 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 metalico separado,
habiendo
quitado
Ia
boca
del
rociador
y teniendo Ia pistola firmemente contra
ellado
del recipiente para asegurar
una
puesta a tierra
correcta y
evitar
Ia descarga estatica que
podrla
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 conectado a tierra correctamente. No vuelva a usar
el
sistema
hasta que
el
problema haya sido resuelto.
MOTOR ELECTRICO:
Los
motores
ell~ctricos
utilizados
por
TITAN
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.
