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 r
'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
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'
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
pr~ssure.
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 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
metalico
separado,
habiendo
quitado
Ia
boca
del rociador y teniendo Ia
pistola
firmemeote
contra
ellado
del recipiente para asegurar
una
puesta a tierra
· correcta y evitar Ia descarga estcitica
que
podria
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
imr:nediato. 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
electricos
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.
