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 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' (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
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 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
7,5m
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
firmemen_~e
contra
ellado
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 conectado a tierra correctamente.
No
vuelva a usar
el
sistema
hasta que
el
problema haya sido resuelto.
MOTOR ELECTRICO:
Los motores
eh~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
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. '\
