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
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
(pre~surizable)
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
estc:Hica.
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
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 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.
