SAFETY HAZARDS

WARNING: INJECTION INJURY
A high pressure stream produced by this
equipment can pierce the skin and underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation.
Do not treat a spraying injury as a harmless cut. In
case of injury to the skin through coating materials
or solvents, consult a doctor immediately for
quick and expert treatment. Inform the doctor
about the coating material or solvent used.
PREVENTION:
•
Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
•
Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge.
For example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the
body.
•
NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
•
ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip
guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning
device.
•
Only use a nozzle tip specified by the manufacturer.
•
Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In
the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying, ALWAYS
lock gun trigger, shut pump off, and release all pressure
before servicing, cleaning tip or guard, or changing tip.
Pressure will not be released by turning off the motor. The
PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must be turned
to their appropriate positions to relieve system pressure.
•
Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while
unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the unit and
relieve the pressure in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
•
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body
and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection
occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
•
Check hoses and parts for signs of damage, a leak can inject
material into the skin. Inspect hose before each use. Replace
any damaged hoses or parts. Only use TITAN original-high-
pressure hoses in order to ensure functionality, safety and
durability.
•
This system is capable of producing 3300 PSI / 228 Bar. Only
use replacement parts or accessories that are specified by
the manufacturer and that are rated a minimum of 3300 PSI.
This includes spray tips, nozzle guards, guns, extensions,
fittings, and hose.
•
Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify
the trigger lock is functioning properly.
•
Verify that all connections are secure before operating the
unit.
•
Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls. Pressure will not be
released by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve
or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate
positions to relieve system pressure.
•
Always remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning
the system.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Injection into the skin is
a traumatic injury which can lead to possible
amputation. It is important to treat the injury
as soon as possible. DO NOT delay treatment
to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with
some coatings injected directly into the blood
stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or
reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.
WARNING: HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
The paint hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking and abuse. A leak can inject material into
the skin. Inspect the hose before each use.
PREVENTION:
•
Avoid sharp bending or kinking of the high-pressure hose.
The smallest bending radius amounts to about 8" (20 cm).
•
Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against
sharp objects and edges.
•
Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately.
•
Never repair damaged high-pressure hoses yourself!
•
Electrostatic charging of spray guns and the high-pressure
hose is discharged through the high-pressure hose. For this
reason the electric resistance between the connections of
the high-pressure hose must be equal to or lower than
1MΩ.
•
For reasons of function, safety and durability use only
original Titan high-pressure hoses.
•
Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion
or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of
couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these
conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with
another earthed high-pressure hose.
•
Make sure power cord, air hose and spray hoses are routed
in such a manner to minimize slip, trip and fall hazard.
