GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper installation of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect
the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with
insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes
is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt
as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make sure that the
product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

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. Refer to PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described
in the pump manual.
•
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
