FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Static electricity
is
created by
th~
high velocity of fluid through the pump, hose and tip. If every part
of
the
spray
element
is
not properly
groundE¥f,
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
aseparate
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 propergrounding. Do not use the system again until the problem has
been
corrected.
ELECTRIC MOTOR
Although
totally
enclosed, theelectric motorsused by TITAN are
not
explosion proof.Therefore,
it
is
essential to
keep the working
area
around thepump well ventilated.Additionally,
the
pump
itself
should be a
minimum
of
25'
from thespray area.
WARNING:
Always keep pumpoutside
of
anyenclosed spray area. Never clean
the
exteriorof
the pump
with
any flammable solvents, while the pump is plugged in
or
operating.
GAS ENGINE (Where Applicable)
Always
keep
pump
outside
of
any
enclosed spray area. Keep area
around
pump
well
ventlllated.
Keep all
solvents
away
from
engineexhaust. (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
owners
manual
for
additional
safety
and
service
Information.
FLUID SECTION
Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents can cause an explosion when used with aluminum or galvinized 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,
coat_!Dg.s,
paints, etc., may contain Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents.
~~
\ I
Titan
Tool
Inc. spray equipment includes aluminum or galvinized components and will be affected by
Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents.
(_)
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
sus-
tained 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.
