SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.

WARNING: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Flammable vapors, such as solvent and paint
vapors, in work area can ignite or explode.
PREVENTION:
•
Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near
an open flame, pilot lights or sources of ignition such
as hot objects, cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment
and electrical appliances.
connecting and disconnecting power cords.
•
Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint
below 100ºF (38ºC). Flashpoint is the temperature that a
fluid can produce enough vapors to ignite.
•
Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to
result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of
fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes.
All parts of the spray system, including the pump, hose
assembly, spray gun and objects in and around the spray
area shall be properly grounded to protect against static
discharge and sparks. Use only conductive or grounded
high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses specified by the
manufacturer.
•
Verify that all containers and collection systems are
grounded to prevent static discharge.
•
Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension
cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
•
Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide,
methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier
about compatibility of material with aluminum.
•
Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of
fresh air moving through the area to keep the air within the
spray area free from accumulation of flammable vapors.
Keep pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do not spray
pump assembly.
•
Do not smoke in the spray area.
•
Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark
producing products in the spray area.
•
Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers,
rags, and other flammable materials.
•
Know the contents of the paint and solvents being sprayed.
Read all material Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and container
labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the
paint and solvent manufacture's safety instructions.
