Safety Precautions; Grounding Instructions - Titan ED655 Owner's Manual

Important Safety Information
This symbol indicates a hazardous situation,
which, if not not avoided could result in death or
serious injury.
a) To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical
shock and the injury to persons, read and understand
all instructions included in this manual. Be familiar
with the controls and proper usage of the equipment.

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.

b) WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or
explosion:
1. 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. Avoid creating
sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords.
2. For units intended for use with only water-based materials
— Do not spray or clean with flammable liquids. For use
with water-based liquids only.
3. For units intended for use with only water-based or mineral
spirit-type materials with a minimum flash point of 21ºC
(69.8ºF) — Do not spray or clean with liquids having a
flash point of less than 21ºC (69.8ºF). Flash point is the
temperature at which a fluid can produce enough vapor to
ignite.
4. 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
operating the equipment. SavE ThESE INSTRucTIONS.
·
Read all safety information before
discharge and sparks. Use only conductive or grounded
high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses specified by the
manufacturer.
5. Verify that all containers and collection systems are
grounded to prevent static discharge.
6. Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension
cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Do not smoke in the spray area.
10. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark
producing products in the spray area.
11. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers,
rags, and other flammable materials.
12. Know the contents of the paint and solvents being
sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
and container labels provided with the paints and solvents.
Follow the paint and solvent manufacture's safety
instructions.
13. Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) from the
spray object in a well ventilated area (add more hose if
necessary). Flammable vapors are often heavier than
air. Floor area must be extremely well ventilated. The
pump contains arcing parts that emit sparks and can ignite
vapors.
14. Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying flammable material.
15. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
c) waRNING - To reduce the risk of skin
injection:
1. Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or
animal.
2. Keep hands and other body parts away from the
discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any
part of the body.
3. Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without the
nozzle tip guard in place.
4. Only use a nozzle tip specified by the manufacturer.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
