Instruction Sheet
Important Safety Instructions
Read all safety information before operating the
equipment. Save these instructions.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
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.
WARNING: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite. Property damage and/
or severe injury can occur.
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. Avoid creating sparks from
connecting and disconnecting power cords.
• For units intended for use with only water-based or mineral spirit-type
materials with a minimum flash point of 38ºC (100ºF) — Do not spray or
clean with liquids having a flash point of less than 38ºC (100ºF). Flash point
is the temperature at which a fluid can produce enough vapor to ignite.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint below 100ºF
(38ºC). Refer to your pump manual to determine if these materials can
be sprayed.
• 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 (MSDS) and container labels provided with the
paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvent manufacture's safety
instructions.
• 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.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to enclose spray area. Do
not use plastic drop cloths when spraying flammable material.
• Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
WARNING: INjEcTION INjuRy
A high pressure paint stream produced by this equipment can pierce
the skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation. See a physician immediately.
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.

High Pressure Spray Gun
• 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 3000 PSI / 207 Bar. Only use
replacement parts or accessories that are specified by the manufacturer
and that are rated a minimum of 3000 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. Refer to PRESSURE
RELIEF PROCEDURE described in the pump manual.
• 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: GENERAL
Can cause severe injury or property damage.
PREVENTION:
• Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, clothing and a respirator
or mask when painting.
• Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from equipment
at all times.
• Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep effective footing
and balance at all times.
• Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or
alcohol.
• Do not kink or over-bend the hose. Airless hose can develop leaks from
wear, kinking and abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin.
• Do not expose the hose to temperatures or pressures in excess of those
specified by manufacturer.
• Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the equipment.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
• Follow all appropriate local, state and national codes governing ventilation,
fire prevention and operation.
• The United States Government Safety Standards have been adopted
under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). These standards,
particularly part 1910 of the General Standards and part 1926 of the
Construction Standards should be consulted.
• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of cover.
Check for damage or movement of couplings. Immediately replace hose
if any of those conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace with a
conductive high-pressure hose.
• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
• Always unplug cord from outlet before working on equipment (electric
models only).
