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.

IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug
and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. A 14 or 12 gauge cord is recommended (see
chart). If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked
with the suffix W-A after the cord type designation. For example,
a designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would be
appropriate for outdoor use.

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
manufacturer and that are rated a minimum of 3300 PSI. This includes
spray tips, nozzle guards, guns, extensions, fittings, and hoses.
•
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: 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.
Avoid creating sparks from 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.
•
Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons,
such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide, methylene chloride and
