1.4  Safety hazards. Titan Impact X 440 Service Manual, Impact X 440 | Manualzz

IMPACT X 440 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 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. 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 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.

Place pump at least 20 feet (6.1 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: 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.

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

100˚F (38˚C). 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

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 attempt to 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 highpressure hose.

Make sure power cord, air hose and spray hoses are routed in such a manner to minimize slip, trip and fall hazard.
