Explanation of symbols used

This manual contains information that must be read and understood 

before using the equipment. When you come to an area that has one 

of the following symbols, pay particular attention and make certain 

to heed the safeguard.

This symbol indicates a potential hazard that 

may cause serious injury or loss of life. Important 

safety information will follow.

Attention

This symbol indicates a potential hazard to you 

or to the equipment.  Important information that 

tells how to prevent damage to the equipment or 

how to avoid causes of minor injuries will follow.

Danger of skin injection

Danger of fire from solvent and paint fumes

Danger of explosion from solvent, paint fumes 

and incompatible materials

Danger of injury from inhalation of harmful 

vapors

i

Notes give important information which should 

be given special attention.

HAZARD:  INjECTION INjURy

Attention: Danger of injury by injection! 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:
 

•  NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body. 

•  NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream. 

DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the fluid hose.

•  NEVER put your hand in front of the gun.  Gloves will not 

provide protection against an injection injury.

•  ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the fluid pump off and 

release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip guard, 

changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be 

released by turning off the engine. The PRIME/SPRAY valve 

or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate 

positions to relieve system pressure.

•  ALWAYS keep tip guard in place while spraying. The tip guard 

provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.

•  ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the 

system.

•  NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and 

trigger guard in place.

•  All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum 

operating pressure range of the sprayer.  This includes spray 

tips, guns, extensions, and hose.

HAZARD:  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:
 

•  High-pressure hoses must be checked thoroughly before they 

are used.

•  Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately.

•  Never repair defective high-pressure hoses yourself!

•  Avoid sharp bends and folds: the smallest bending radius is 

about 20 cm.

•  Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against 

sharp objects and edges.

•  Never pull on the high-pressure hose to move the device.

•  Do not twist the high-pressure hose.

•  Do not put the high-pressure hose into solvents. Use only a 

wet cloth to wipe down the outside of the hose.

•  Lay the high-pressure hose in such a way as to ensure that it 

cannot be tripped over.

i

Only use Titan original-high-pressure hoses in order 

to ensure functionality, safety and durability.

HAZARD:  EXPLOSION OR FIRE

Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.  

Severe injury and/or property damage can occur.

PREVENTION:
 

•  Do not use materials with a flashpoint below 38° C (100° F). 

Flashpoint is the temperature at which a fluid can produce 

enough vapors to ignite.

•  Do not use the unit in work places which are covered by the 

explosion protection regulations.

•  Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to 

keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of 

flammable vapors.

•  Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks, 

electrical appliances, flames, pilot lights, hot objects, and 

sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or 

working light switches.

•  Do not smoke in spray area.

•  Place sprayer sufficient distance 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. 

•  The equipment and objects in and around the spray area must 

be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.

•   Use only conductive or earthed high pressure fluid hose.  Gun 

must be earthed through hose connections.

•   Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit (electric 

units only).

•  Always flush unit into separate metal container, at low pump 

pressure, with spray tip removed.  Hold gun firmly against side 

of container to ground container and prevent static sparks.
