Information
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.
a) To reduce the risks of re 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 at 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 qualied 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 t the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualied 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 conguration as the plug. No adapter
should be used with this product.

b) WARNING - To reduce the risk of re or explosion:
1. Do not spray ammable or combustible materials
near an open ame, 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. Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided to keep the air
within the spray area free from accumulation of ammable vapors.
3. Turbine contains sparking parts. Turbine must be placed in a well
ventilated area at maximum distance from the spray area.
4. For use with only water-based or mineral spirit-type materials with
a minimum ash point of 21ºC (70º F) — Do not spray or clean with
liquids having a ash point of less than 21ºC (70º F). Flash point is the
temperature at which a uid can produce enough vapor to ignite.
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 ammable vapors. Keep turbine assembly in well
ventilated area. Do not the spray turbine 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
ammable 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. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
c) WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury:
1. Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, clothing and a
respirator or mask when painting. Hazardous vapors – Paints, solvents,
insecticides, and other materials can be harmful if inhaled or come
in contact with body. Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting or
poisoning.
2. Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from
equipment at all times.
3. Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep eective
footing and balance at all times.
4. Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
5. Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the inuence of drugs
or alcohol.
6. Never aim spray gun at any part of the body.
7. Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes governing
ventilation, re prevention, and operation.
8. 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.
9. Use only manufacturer authorized replacement parts. User assumes
all risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the minimum
specications and safety devices of the manufacturer.
10. Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.
11. Use only recommended Titan FlexSpray components.
12. Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
13. The turbine housing and hose may become hot and cause skin burn.
Use the carrying handle whenever transporting unit.
d) WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock:
1. Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.
2. Never submerge electrical parts, including the spray gun with
air hose.
3. Never expose the equipment to rain. Store indoors.
4. Keep electrical cord plug and spray gun trigger free from paint and
other liquids. Never hold the cord at plug connections to support the
cord. Failure to observe may result in an electrical shock.
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 gauge or 12 gauge cord is recommended. If an extension
cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the sux 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.
