Practice; Clearing The Spray Tip - Titan IMPACT 340 Notice D'utilisation

The spray gun should be triggered by turning it on and off with each
stroke. This will save paint and avoid paint buildup at the end of the
stroke. Do not trigger the gun during the middle of a stroke. This will
result in an uneven spray and splotchy coverage.
Proper way to trigger the spray gun
Keep stroke
even
Start stroke Pull trigger Keep steady
Overlap each stroke by about 50%. This will ensure an even coating.
50% Overlap
When you stop painting, lock the gun trigger lock, turn the pressure
control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting and set the
PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position and unplug the sprayer.

Practice

1. Be sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of objects
with sharp cutting edges.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure control
knob fully counterclockwise.
3. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to its SPRAY position.
4. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its highest
setting. The paint hose should stiffen as paint begins to flow
through it.
5. Unlock the gun trigger lock.
6. Trigger the spray gun to bleed air out of the hose.
7. When paint reaches the spray tip,
spray a test area to check the spray
pattern.
8. Use the lowest pressure setting
necessary to get a good spray
pattern. If the pressure is set too
low, tailing will appear or the paint
will spatter out in gobs rather than
in a fine spray.
NOTE: Turning the pressure up higher than needed to
atomize the paint will cause premature tip wear and
additional overspray.

section of this manual.
2. If the tip clogs, rotate the tip
handle 180º until the arrow on the
handle is facing the opposite of
the spray direction and the handle
stops in the reverse position.
3. Trigger the gun once into a waste
container so that the pressure
can blow the clog out. NEVER use
the tip in the reverse position for
more than ONE trigger pull at a time. This procedure can be
repeated until the tip is free of clogging.
