Operation

4. Operation
This equipment produces a fluid stream at extremely
high pressure. Read and understand the warnings
in the Safety Precautions section at the front of this
manual before operating this equipment.
4.1

Setup

1. Make sure the siphon hose (fig. 4, 1) is connected to the fluid
section (2) and the bleed hose (3) is connected to the bleed
valve (4). They each have factory installed PTFE tape on the
male end of the hoses and should be wrench tight.

2. Attach a minimum of 15m of nylon airless spray hose to the
sprayer. Do not use PTFE tape or thread sealant on the spray
hose connection.
3. Attach an airless spray gun to the spray hose. Do not attach
the tip to the spray gun yet. Remove the tip if it is already
attached.
a. To use two guns, remove the plug from the second gun outlet
on the filter assembly. Connect a hose and gun to the outlet.
For multiple gun operation, connect a multiple gun
i
manifold to the single gun outlet. Connect a hose
and gun to each outlet. Make sure the second gun
outlet remains plugged. See "Technical Data",
Section 3.5 to determine number of guns and
maximum spray tip sizes.
4. Fill the oil cup 1/2 full with Piston Lube (P/N 314-480). This
extends packing life.
GB
Piston Lube prevents increased wear and tear to the
packings.
Attention
5. Check the hydraulic fluid level daily before starting the
sprayer. The hydraulic fluid level should be at the "Full" mark
on the dipstick. Refer to the Maintenance section of this
manual for hydraulic system maintenance instructions.
Use of Titan's Coolflo™ Hydraulic Fluid (P/N 430-361)
is mandatory in the hydraulic system. Do not use
any other hydraulic fluid. Use of any other hydraulic
fluid may seriously damage the hydraulic system
Attention
and will void the warranty.
6. For gas models, check the engine oil level daily before starting
the sprayer. The gasoline engine oil level is determined by
the engine manufacturer. Refer to the engine manufacturer's
service manual supplied with this sprayer.
7. For electric models, use a 20 amp service outlet. Always
locate the electric model within 10 to 15 feet of the service
outlet. Use a short electric cable and a long paint hose. Any
extension cord will create some voltage drop. If an extension
cord is necessary, use only a grounded 3-wire #12 extension
cord.
8. Make sure the sprayer is earthed. All sprayers are equipped
with a earthing lug. An earthing cable (not supplied) should
be used to connect the sprayer to a true earth ground.
Check your local electrical regulations for detailed earthing
instructions.
Proper earthing is important. This applies to both
gas and electric powered models. The passage of
some materials through the nylon fluid hose will
build up a static electric charge, which if discharged,
could ignite solvent vapors present and create an
explosion.
9. Strain all paints with a nylon strainer to ensure trouble free
operation and freedom from frequent cleaning of the inlet
screen and gun filter.
10. Make sure the spray area is well ventilated to prevent
hazardous operation with volatile solvents or exhaust fumes.
If lacquer or other flammable materials are to be
sprayed, ALWAYS locate the sprayer outside the
immediate spraying area. Failure to do so may cause
an explosion.
11. Locate the sprayer outside the immediate spraying area to
avoid clogged air intake of the engine or electric motor with
overspray.
