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 flat 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 qualified 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 fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified 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 configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

NOTE: More than 100 feet of extension cord is not recommended. Use more paint hose, not more extension cord. Shorter extension cords will assure maximum electrical power for proper operation.

WARNING: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite. Property damage and/or severe injury can occur.

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 100ºF (38ºC). 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 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.
• Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
• 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 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 25 feet (7.62 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: INJECTION INJURY
A high pressure paint stream produced by this equipment can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation. See a physician immediately.

PREVENTION:

• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the body.
• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.
• Only use a nozzle tip specified by the manufacturer.
• Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying, ALWAYS lock gun trigger, shut pump off, and release all  pressure before servicing, cleaning tip or guard, or changing tip. 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.
• 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 2800 PSI / 193 Bar. Only use replacement parts or accessories that are specified by the manufacturer and that are rated a minimum of 2800 PSI. This includes spray tips, nozzle guards, guns, extensions, fittings, and hose.
• 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.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VAPORS
Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials can be harmful if inhaled or come in contact with the body. Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.

PREVENTION:

• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be inhaled. Read all instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will provide the necessary protection.
• Wear protective eyewear.
• Wear protective clothing as required by coating manufacturer.

1. Place the suction set into a container of paint.

2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the minimum pressure setting.
   IMPORTANT: Always reduce the pressure to zero by triggering the spray gun before changing the position of the PRIME/SPRAY valve. Failure to do so may cause  damage to the paint pump diaphragm.

3. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME

4. Move the pump ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

5. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to between half and full pressure. Let the unit prime 1 to 2 minutes after paint begins to flow through the return hose until no  bubbles are present.

6. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the minimum pressure setting.

7. Move the pump ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
   IMPORTANT: If the pressure control knob is reduced to zero and the PRIME/SPRAY valve is still on SPRAY while the pump is operating, there will be high pressure  in the hose and spray gun until the PRIME/SPRAY valve is turned to PRIME or until the spray gun is triggered to relieve the pressure.

Painting
The Air Coat spray system has two different painting modes. The Air Coat mode is used for fine finish work with low to medium viscosity materials (oil, stains, lacquers, etc…).  The airless mode is used for general painting with high viscosity materials (latex).
Painting in Air Coat Mode
Use the Air Coat mode for low-pressure fine finish work (recommended pump pressure up to 1000 PSI).

1. Make sure that the airless spray hose is free of kinks and clear of objects with sharp cutting edges.
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting.
3. Turn the compressor air pressure regulator counterclockwise to its lowest setting.
4. Move the compressor ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
5. Move the pump ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
6. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to SPRAY.
7. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise until the material pressure gauge reads 400 PSI. The paint hose should stiffen as paint begins to flow through it.
8. Turn the air pressure regulator clockwise until the air pressure gauge reads 20 PSI.
9. Unlock the spray gun trigger.
10. Trigger the spray gun to bleed air out of the material hose.
11. When material reaches the spray tip, spray a test area to check the spray pattern.
12. Adjust the spray pattern to the desired size and atomization.
    a. Use the pressure control knob to control the flow of paint to the gun.
    b. Use the air pressure regulator to control the amount of atomization air available to the gun.
    c. Use the pattern adjustment knob on the gun to fine tune the spray pattern.
    NOTE: Refer to the spray gun Owner’s Manual for information on the operation of the gun.

Painting in Airless Mode
Use the airless mode for general high-pressure spraying (pump pressure from 500 to 2800 PSI).

1. Make sure that the airless spray hose is free of kinks and clear of objects with sharp cutting edges.
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting.
3. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to SPRAY.
4. Move the pump ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
5. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its highest setting. The paint hose should stiffen as paint begins to flow through it.
6. Unlock the spray gun trigger.
7. Trigger the spray gun to bleed air out of the material hose.
8. When material reaches the spray tip, spray a test area to check the spray pattern.
9. Use the lowest pressure setting necessary to get a good spray pattern. If the pressure is set too high, the spray pattern will be too light. If the pressure is set too low,  tailing will appear or the paint will spatter out in “gobs” rather than in a fine spray.

Pressure Relief Procedure
Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure when shutting the unit down for any purpose, including servicing or adjusting any part of the spray system, changing or  cleaning spray tips, or preparing for cleanup.

1. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the PRIME position.
3. Trigger the gun to remove any pressure that still may be in the hose.
4. Lock the gun by flipping the trigger lock into lock position (see spray gun manual).

Injection hazard. Do not spray without the tip guard in place. NEVER trigger the gun unless the tip is completely turned to either the spray or the unclog position. ALWAYS  engage the gun trigger lock before removing, replacing or cleaning tip.

Spraying Technique

The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire surface.
This is done by using even strokes. Keep your arm moving at a constant speed and keep the spray gun at a constant distance from the surface. The best spraying distance is 10  to 12 inches between the spray tip and the surface.

Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means moving your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing your wrist. Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one end of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
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.

Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an even coating.
When you stop painting, lock the gun trigger lock, turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting and set the priming knob to PRIME. Turn the motor switch to OFF and unplug the sprayer.
If you expect to be gone more than 1 hour, follow the short term clean up procedure described in the Cleanup section of this manual.

Maintenance

Follow these procedures when encountering problems indicated in the troubleshooting section.
Removing and Cleaning the Inlet Valve

1. Perform the Pressure Relief Procedure, turn off and unplug the unit.

2. Remove the inlet valve assembly using a 27 millimeter socket or box end wrench.

3. Test movement of the valve by pushing on it from the open end of the valve housing with a screwdriver or the eraser end of a pencil. It should move about 1/16 of an  inch. If it does not move, it should be cleaned or replaced.
   NOTE: The inlet valve must be oiled after every job. This will reduce or eliminate priming problems the next time the unit is used as well as extend the life of the valve.

4. Thoroughly clean the valve assembly with water or the appropriate solvent. Use a small brush.

5.  If the valve has been properly cleaned and water drips out of the bottom, the valve is worn and needs to be replaced. A properly seated valve filled with water and held  vertically will not drip.

6. Install a new or cleaned valve in the pump block and then fill the valve with light oil or solvent.

Removing and Cleaning the Outlet Valve
It may be necessary to remove and clean the outlet valve or to replace parts inside the valve worn out through normal use.

1. Remove the outlet valve nut with a wrench.

2. Remove and clean the ball stop and small spring inside the valve using a wire hook or tweezers. Replace the spring if it is broken or worn.
   NOTE: This spring is manufactured to a very specific tension. Do not stretch the spring. Do not put in an unauthorized substitute. See the paint pump assembly parts  diagram for the proper replacement part number.

3. Remove the seat and ball assembly.

4. Clean all parts thoroughly. If the ball or seat show any sign of wear or damage, replace them with new parts. This carbide ball must seal tightly against its seat for the  valve to function properly.

5. Cover all parts with a thin coat of light oil before reassembling.

6. Drop in the valve ball.

7. Insert the protector and spring and replace the valve body. Be sure that the O-ring is positioned properly and that the tongue on the cap fits inside the spring.

8. Tighten the valve body securely with an adjustable wrench. Do not over-tighten.

NOTE: Wear on the ball is almost impossible to detect visually. To test for a worn outlet valve assembly, turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its highest setting and  run water only through the pump for 10 to 15 minutes without triggering the gun.
If the valve is defective, the end cap will get very hot to the touch. If it is functioning properly, it will stay approximately the same temperature as the water running through it.
