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. IMPORTANT: When the sprayer is used with a generator or uncontrolled line voltage, the use of Titan’s “Line Surge Protector” (P/N 800-935) is recommended.
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 ell 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 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) 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  nattended. 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 3300 PSI / 228 Bar. Only use replacement parts or accessories that are specified by the5 manufacturer and that are rated a minimum of 3300 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.

14. Turn off the sprayer.

15.  Attach tip guard and tip to the gun as instructed by the tip guard or tip manuals.
    POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD. Do not spray without the tip guard in place. Never trigger the gun unless the tip is in either the spray or the unclog position. Always engage the gun trigger lock before removing, replacing or cleaning tip.

16. Turn on the sprayer.

17.  Increase the pressure by turning the pressure control knob slowly clockwise and test the spray pattern on a piece of cardboard. Adjust the pressure control knob until the spray from the gun is completely atomized. Try to keep the pressure control knob at the lowest setting that maintains good atomization.

NOTE: Turning the pressure up higher than needed to atomize the paint will cause premature tip wear and additional overspray.
Control Panel Indicators
The following is a description of the control panel indicators.

Pressure Indicator
The pressure indicator shows the current operating pressure of the sprayer. It has three different indications: blinking yellow, solid ellow, and solid green.
Blinking Yellow
When the pressure indicator is blinking yellow, the sprayer is operating between 0 and 200 PSI. A blinking yellow pressure indicator means:

• The sprayer is plugged in and turned “ON”
• The sprayer is at priming pressure (little or no pressure)
• It is safe to move the PRIME/SPRAY valve between positions
• It is safe to change or replace the spray tip

NOTE: If the pressure indicator begins blinking yellow when the pressure control knob is set at a higher pressure and the PRIME/SPRAY valve is in the SPRAY position, either the spray tip is worn or the sprayer is in need of service/repair.
Solid Yellow
When the pressure indicator is solid yellow, the sprayer is operating between 201 and 1900 PSI. A solid yellow pressure indicator means:

• The sprayer is at the proper pressure setting for spraying stain, lacquer, varnish, and multi-colors
• If the pressure indicator goes to solid yellow when the pressure is set so that it starts at solid green, it indicates one of the following:
  a. Tip Wear Indicator — when spraying with latex or at high pressure the solid yellow appears. This means the tip is worn and needs to be replaced.
  b. Tip Too Large — when a tip that is too large for the sprayer is put in the gun, the pressure indicator will turn from solid green to solid yellow.
  c. Fluid Section Wear — if a solid yellow pressure indicator appears when using a new tip and the pressure is set at maximum, service may be required (worn packings, worn piston, stuck valve, etc…).

Solid Green
When the pressure indicator is solid green, the sprayer is operating between 1901 and 3300 PSI. A solid green pressure indicator means:

• The sprayer is at the proper pressure setting for spraying oil- based and latex house paints
•  The sprayer is operating at peak performance at a high pressure setting

Motor Running Indicator
The Motor Running indicator is on when the motor is commanded to run. This indicator is used by service centers to troubleshoot motor problems.
NOTE: If the motor running and pressure indicators blink alternately, it means the motor has overheated. Turn pump OFF and allow to cool.
Spraying
POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD. Do not spray without the tip guard in place. Never trigger the gun unless the tip is in 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 50%. 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 PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and unplug the sprayer.
Practice

1. Make sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of objects with sharp cutting edges.
2. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure control knob to the “Min” setting in the yellow zone.
3.  Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to its SPRAY position.
4.  Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its highest setting in the green zone. 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 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.

Clearing the Spray Tip

NOTE: If your spray pattern becomes distorted or stops completely during spraying, follow these steps.
The flow from the spray tip is at very high pressure. Contact with any body part may be dangerous. Do not place finger on gun outlet. Do not point the gun at any person. Never operate the spray gun without the proper tip guard.

1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the Operation 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.

NOTE: If spray pattern is still distorted, the gun filter or pump filter could be clogged. See replacement instructions on next page. The inlet screen at the bottom of the suction tube should also be checked.
Cleanup
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable solvents:

• Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one hose length from spray pump.
•  If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal container, place it into an empty five gallon container, then flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.

IMPORTANT: The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned thoroughly after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to build up, seriously affecting the performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum pressure with the gun nozzle tip removed when using mineral spirits or any other solvent to clean the sprayer, hose, or gun. Static electricity buildup may result in a fire or explosion in the presence of flammable vapors.

1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the Operation section of this manual.

2. Remove the gun tip and tip guard and clean with a brush using the appropriate solvent.

3.  Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate solvent. Examples of the appropriate solvent are water for latex paint or mineral spirits for oil-based paints.

4. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.

5. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to its PRIME position.
   NOTE: Hold the return hose in the waste container when moving the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME in case the sprayer is pressurized.

6. Set the pressure to RAPID CLEAN by turning the pressure control knob to its RAPID CLEAN position.

7. Turn on the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

8. Allow the solvent to circulate through the unit and flush the paint out of the return hose into the metal waste container.

9. Turn off the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.

10. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to its SPRAY position.

11. Turn on the sprayer.
    Ground the gun by holding it against the edge of the metal container while flushing. Failure to do so may lead to a static electric discharge, which may cause a fire.

12.  Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until the paint is flushed out of the hose and solvent is coming out of the gun.

13. Continue to trigger the spray gun into the waste container until the solvent coming out of the gun is clean.
    NOTE: For long-term or cold weather storage, pump mineral sprits through the entire system.
    For short-term storage when using latex paint, pump water mixed with Titan Liquid Shield through the entire system (see the Accessories section of this manual for part number).

Use the following procedures to service the valves and repack the fluid section. Perform the following steps before performing any maintenance on the fluid section.

1. Loosen and remove the four front cover screws. Remove the front cover.

2. Stop the sprayer at the bottom of its stroke so that the piston is in its lowest position.

3. Turn the pump off and unplug the unit.
   Before proceeding, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure outlined previously in this manual.
   Additionally, follow all other warnings to reduce the risk of an injection injury, injury from moving parts or electric shock. Always unplug the sprayer before servicing!

4. Remove the return hose from the clamp on the siphon tube.

5. Unscrew the siphon tube/siphon set from the foot valve.

6. Loosen and remove the high-pressure hose from the nipple on the back of the upper housing of the fluid section.

Servicing the Valves
The design of the fluid section allows access to the foot valve and seat as well as the outlet valve and seat without completely disassembling the fluid section. It is possible that the valves may not seat properly because of debris stuck in the foot valve seat or outlet valve seat.
Use the following instructions to clean the valves and reverse or replace the seats.

1. Loosen and remove the foot valve housing from the lower housing.

2. Clean out any debris in the foot valve housing and examine the housing and the foot valve seat. If the seat is damaged, reverse or replace the seat.

3. Using two wrenches, hold the upper housing at the wrench flats with one wrench and loosen the lower housing with the other. Remove the lower housing.

4. Using a 3/8” hex wrench, loosen and remove the outlet valve retainer from the piston rod.
   NOTE: Always service the outlet valve with the piston rod attached to the pump. This will prevent the piston rod from rotating during disassembly of the outlet valve.

5. Clean out any debris and examine the retainer and outlet valve seat.
   If the seat is damaged, reverse or replace the seat.

6. Remove, clean, and inspect the outlet valve cage and outlet valve ball. Replace if they are worn or damaged.

7. Reassemble the valves by reversing the steps above.

NOTE: During reassembly, make sure the Viton o-rings and the PTFE back-up rings between the upper housing and lower housing as well as between the lower housing and the foot valve housing are lubricated with grease and in position.
Repacking the Fluid Section

1. Remove the foot valve assembly and the lower housing using the steps in the “Servicing the Valves” procedure above.
   NOTE: The outlet valve does not need to be disassembled from the piston rod for this procedure.

2. Loosen and remove the two nuts and washers (1) from underneath the sprayer. Remove the fluid section retainer (2). This will unclamp the entire fluid section (3).

3. Slide the fluid section forward to remove it from the gear housing.

4. Place the upper housing upright in a vise by clamping on the wrench flats.
   NOTE: Do not over-tighten the vise. Damage to the upper housing may occur.

5. Using a wrench, remove the upper seal retainer.

6. Slide the piston rod forward until the piston is out of the T-slot on the slider assembly.

7. Pull the piston out through the bottom of the upper housing.

8. Inspect the piston rod for wear and replace if necessary.

9. Remove the upper and lower packings from the upper housing.
   NOTE: Be careful not to scratch, score, or otherwise damage the upper housing during removal of the packings.

10. Clean the upper housing.
    Inspect the upper housing for damage and replace if necessary.

11. Locate the new upper and lower packings and pack the areas between the packing lips with grease. Lubricate the o-rings on the exterior of the packings with grease.

12. Insert the upper packing into the top of the upper housing with the raised lip on the packing facing down.

13. Insert the spacer on top of the upper packing.

14. Thread the upper seal retainer into the upper housing and torque to 25-30 ft. lbs.
    Install upper packing with raised lip facing down.

15. Pre-form the lower packing using the lower packing sizing tool (included in the repacking kit).
    Install lower packing with the side that has the o-ring closest to the face of the packing facing up.

16. Insert the lower packing partially into the bottom of the upper housing so that the side that has the o-ring closest to the face of the packing faces up.

17. Push the lower packing into position using the lower packing insertion tool (see Fluid Section Assembly parts list for lower packing insertion tool P/N).

18. Place the piston insertion tool (included in the repacking kit) over the top of the piston rod.

19. Insert the piston rod into the bottom of the upper housing, through the lower packing, through the upper packing, and out through the upper seal retainer.
    NOTE: When repacking the fluid section, make sure the raised lip on the bottom of the lower packing is fully outside the packing around the piston rod after insertion of the piston rod.

20. Remove the piston insertion tool from the top of the piston rod.

21. Replace the upper housing back into the fluid section clamp on the gear housing. Make sure to slide the top of the piston rod into the T-slot on the slider assembly.

22. Place the fluid section block back into position over the fluid section. Replace the washers and nuts that secure the fluid section block to the gear housing. Tighten the nuts (torque to 100-130 in-lbs).

23. Making sure that the Viton o-ring and PTFE back-up ring are lubricated and in place, thread the lower housing into the upper housing. Using two wrenches, hold the upper housing at the wrench flats with one wrench and tighten the lower housing with the other.

24. Attach the high-pressure hose to the nipple on the back of the housing and tighten with a wrench. Do not kink the hose.
    NOTE: Make sure the hose does not touch the cart frame. If it does, reposition the nipple by turning the upper housing until the hose is clear of the frame and the nipple is within 45º of the back of the unit.

25. Making sure that the Viton o-ring and PTFE back-up ring are lubricated and in place, reassemble the foot valve assembly and and thread it into the lower housing. Tighten securely.

26. Thread the siphon tube/siphon set into the foot valve and tighten securely. Make sure to wrap the threads on the down tube/siphon tube adapter with PTFE tape before assembly.
