Preparing A New Sprayer - Titan PowrLiner PL4950 Mode D'emploi

9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Strain all paints with a nylon strainer to ensure trouble free
operation and freedom from frequent cleaning of the inlet
screen and gun filter.
12. Make sure the spray area is well ventilated to prevent
hazardous operation with volatile solvents or exhaust fumes.

Preparing a New Sprayer

If this unit is new, it is shipped with test fluid in the fluid section to
prevent corrosion during shipment and storage. This fluid must be
thoroughly cleaned out of the system with mineral spirits before you
begin spraying.
Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while preparing the system.
Attention
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of mineral spirits.
2. Place the bleed hose into a metal waste container.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its
lowest pressure setting (fig 7, 1).
4. Open the hydraulic shut-off valve (2) located on the hydraulic
pressure hose. The handle should be in line with the hose.
5. Open the bleed valve (3) by turning it fully counterclockwise.

6. Start the engine or turn on the electric motor.
a. To start the gas engine (fig. 8),
• move the fuel valve lever (2) to the open position,
• move the throttle lever (3) to its middle point,
• move the choke lever (4) to the closed position for a cold
engine or to the open position for a warm engine,
• turn the engine switch (1) to the ON position, and
• pull the starter rope (5) briskly until the engine starts or turn
and hold the electric starter key towards "Start" until the engine
starts (PL6950/8950 only)
b. To start the electric motor, move the ON/OFF switch to the ON
position.
7. Turn the pressure control knob (fig. 7, 1) clockwise
approximately 1/3 of the way down to increase pressure until
the sprayer cycles evenly and solvent flows freely from the
bleed hose.
8. Allow the sprayer to run for 15–30 seconds to flush the test
fluid out through the bleed hose and into the waste container.
9. Turn off the sprayer.
a. To turn off the gas engine,
• set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure control
knob fully counterclockwise,
• move the throttle lever to the slow position, and
• turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
