Pressure Relief Procedure; Spraying; Spraying Technique - Titan 640i Manuel D'utilisation

Solid Green
When the pressure indicator is solid green, the sprayer is
operating between 1800 and 3200 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.

Pressure Relief Procedure

WARNING
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. Lock the gun by turning the gun
trigger lock to the locked position.
2. Turn the unit off by moving the
ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
3. Turn the pressure control knob
counterclockwise to its OFF position
in the black zone.
4. Unlock the gun by turning the gun
trigger lock to the unlocked position.
5. Hold the metal part of the gun firmly to
the side of a metal container to ground
the gun and avoid a build up of static
electricity.
6. Trigger the gun to remove any
pressure that may still be in the hose.
7. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.
8. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to the PRIME
position.

Spraying

WARNING
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 following techniques, if followed, will assure professional
painting results.
Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface and always at equal
distance from the surface. Depending on the type of material,
surface, or desired spray pattern, the gun should be held at a
distance of 12 to 14 inches (30 to 35 cm).
Move the gun either across or up and down the surface at a
steady rate. Moving the gun at a consistent speed conserves
material and provides even coverage. The correct spraying speed
allows a full, wet coat of paint to be applied without runs or sags.
Holding the gun closer to the surface deposits more paint on
the surface and produces a narrower spray pattern. Holding
the gun farther from the surface produces a thinner coat and
wider spray pattern. If runs, sags, or excessive paint occur,
change to a spray tip with a smaller orifice. If there is an
insufficient amount of paint on the surface or you desire to
spray faster, a larger orifice tip should be selected.
Maintain uniform spray stroke action. Spray alternately from
left to right and right to left. Begin movement of the gun before
the trigger is pulled.
English
Avoid arcing or holding the gun at an angle. This will result in
an uneven finish.
Proper lapping (overlap of spray pattern) is essential to an

even finish. Lap each stroke. If you are spraying horizontally,

aim at the bottom edge of the preceding stroke, so as to lap
the previous pattern by 50%.
For corners and edges,
split the center of the
spray pattern on the
corner or edge and spray
vertically so that both
adjoining sections receive
approximately even
amounts of paint.
When spraying with a shield, hold it firmly against the surface.
Angle the spray gun slightly away from the shield and toward
the surface. This will prevent paint from being forced
underneath.
Shrubs next to houses should be tied back and covered with a
canvas cloth. The cloth should be removed as soon as
possible. Titan gun extensions are extremely helpful in these
situations.
Nearby objects such as automobiles, outdoor furniture, etc.
should be moved or covered whenever in the vicinity of a
spray job. Be careful of any other surrounding objects that
could be damaged by overspray.
