Setup
Read, understand, and follow all warnings before
starting or operating this sprayer.
1. Make sure the siphon hose is connected to the fluid
section and the bleed hose is connected to the bleed
valve. They each have factory installed Teflon tape on the
male end of the hoses and should be wrench tight.

2. Attach a minimum of 50' of nylon airless spray hose to the
sprayer. Do not use Teflon 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.
NOTE: The gas sprayer is
engineered to handle up to 3
guns with .022" tips and the
electric sprayer is engineered
to handle up to 3 guns with
.019" tips. For multiple gun
operation, connect a multiple
gun manifold to the single
gun outlet. connect a hose
and gun to each outlet. Make
sure the second gun outlet
remains plugged.
4. Fill the oil cup 1/2 full with Titan Piston
Lube (P/N 314-480) supplied by the
factory. This extends packing life.
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.
IMPORTaNT: 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 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.
NOTE: If the sprayer is being operated in an area that is
overloaded by other appliances or low voltage
conditions, it is important to start the sprayer
"unloaded." Tip the electric motor forward so
that the belt is loosened and the motor starts
without full load. This reduces the amperage
draw on starting and may avoid tripping the
circuit breaker.
8. Make sure the sprayer is grounded. All sprayers are
equipped with a grounding lug. A grounding cable (not
supplied) should be used to connect the sprayer to a true
earth ground. Check your local electrical regulations for
detailed grounding instructions. See the Accessories
and Service Kits section near the back of this manual for
grounding cable ordering information.
Proper grounding 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.
