Maintenance - Titan LX-80 II Instruction Sheet

Cleanup
Maintaining a clean gun is important to ensure trouble-free operation.
Flush the gun after each use and store in a dry location. Do not leave the
gun or any of its parts in water or solvents.
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 cake,
seriously affecting the performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum pressure
with the tip and tip guard 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. Hold
the gun firmly against a metal
container while flushing.

Precautions section of this manual before proceeding.
