Operation; Priming The Pump - Titan 0508074A Owner's Manual

Operation

Use the following procedures to operate the spray system.

Priming the Pump

Preparing to Prime
1. Fill the inlet valve with water or with a light household oil.
2. Make sure that the PRIME/SPRAY valve is set to PRIME and that
the pressure control knob is turned counterclockwise to its
lowest pressure setting.
3. Turn on the pump by moving the pump ON/OFF switch to the
ON position.
4. Increase the pressure by turning the pressure control knob
clockwise 1/2 turn.
5. Force the inlet valve to open and close by pushing on it with
a screwdriver or the eraser end of a pencil. It should move up
and down about 1/16 of an inch. Continue until water or oil
is sucked into the pump. This will wet the moving parts and
break loose any old paint residue.
6. Put the palm of your hand over the inlet. Turn the pressure
control knob clockwise to its maximum setting. You should
feel suction coming from the inlet valve. If you do not, refer
to the "Removing and Cleaning the Outlet Valve" procedure in
the Maintenance section.
7. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum pressure setting.
8. Turn the pump ON/OFF switch to OFF.
