Setup - Titan 1800M Owner's Manual

Setup

Perform the following procedure before starting the engine of a
gas-powered line striper.
1. Ensure that the siphon hose
and the return hose are
attached and secure.
2. Position the spray gun.
a. Loosen the support bar
clamp hex screw and
rotate the gun support bar
to the desired position.
Tighten the hex screw
securely.
b. Loosen the gun holder
clamp knob and slide the
spray gun to the desired
vertical and horizontal
(front-to-back) position.
Tighten the knob securely.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest pressure setting.
4. Make sure the pump ON/OFF switch is in the OFF
position.
5. Fill the fluid section oil cup with approximately one
tablespoon of piston seal lubricant (Piston Lube).
NOTE: The height of the spray gun affects the width
of the spray pattern (i.e., the lower the gun, the
smaller the line width). Tip size also affects line
width.
IMPORTaNT: Never operate unit for more than ten seconds
without fluid. Operating this unit without fluid will cause
unnecessary wear to the packings.
7. Check the engine oil level. The gasoline engine oil level
is determined by the manufacturer. Refer to the engine
manufacturer's service manual (supplied).
8. Close the fuel shut-off lever and fill the gas tank with
gasoline. Use only high quality, unleaded gasoline.
NOTE: The gun support bar and the spray gun can be
mounted on either side of the sprayer. To move
the gun support bar:
a. Remove the support bar clamp hex screw and
nut.
b. Move the gun support bar to the opposite side of
the cart.
c. align the support bar clamp with the bracket on
the cart.
d. Thread the clamp hex screw through the gun
support bar clamp and the bracket on the cart.
Place the nut on the end of the clamp hex screw
and tighten securely.
adjusting the Trigger Tension
Use the following procedure to adjust the spring tension of the
trigger lever on the gun holder assembly. The trigger lever
pulls and releases the spray gun trigger when operated from
the trigger on the cart. The proper tension ensures that the gun
will shut off when the gun trigger is released. To ensure proper
tension, there should be approximately a 1/32" to 1/16" gap
between the trigger lever and the spray gun trigger.
IMPORTaNT: always keep the trigger lock on the spray
gun in the locked position while making adjustments to the
system.
1. Using a wrench, loosen the bolt on the cable block.
2. Move the cable block in the appropriate direction to create
a gap of 1/32" to 1/16" between the trigger lever and spray
gun trigger.
a. Slide the cable block toward the gun to increase the gap
between the trigger lever and spray gun trigger.

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.
IMPORTaNT: always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun
in the locked position while preparing the system.
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of mineral spirits
that has a flash point of 60ºC (140ºF) or above.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest pressure setting.
4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the PRIME position.
5. Move the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
6. Start the engine:
a. Open the fuel valve
lever.
b. Move the throttle
lever away from the
gas tank.
c. Close the engine
choke lever.
d. Holding the frame
with one hand, pull
the starter rope
rapidly and firmly.
Continue to hold the rope as you let it return. Pull and
return the rope until the engine starts.
7. Turn on the sprayer by
moving the pump ON/OFF
switch to the ON position.
8. Slowly turn the pressure
control knob clockwise to
increase the pressure until
fluid starts to come out of
the return hose. Use only
enough pressure to keep the
fluid coming out.
9. Allow the sprayer to run for
15–30 seconds to flush the test fluid out through the return
hose and into the waste container.
10. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest setting.
11. Turn off the sprayer by moving the pump ON/OFF switch
to the OFF position.
