Maintaining The Engine; Replacing The Filter; Replacing The Prime/Spray Valve - Titan Advantage GPX 220 Owner's Manual

Maintaining the Engine

When transporting a sprayer with a gas engine,
make sure the fuel is shut off.
NOTE: For detailed engine specifications and
maintenance, refer to the separate engine
manual supplied with this sprayer.
Important Facts concerning this Sprayer
This gas-powered sprayer contains a clutch that engages when
the sprayer is pumping. The sprayer's pressure control system
engages and disengages the clutch to control pressure. To
prevent unnecessary wear to the clutch, it is advisable to adjust
the engine speed and pressure setting to limit the amount of
times the clutch engages and disengages. To reduce clutch
wear, refer to the following examples.
Example:
Operating one gun with a .019 tip — reduce the engine speed
by adjusting the throttle to a low or medium setting and increase
pressure only until the heavy ends of the spray pattern have
been eliminated.
Example:
Operating one gun with .023 tip — increase engine speed to a
higher setting and increase pressure until the heavy ends of the
spray pattern have been eliminated.
Example:
Spraying light-bodied materials at low pressure — to reduce
surging at the gun and to decrease clutch wear, reduce the
engine speed to idle and reduce pressure until the desired spray
pattern is achieved.
Routine Engine Maintenance
Daily
• Check and fill the gas tank.
• After the first 20 hours of operation, drain the oil and
refill with clean oil. Check the engine oil level and fill as
necessary.
Weekly

Replace the element if necessary. If operating in an
unusually dusty environment, check the filter daily and
replace if necessary. (Replacement elements can be
purchased from your local Titan dealer.)

Spark Plug

removing the plug.
