Maintaining the Filter assembly
Clean the filter regularly. Dirty or clogged filters can greatly
reduce filtering ability and cause a number of system problems
including poor spray patterns, clogged spray tips, etc.
cleaning
To clean the filter, perform the following procedure.
1. Follow the "Pressure Relief Procedure" found in the
Operation section of this manual.
2. Remove the filter cap assembly
and spring.
3. Pull the filter element with ball
straight out of the filter body.
4. Clean inside the filter body, filter
element with ball, and filter cap
assembly using the appropriate
solvent.
NOTE: use care in handling
parts as dirt, debris,
scratches, or nicks
may prevent o-rings or
gaskets from sealing.
This filter element filters from
the inside out. Be sure to clean
the filter element thoroughly
on the inside. Soak in solvent
to loosen hardened paint or
replace.
Inspection
Inspect all parts of the filter assembly before reassembly.
1. Inspect the ball inside the filter element. If the ball has
pressure cuts or scratches, replace the filter element.
a.
If the ball is cut, remove the Teflon o-ring using an
o-ring pick and remove the carbide seat.
b.
Check the seat for nicks or grooves. If the seat is
damaged, replace.
NOTE: Removal of the Teflon o-ring will damage the
o-ring and require replacement.
2. Remove the spring from the spring guide on the filter cap.
a.
Measure the length of the spring uncompressed. If it
measures less the 3/4" from end to end, replace.
b.
Push the spring back onto the spring guide until it
"snaps" back into position.
3. Inspect the two Teflon gaskets and the Teflon o-ring for
deformity, nicks, or cuts. Replace, if needed.
NOTE: The Teflon gaskets, Teflon o-ring, and spring are
packaged in Filter Service Kit P/N 930-050.
Reassembly
After cleaning and inspecting all parts, reassemble the filter.
1. Place the carbide seat into the filter body. Make sure the
beveled side of the seat is facing up.
2. Place the Teflon o-ring into the groove on the outer
diameter of the carbide seat.
3. Place the filter element with ball into the filter body.
NOTE: The top and bottom of the filter element with ball
are identical.
4. Push the spring back onto the spring guide of the filter cap
until it "snaps" back into position, if not already done.
5. Place the thin Teflon gasket onto the step at the top of the
filter body.
6. Place the thick Teflon gasket onto the top of the thin
gasket.
7. Tighten the filter cap assembly onto the filter body.

Maintaining the hydraulic System
IMPORTaNT: use of Titan's coolflo™ hydraulic Fluid is
mandatory in the PowrTwin 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.
1. Check the hydraulic fluid daily. It should be at the

4. The hydraulic pump should not be serviced in the field.
Maintaining the Fluid Section
If the sprayer is going to be out of service for an extended period
of time, it is recommended that following cleanup a kerosene and
oil mixture be introduced as a preservative. Packings may tend
to dry out from lack of use. This is particularly true of the upper
packing set for which upper packing lubricant Piston Lube (P/N
314-480) is recommended in normal usage.
If the sprayer has been out of service for an extended period of
time, it may be necessary to prime the pump with solvent. It is
extremely important that the threads on the siphon tube/hose
coupling are properly sealed. Any air leakage will produce erratic
operation of the sprayer and may damage the system. The up
and the down strokes should be approximately equal in time (one
should not be faster than the other). A fast up or down stroke
may indicate air in the system or malfunctioning valve or seats
(see the Troubleshooting section).

Coolflo™ Hydraulic Fluid (P/N 430-361). Never add or
change hydraulic fluid except in a clean, dust-free area.
