GENERAL VIEW OF APPLICATION / DESCRIPTION OF UNIT

APPLICATION
The unit performance is conceived so that its use is possible on building sites for small- to middle-area dispersion work.

EXAMPLES OF OBJECTS TO BE SPRAYED
The sprayer is able for all common varnishing jobs like doors, door frames, balustrades, furniture, woodencladding, fences, radiators (heating) and steel parts.

COATING MATERIALS
PROCESSIBLE COATING MATERIALS
Pay attention to the Airless quality of the coating materials to be processed.
Dilutable lacquers and paints or those containing solvents, twocomponent coating materials, dispersions, latex paints, release agents, oils, undercoats, primers, and fillers. No other materials should be used for spraying without Titan's approval.

FILTERING
Despite suction filter and insertion filter in the spray gun, filtering of the coating material is generally advisable. Stir coating material before commencement of work.
Attention: Make sure, when stirring up with motordriven agitators that no air bubbles are stirred in. Air bubbles disturb when spraying and can, in fact, lead to interruption of operation.

VISCOSITY
With this unit it is possible to process highly viscous coating materials of up to around 20.000 MPa·s.
If highly viscous coating materials cannot be taken in by suction, they must be diluted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

TWO-COMPONENT COATING MATERIAL
The appropriate processing time must be adhered to exactly. Within this time rinse through and clean the unit meticulously with the appropriate cleaning materials.

COATING MATERIALS WITH SHARP-EDGED ADDITIONAL MATERIALS
These have a strong wear and tear effect on valves, high-pressure hose, spray gun and tip. The durability of these parts cane be reduced appreciably through this.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATORS
The following is a description of the control panel indicators.

SERVICE INDICATOR
The Service indicator is on when the motor is commanded to run. This indicator is used by service centers to troubleshoot motor problems.

PRESSURE INDICATOR
The pressure indicator shows the current operating pressure of the sprayer. It has three different indications: blinking yellow, solid yellow, and solid green.

Blinking Yellow
When the pressure indicator is blinking yellow, the sprayer is operating between 0 and 1.4 MPa (14 bar). A blinking yellow pressure indicator means:

• The sprayer is plugged in and turned "ON"
• The sprayer is at priming pressure (little or no pressure)
• It is safe to move the relief valve between positions
• It is safe to change or replace the spray tip

If the pressure indicator begins blinking yellow when the pressure control knob is set at a higher pressure and the relief valve is in the SPRAY position, either the spray tip is worn or the sprayer is in need of service/repair.

Solid Yellow
When the pressure indicator is solid yellow, the sprayer is operating between 1.4 MPa (14 bar) and 12 MPa (120 bar). A solid yellow pressure indicator means:

• The sprayer is at the proper pressure setting for spraying stain, lacquer, varnish, and multi-colors

Solid Green
When the pressure indicator is solid green, the sprayer is operating between 12 MPa (120 bar) and 23 MPa (230 bar). A solid green pressure indicator means:

• The sprayer is at the proper pressure setting for spraying oil-based and latex house paints
• The sprayer is operating at peak performance at a high pressure setting
• If the pressure indicator goes to solid yellow when the pressure is set so that it starts at solid green, it indicates one of the following:
  1. Tip Wear Indicator — when spraying with latex or at high pressure the solid yellow appears. This means the tip is worn and needs to be replaced.
  2. Tip Too Large — when a tip that is too large for the sprayer is put in the gun, the pressure indicator will turn from solid green to solid yellow.
  3. Fluid Section Wear — if a solid yellow pressure indicator appears when using a new tip and the pressure is set at maximum, service may be required (worn packings, worn piston, stuck valve, etc...).

PRESSURE CONTROL KNOB SETTINGS

1. Minimum pressure setting
2. Black zone – no pressure generation
3. Blue zone – pulsating pressure for cleaning

CONNECTION TO THE MAINS NETWORK
Attention
The unit must be connected to an appropriatelygrounded safety outlet.
Before connecting the unit to the mains supply, ensure that the line voltage matches that specified on the unit's rating plate.
The connection must be equipped with a residual current protective device with INF ≤ 30 mA.
Titan's accessories program also includes a mobile operator protection device for the electronic supply, which can also be used with other electronic equipment.

1. Immerse the suction tube (Fig. 6, Item 2) return hose (1) into a container with a suitable cleaning agent.
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise (3) to minimum pressure.
3. Open the relief valve (4), valve position PRIME ( circulation).
4. Switch the unit (5) ON.
5. Wait until the cleaning agent exudes from the return hose.
6. Close the relief valve, valve position SPRAY ( spray).
7. Pull the trigger of the spray gun.
8. Spray the cleaning agent from the unit into an open collecting container.

TAKING THE UNIT INTO OPERATION WITH COATING MATERIAL

1. Immerse the suction tube (Fig. 6, Item 2) and return hose (1) into the coating material container.
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise (3) to minimum pressure.
3. Open the relief valve (4), valve position PRIME ( circulation).
4. Switch the unit (5) ON.
5. Wait until the coating material exudes from the return hose.
6. Close the relief valve, valve position SPRAY ( spray).
7. Trigger the spray gun several times and spray into a collecting container until the coating material exits the spray gun without interruption.
8. Increase the pressure by slowly turning up the pressure control knob.
   Check the spray pattern and increase the pressure until the atomization is correct.
   Always turn the pressure control knob to the lowest setting with good atomization.
9. The unit is ready to spray.

SPRAYING

Injection hazard. Do not spray without the tip guard in place. NEVER trigger the gun unless the tip is completely turned to either the spray or the unclog position. ALWAYS engage the gun trigger lock before removing, replacing or cleaning tip.

1. The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire surface. Keep your arm moving at a constant speed and keep the spray gun at a constant distance from the surface. The best spraying distance is 10-12 inches (25 to 30 cm) between the spray tip and the surface.
   

2. Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means moving your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing your wrist. Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one end of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
   

3. Trigger gun after starting the stroke. Release the trigger before ending the stroke. The spray gun should be moving when the trigger is pulled and released. Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an even coating.
   

If very sharp edges result or if there are streaks in the spray jet – increase the operating pressure or dilute the coating material.

HANDLING THE HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE

	The unit is equipped with a high-pressure hose specially suited for piston pumps.
	Danger of injury through leaking high-pressure hose. Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately. Never repair defective high-pressure hoses yourself!

The high-pressure hose is to be handled with care. Avoid sharp bends and folds: the smallest bending radius is about 8" (20 cm).
Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against sharp objects and edges.
Never pull on the high-pressure hose to move the device.
Make sure that the high-pressure hose cannot twist. This can be avoided by using a Titan spray gun with a swivel joint and a hose system.

	When using the high-pressure hose while working on scaffolding, it is best to always guide the hose along the outside of the scaffolding.
	The risk of damage rises with the age of the high-pressure hose. Titan recommends replacing high-pressure hoses after 6 years.
	Use only Titan original-high-pressure hoses in order to ensure functionality, safety and durability.

14. Carry out installation in the reverse order. Lubricate O-ring (Fig. 11, Item 6) with machine grease and ensure proper seating in the inlet valve housing (Fig. 11, Item 1).

SELECTION OF TIP

To achieve faultless and rational working, the selection of the tip is of the greatest importance.
In many cases the correct tip can only be determined by means of a spraying test.

SOME RULES FOR THIS:
The spray jet must be even.
If streaks appear in the spray jet the spraying pressure is either too low or the viscosity of the coating material to high.
REMEDY: Increase pressure or dilute coating material. Each pump conveys a certain quantity in proportion to the size of the tip:
The following principle is valid:
large tip = low pressure
small tip = high pressure
There is a large range of tips with various spraying angles.

SERVICING AND CLEANING OF AIRLESS HARD-METAL TIPS

STANDARD TIPS
If a different tip type has been fitted, then clean it according to manufacturer's instructions.
The tip has a bore processed with the greatest precision. Careful handling is necessary to achieve long durability. Do not forget the fact that the hard-metal insert is brittle! Never throw the tip or handle with sharp metal objects.

The following points must be observed to keep the tip clean and ready for use:

1. Turn the relief valve handle fully counterclockwise ( Circulation).
2. Remove the tip from the spray gun.
3. Place tip in an appropriate cleaning agent until all coating material residue is dissolved.
4. If there is high-pressure air available, blow out tip.
5. Remove any residue by means of a sharp wooden rod (toothpick).
6. Check the tip with the help of a magnifying glass and, if necessary, repeat points 3 to 5.

TESTING OF THE UNIT
For safety reasons, we would recommend having the device checked by an expert as required but at least every 12 months to ensure that it can continue to operate safely. In the case of unused devices, the check can be postponed until they are next started up.
All (potentially deviating) national inspection and maintenance regulations must also be observed.
If you have any questions, please contact the customer service team at Titan.

ACCESSORIES

RECOIL OF SPRAY GUN

When using a high operating pressure, pulling the trigger guard can effect a recoil force up to 15 N. If you are not prepared for this, your hand can be thrust backwards or your balance lost. This can lead to injury.

BREATHING EQUIPMENT AS PROTECTION AGAINST SOLVENT VAPORS
Wear breathing equipment during spraying work.

PREVENTION OF OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESSES
Wear safety goggles.
Wear hearing protection.
Protective clothing, gloves and possibly skin protection cream are necessary for the protection of the skin.
Observe the regulations of the manufacturer concerning coating materials, solvents and cleaning agents in preparation, processing and cleaning units.

MAX. OPERATING PRESSURE
The permissible operating pressure for the spray gun, spray gun accessories, unit accessories and high-pressure hose must not fall short of the maximum operating pressure of 22.1 MPa (221 bar).

HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE

Attention, danger of injury by injection!
Wear and tear and kinks as well as usage that is not appropriate to the purpose of the device can cause leakages to form in the high-pressure hose. Liquid can be injected into the skin through a leakage.

• Ÿ High-pressure hoses must be checked thoroughly before they are used.
• Ÿ Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately. Ÿ Never repair defective high-pressure hoses yourself!
• Ÿ Avoid sharp bends and folds: the smallest bending radius is about 20 cm.
• Ÿ Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against sharp objects and edges.
• Ÿ Never pull on the high-pressure hose to move the device.
• Ÿ Do not twist the high-pressure hose.
• Ÿ Do not put the high-pressure hose into solvents. Use only a wet cloth to wipe down the outside of the hose.
• Ÿ Lay the high-pressure hose in such a way as to ensure that it cannot be tripped over.

Only use Titan original-high-pressure hoses in order to ensure functionality, safety and durability.

ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING (FORMATION OF SPARKS OR FLAMES)

Electrostatic charging of the unit may occur during spraying due to the flow speed of the coating material. These can cause sparks and flames upon discharge. The unit must therefore always be earthed via the electrical system. The unit must be connected to an appropriately-grounded safety outlet.
An electrostatic charging of spray guns and the high-pressure hose is discharged through the high-pressure hose. For this reason the electric resistance between the connections of the high-pressure hose must be equal to or lower than 1 MΩ.

USE OF UNITS ON BUILDING SITES AND WORKSHOPS
The unit may only be connected to the mains network via a special feeding point with a residual-current device with INF ≤ 30 mA. An upstream circuit breaker (fuse) with 16 A (B or C characteristics) is required.

VENTILATION WHEN SPRAYING IN ROOMS
Adequate ventilation to ensure removal of the solvent vapors has to be ensured.

SUCTION INSTALLATIONS
The are to be provided by the unit user in accordance with the corresponding local regulations.

EARTHING OF THE OBJECT
The object to be coated must be earthed. (Building walls are usually earthed naturally)

COATING MATERIAL
Caution against dangers that can arise from the sprayed substance and observe the text and information on the containers or the specifications given by the substance manufacturer.
Do not spray any liquid of unknown hazard potential.

CLEANING THE UNIT
When cleaning the gun, only rinse when the nozzle is removed and rinse at low pressure.

	When cleaning the unit with solvents, the solvent should never be sprayed or pumped back into a container with a small opening (bunghole). An explosive gas/air mixture can arise. Only use an earthed container made from metal. To earth the gun, hold it firmly on the edge of the container.
	Danger of short-circuits caused by water ingression! Never spray down the unit with high-pressure or high-pressure steam cleaners.

WORK OR REPAIRS AT THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
These may only be carried out by a skilled electrician. No liability is assumed for incorrect installation. Unplug the power plug from the outlet before carrying out any repair work.

MAINTENANCE WORK AND BREAKS
Before carrying out any work on the device and during any work break, release the pressure in the spray gun and high-pressure hose. Secure the spray gun's trigger guard and switch off the device.

SETUP ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE
The front end must always point downwards in order to avoid sliding away.
If possible do not use the unit on an inclined surface since the unit tends to wander through the resulting vibrations.

OSCILLATION LEVEL
The specified oscillation level has been measured according to a standard test procedure and can be used to compare against electric tools. The oscillation level is also for determining an initial assessment of the vibrational strain.
Attention! The vibration emission value can differ from the specified value when the electric tool is actually in use, depending on how the electric tool is being used. It is necessary to specify safety measures to protect the operating personnel. These measures are based on an estimated shutdown during the actual conditions of use (all parts of the operating cycle are taken into consideration here, for example periods when the electric tool is switched off, and, when it is switched on but running without any load).
