Startup; Pressure Relief Procedure - Titan Speeflo Hydra M 2000 Owner's Manual

Startup

1. Areas must be well-ventilated to prevent hazardous
operation with volatile solvents or exhaust fumes.
If lacquer or other flammable materials are to be
sprayed, aLWaYS locate the unit outside the
immediate spraying area. Failure to do so may
cause an explosion.
2. Locate the unit outside the immediate spraying area to
avoid clogged air intake of the engine or electric motor
with overspray.
3. Before starting the unit, check oil levels:
a. The hydraulic fluid level should read "Full" on the
dipstick. Check it daily. See the hydraulic system
maintenance instructions for changing or adding
hydraulic fluid. Do not overfill. Use only Titan Coolflo™,
part no. 430-361.
b. The gasoline engine oil level is determined by the
manufacturer. Check the manufacturer's service
manual supplied.
4. Open the orange handle shut-off valve located on the
hydraulic return hose. Handle should be in line with hose.
The figure below shows the handle in the open position.
5. Turn the pressure adjustment knob counterclockwise to
lowest pressure setting. See figure above.
6. Open the pressure bleed valve by turning it
counterclockwise. This relieves pressure. See figure
below.
a. Your new sprayer was tested at the factory with water
soluble oil. You must clean the system before spraying
to avoid contamination of the sprayed material.
If you are spraying a water-based latex, flush with warm,
soapy water followed by a clean water rinse.
If you are using any other coating, flush with warm,
soapy water followed by a solvent. Check with the
material manufacturer for a compatible solvent.
Place siphon tube assembly into proper solvent or
water.
b. Place waste container below bleed line.
c. Start engine. Turn pressure control adjustment knob
clockwise (increasing pressure) until pump cycles
evenly and solvent flows freely from bleed line.

7. Repeat above starting procedure with paint material.
Lock gun trigger and attach spray tip. See the Technical
Data Sheet or Operator's Manual on the gun provided for
installation and selection of the proper tip sizes.
8. Test spray pattern. Operate the pump at the lowest
hydraulic pressure which provides good atomization. See
the Troubleshooting Guide if you are not getting the proper
pattern.
Start
9. Operating pressure is adjustable from 500 to 2000 psi for
the Hydra M 2000™, from 500 to 4000 psi for the Hydra
M 4000™ and from 500 to 4500 psi for the Hydra Pro
Super™. Turn the pressure adjustment knob clockwise
to increase pressure. Do not turn the knob clockwise
more than necessary to provide satisfactory atomization.
Excess pressure wears out spray tips.
10. When restarting the unit, reduce the pressure at pressure
control adjustment knob and pressure bleed valve.

Pressure Relief Procedure

IMPORTaNT: always reduce pressure when you are
cleaning a clogged tip, changing a tip, servicing any part of
the system, or shutting down. Follow the steps below.
1. Engage the gun trigger lock.
2. Shut off the power source.
3. Close the orange handle shut-off ball valve on the
hydraulic hose.
4. Open the pressure bleed valve by turning it
counterclockwise at least three full turns.
5. Disengage the gun trigger lock and hold trigger open until
flow of material stops.
6. Be certain to hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side
of a grounded metal container.
9
Close pressure bleed valve by turning it clockwise. This
allows the system to pressurize. Hold gun trigger open,
without spray tip attached, until the fluid flows smoothly.
See figure below.
