Setup; Fueling (Gas Engine) - Titan SPEEFLO Hydra Pro IV Owner's Manual

Setup

Read, understand, and follow all warnings before
starting or operating this sprayer.
Required tools: adjustable wrench
1. connecting the hoses:
The siphon hose and bleed line hose have factory
installed Teflon tape on the male end o the hoses.
Tighten the siphon hose and bleed line wrench tight.
2. One gun operation:
Attach the gun and hose. Always use a spray hose at
least 50 feet long. Do not use Teflon or thread sealant on
this assembly. Do not install the spray tip at this time.
3. Two gun operation:
Remove the plug from the second gun outlet. Replace
with nipple, part # 812-003 for 1/4" hose or nipple; use part
# 808-555 for 3/8" hose. Connect a hose and a gun to the
outlet.
4. Multiple gun operation:
The Hydra Pro IV™ is engineerd to handle up to 4 guns.
When using more than two guns, make sure the second
gun hookup outlet is plugged. Connect the multiple gun
manifold to the single gun outlet. These manifolds are for
either 2, 3, or 4 guns and have shutoff valves. Connect a
hose and gun to each outlet.
5. Fill the wet-cup 1/2 full with Titan's Piston Lube, part #
314-480 supplied by the factory. This extends packing
life.
6. Be sure the Hydra Pro IV™ system is grounded. All Titan
units are equipped with a grounding lug. A grounding
cable (not supplied) should be used to connect the
unit to a true earth ground. Check your loack electrical
regulations for detailed grounding instructions.
Proper grounding is important. This applies to
both gas and electric powered models. The
passage of some materials through the nylon fluid
hose will build up a static electric charge, which if
discharged, could ignite solvent vaports present
and create an explosion.
7. Strain all paints to assure trouble-free operation and
freedom from frequent cleaning of inlet screen and gun
strainer.

Fueling (gas engine)

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.
• ALWAYS turn the engine off before refueling.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the refueling
area or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the
tank cap is closed properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or
fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the
area is dry before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing
of vapor.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
Fuel Specifications
• Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane number
of 87 or higher, or that has a research octane number of
91 or higher. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause
persistent "pinging" or heavy "spark knock" (a metallic
rapping noise) which, if severe, can lead to engine
damage.
NOTE: If "spark knock" or "pinging" occurs at a steady
engine speed under normal load, change brands
of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists,
consult an authorized dealer of the engine
manufacturer. Failure to do so is considered
misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not
covered by the engine manufacturer's limited
warranty.
Occasionally you may experience light spark
knock while operating under heavy loads. This
is no cause for concern, it simply means your
engine is operating efficiently.
• Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends the life of the exhaust system
components.
• Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/
gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the
fuel tank.
