EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS USED
PowrBeast
1.2 SAFETY HAZARDS
This manual contains information that must be read and
understood before using the equipment. When you come to
an area that has one of the following symbols, pay particular
attention and make certain to heed the safeguard.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard
that may cause serious injury or loss of life.
Important safety information will follow.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard
to you or to the equipment. Important
tention
information that tells how to prevent
damage to the equipment or how to avoid
causes of minor injuries will follow.
Danger of skin injection
Danger of re from solvent and paint fumes
Danger of explosion from solvent, paint
fumes and incompatible materials
Danger of injury from inhalation of harmful
vapors
Danger of injury from electric shock
Notes give important information which
should be given special attention.
HAZARD: INJECTION INJURY
amputation.
Do not treat a spraying injury as a harmless cut. In
case of injury to the skin through coating materials
about the coating material or solvent used.
PREVENTION:
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the uid stream.
DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the uid hose.
• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the uid pump o and
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip guard,
changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be
released by turning o the engine. The PRIME/SPRAY valve
or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate
positions to relieve system pressure.
• ALWAYS keep tip guard in place while spraying. The tip
guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning
device.
• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before ushing or cleaning
the system.
• NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and
trigger guard in place.
• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum
operating pressure range of the sprayer. This includes
spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.

safety precautions
The paint hose can develop leaks from wear,
Flammable vapors, such as solvent and paint
PowrBeast
HAZARD: HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
kinking and abuse. A leak can inject material into
the skin. Inspect the hose before each use.
PREVENTION:
• Avoid sharp bending or kinking of the high-pressure hose.
The smallest bending radius amounts to about 20 cm.
• Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against
sharp objects and edges.
• Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately.
• Never repair damaged high-pressure hoses yourself!
• 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
1M.
• For reasons of function, safety and durability use only
original Titan high-pressure hoses.
• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion
or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of
couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these
conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with
another earthed high-pressure hose.
• Make sure power cord, air hose and spray hoses are routed
in such a manner to minimize slip, trip and fall hazard.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
vapors, in work area can ignite or explode.
PREVENTION:
• Use equipment only in well ventilated area. Keep a good
supply of fresh air moving through the area to keep the air
within the spray area free from accumulation of ammable
vapors. Keep pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do
not spray pump assembly.
• Electric models only - Do not use materials with a ashpoint
below 38º C (100º F). Flashpoint is the temperature at which
a uid can produce enough vapors to ignite.
• Gas models only - Do not ll fuel tank while engine is
running or hot; shut o engine and allow to cool. Fuel is
ammable and can ignite or explode if spilled on a hot
surface.
• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as pilot lights, cigarettes,
portable electric lamps and plastic drop cloths (potential
static arc).
• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and
gasoline.
• Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light
switches on or o when ammable vapors are present.
• Ground equipment and conductive objects in work
area. Make sure the grounding cable (not equipped) is
connected from the grounding lug to a true earth ground.
• Use only grounded hoses.
• Hold spray gun rmly to the side of a grounded pail when
triggering into pail.
• If there is static sparking or if you feel a shock, stop
operation immediately.
• Know the contents of the paint and solvents being sprayed.
Read all material Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and container
labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the
paint and solvent manufacturer’s safety instructions.
• Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach, mildewcide,
methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier
about compatibility of material with aluminum.
• Keep a re extinguisher in work area.
5
safety precautions
Paints, solvents, and other materials can be
harmful if inhaled or come in contact with body.
Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or
PowrBeast
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS
poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Wear respiratory protection when spraying. Read all
instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will
provide the necessary protection.
• All local regulations regarding protection against
hazardous vapors must be observed.
• Wear protective eyewear.
• 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.
HAZARD: GENERAL
This product can cause severe injury or property
damage.
PREVENTION:
• Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes
governing ventilation, re prevention, and operation.
• Pulling the trigger causes a recoil force to the hand that is
holding the spray gun. The recoil force of the spray gun
is particularly powerful when the tip has been removed
and high pressure has been set on the airless pump. When
cleaning without a spray tip, set the pressure control knob
to the lowest pressure.
• Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all
risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the
minimum specications and safety devices of the pump
manufacturer.
• ALWAYS follow the material manufacturer’s instructions
for safe handling of paint and solvents.
• Clean up all material and solvent spills immediately to
prevent slip hazard.
• Wear ear protection. This unit can produce noise levels
above 85 dB(A).
• Never leave this equipment unattended. Keep away from
children or anyone not familiar with the operation of airless
equipment.
• Do not spray on windy days.
• The device and all related liquids (i.e. hydraulic oil) must be
disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
1.3 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 due to the resulting vibrations.
1.4 ELECTRIC SAFETY
Electric models must be grounded/earthed. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding/earthing reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having
an grounding/earthing wire with an appropriate grounding/
earthing plug. Connection to the power cord only through a
special feed point, e.g. through an error protection insallation
with INF < 30 mA.
DANGER — Work or repairs at the electrical
equipment may only be carried out by a skilled
electrician. No liability is assumed for incorrect
installation. Switch the unit o. Before all repair
work, unplug the power plug from the outlet.
Danger of short-circuits caused by water
ingressing into the electrical equipment. Never
spray down the unit with high-pressure or highpressure steam cleaners.
1.5 GASOLINE ENGINE SAFETY
1. Gas engines are designed to give safe and dependable
service if operated according to instructions. Read and
understand the engine manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual
before operating the engine. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury or equipment damage.
2. To prevent re hazards and to provide adequate
ventilation, keep the engine at least 1 meter (3 feet) away
from buildings and other equipment during operation. Do
not place ammable objects close to the engine.

safety precautions
At
i
i
PowrBeast
3. People who are not operating the device must stay away
from the area of operation due to a possibility of burns from
hot engine components or injury from any equipment the
engine may be used to operate.
4. Know how to stop the engine quickly, and understand the
operation of all controls. Never permit anyone to operate
the engine without proper instructions.
5. Gasoline is extremely ammable and is explosive under
certain conditions.
6. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow ames or sparks in the refueling
area or where gasoline is stored.
7. Do not overll the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the
tank cap is closed properly and securely.
8. Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Fuel vapor or
spilled fuel may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the
area is dry before starting the engine.
9. Never run the engine in an enclosed or conned area.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas;
exposure may cause loss of consciousness and may lead
to death.
10. The muer becomes very hot during operation and
remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be
careful not to touch the muer while it is hot. To avoid
severe burns or re hazards, let the engine cool before
transporting it or storing it indoors.
11. Never ship/transport sprayer with gasoline in the tank.
DO NOT use this equipment to spray water or
acid.
Do not lift by cart handle when loading or
unloading.
tention
Device is very heavy. Three-person lift is required.
1.6 FUELING GAS ENGINE
Gasoline is extremely ammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.
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 eciently.
• 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.
GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be
sure its octane rating is at least as high as that recommended
by the engine manufacturer. There are two types of “gasohol”:
one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol.
Do not use gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do
not use gasoline containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol)
that does not also contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors
for methanol. Never use gasoline containing more than 5%
methanol, even if it has co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors.
Fuel system damage or engine performance
problems resulting from the use of fuels that
contain alcohol is not covered under the
warranty. The engine manufacturer cannot
endorse the use of fuels containing methanol
since evidence of their suitability is incomplete
at this time.
Before buying gasoline from an unfamiliar
station, try to nd out if the gasoline contains
alcohol. If it does, conrm the type and
percentage of alcohol used. If you notice any
undesirable operating characteristics while using
a gasoline that contains alcohol, or one that you
think contains alcohol, switch to a gasoline that
you know does not contain alcohol.
FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane number of 86
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.

2 MAIN AREAS OF APPLICATION
PowrBeast
2.1
The main area of application are thick layers of highly viscous
coating material for large areas and a high consumption of
material.
Priming and nal coating of large areas, sealing, impregnation,
construction sanitation, façade protection and renovation, rust
protection and building protection, roof coating, roof sealing,
concrete sanitation, as well as heavy corrosion protection.
EXAMPLES OF OBJECTS TO BE SPRAYED
Large-scale construction sites, cooling towers, bridges, sewage
treatment plants and terraces.
APPLICATION
2.2 COATING MATERIALS
PROCESSIBLE COATING MATERIALS
Diluting lacquers and paints or those containing solvents, twocomponent coating materials, dispersion and latex paints.
No other materials should be used for spraying without Titan‘s
approval.
Pay attention to the Airless quality of the coating
materials to be processed.
VISCOSITY
The unit is able to process coating materials with up to 50.000
/ 65.000 mPas. If highly viscous coating materials cannot be
taken in or the performance of the unit is to low, the paint must
be diluted in accordance with the manufacturer‘s instructions.
Attention: Make sure, when stirring up with
motor-driven agitators that no air bubbles are
stirred in. Air bubbles disturb when spraying and
can, in fact, lead to interruption of operation.
COATING MATERIALS WITH ABRASIVE MATERIALS
These particles have a strong wear and tear eect on valves and
tips, but also on the spray gun. This impairs the durability of
these wearing parts considerably.
TWOCOMPONENT 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 agents.
FILTERING
Sucient ltering is required for fault-free operation. The unit
is equipped with a suction lter, an insertion lter in the spray
gun and a high pressure lter on the unit. Regular inspection
of these lters for damage or soiling is urgently recommended.

3 DESCRIPTION OF UNIT
3.1
A piston pump takes in the coating material by suction and
conveys it to the tip. Pressed through the tip at a pressure of
up to a maximum of 3300 PSI (228 bar, 22.8 MPa), the coating
material is atomised. This high pressure has the eect of micro
ne atomization of the coating material.
As no air is used in this process, it is described as an AIRLESS
process.
This method of spraying has the advantages of nest
atomization, cloudless operation and a smooth, bubble-free
surface. As well as these, the advantages of the speed of work
and convenience must be mentioned.
AIRLESS PROCESS
3.2 FUNCTIONING OF THE UNIT
The following section contains a brief description of the
technical construction for better understanding of the function
of the unit.
This manual gives information for both electric
motor and gasoline engine PowrBeast models.
TITAN PowrBeast are high-pressure spraying units driven by
either a gasoline engine or electric motor.
The gasoline engine or electric motor (g. 1, item 1) drives the
hydraulic pump (3) by means of a V-belt which is under the belt
cover (2). Hydraulic oil ows to the hydraulic motor (4) and then
moves the piston up and down in the material feed pump (5).
The inlet valve is opened automatically by the upwards
movement of the piston. The outlet valve is opened when the
piston moves downward.
The coating material ows under high pressure through the
high-pressure hose to the spray gun. When the coating material
exits from the tip it atomizes.
The pressure control valve (6) controls the volume and the
operating pressure of the coating material.

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.
A) 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.
A
25 - 30 cm
C
25 - 30 cm25 - 30 cm
If very sharp edges result or if there are streaks in
the spray jet – increase the operating pressure or
dilute the coating material.
5.1 CLEANING A CLOGGED TIP
If the spray pattern becomes distorted or stops
completely while pulling the trigger, perform the
steps below.
B) Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This
means moving your entire arm back and forth rather than
just exing your wrist.
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface,
otherwise one end of the pattern will be thicker than the
other.
B
C) 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.
1. Turn the relief valve to PRIME (k circulation).
2. If the tip clogs, rotate the tip handle 180° until the arrow on
the handle is facing the opposite of the spray direction and
the handle clicks in the reverse position (Fig. 12).
3. Turn the relief valve to SPRAY (p spray).
4. Trigger the gun once so that the pressure can blow the
clog out. NEVER use the tip in the reverse position for
more than ONE trigger pull at a time. This procedure can
be repeated until the tip is free of clogging.
The ow from the spray tip is at very high
pressure. Contact with any body part may be
dangerous. Do not place nger on gun outlet.
Do not point the gun at any person. Never
operate the spray gun without the proper tip
guard.

When ready to being spraying again, remove the
plastic from the material container and restart
the sprayer by following the steps in section 4.5.
5.3 HANDLING THE HIGHPRESSURE HOSE
The unit is equipped with a high-pressure hose
specially suited for airless pumps.
Danger of injury through leaking high-pressure
hose. Replace any damaged high-pressure hose
immediately.
Never repair damaged 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
hose system.
When using the high-pressure hose while
working on scaolding, it is best to always guide
the hose along the outside of the scaolding.
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.

PowrBeast
7.5 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 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).
7.6 HIGHPRESSURE HOSE
Inspect the high-pressure hose visually for any notches or
bulges, in particular at the transition in the ttings. It must be
possible to turn the union nuts freely. A conductivity of less
than 1 MΩ must exist across the entire length.
Have all the electric tests carried by an Authorized
Titan Service Center.

• To conserve fuel, service life, and eciency of the sprayer,
always operate the gasoline engine at the lowest RPM at
which it runs smoothly without laboring and delivers the
amount required for the particular painting operation.
Higher RPM does not produce higher working pressure.
The gasoline engine is connected to the hydraulic pump
by a pulley combination designed to produce full paint
delivery at maximum RPM.
• The warranty on gasoline engines or electric motors is
limited to the original manufacturer.
EVERY 100 HOURS
• Change engine oil.
• Clean the sediment cup.
• Clean and re-gap the spark plug.
• Clean the spark arrestor.
WEEKLY
• Remove the air lter cover and clean the element. In
very dusty environments, check the lter daily. Replace
the element as needed. Replacement elements can be
purchased from your local engine manufacturer dealer.

oil), reassemble the lower packing set (4b). Place the set
onto the outlet valve housing (13) with the peak of the
“V” packings pointing down toward the hex on the outlet
valve housing.
All leather packings must be soaked in
CoolFlo hydraulic oil for 15–20 minutes before
installation. Soaking the packings too long will
cause the packings to swell and create diculty
during reassembly.
6. Inspect the outlet valve seat (11) for wear. If one side is
worn, ip the seat to the unused side. If both sides are
worn, use a new seat. Insert the outlet valve cage (28,

4. With the screwdriver in place, use your other hand to
manually turn the belt and pulleys counterclockwise.
Allow the screwdriver to follow the motion of the pulley
and pry the belt outward at the same time. Continue to
turn the pulley approximately 1/2 turn and the belt will
slide o the upper pulley with the help of the screwdriver.
PINCH HAZARD. Make sure your ngers remain
clear of the contact area between the screwdriver
and the pulley. Do not allow your ngers to get
between the belt and pulley as it turns.
BURN HAZARD. Make sure the gas engine has
had time to suciently cool before touching it.

REINSTALLATION
1. Loop the the new belt over the top pulley until the belt
engages the pulley groove.
2. Allow the belt to hang from the top pulley. With your
hand, hold the belt in place in approximately the 3:00
position on the lower pulley groove.
3. Use your other hand to manually turn the upper pulley
clockwise. Allow the hand holding the belt on the lower
pulley to follow the motion. The motion of the pulley and
the placement of your hand over the belt on the lower
pulley will allow the the belt to slide into place on the
lower pulley.
Make sure the belt is not pinched or twisted in
any way.
