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.

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.

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

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 specications 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

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 overll 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 conned area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure may cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.

10. The muer becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muer 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 eciently.

• 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, conrm 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.

main areas of application

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 eect on valves and tips, but also on the spray gun. This impairs the durability of these wearing parts considerably.

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 agents.

FILTERING

Sucient 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.

description of unit

PowrBeast

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 eect 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.

5 SPRAYING

PowrBeast

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.

25 - 30 cm

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.

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.

suitable cleaning agent within the processing time.

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 HIGHPRESSURE 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 scaolding, it is best to always guide the hose along the outside of the scaolding.

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.

2. Change the hydraulic uid every twelve months. Drain the old uid from the tank and ll with 6.25 quarts of hydraulic uid. Start the sprayer at just enough pressure to operate the uid section. Run the sprayer at this low pressure for at least 5 minutes. This removes air from the system. Check the uid level after this procedure. Do not over-ll.

When replacing the hydraulic lter (3) during a uid change, it may be necessary to add up to one additional quart of hydraulic uid.

3. The hydraulic system has an external, replaceable hydraulic lter. Change the lter every twelve months.

4. The hydraulic pump should not be serviced in the eld. If service on the hydraulic pump is required, it must be returned to an authorized Titan Service Center.

maintenance

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 HIGHPRESSURE 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.

REASSEMBLING THE FLUID SECTION

Use PTFE tape on all threaded pipe connections.

1. Place a new seat o-ring (20) into the groove in the bottom of the foot valve housing (23).

2. Inspect the foot valve seat (19) for wear. If one side is worn, ip the seat to the unused side. If both sides are worn, install a new seat. Place the new or ipped seat (worn side down) into the bore at the bottom of the foot valve housing (23).

3. Place a new foot valve ball (18) onto the foot valve seat (19). Using a 1/2” extension bar attached to a 1/2” drive ratchet, insert the end of the extension bar into the square opening of the foot valve cage (17) and screw the foot valve cage into the foot valve housing (23). Torque the cage to 240 in./lbs. (20 ft./lbs.).

4. Insert a new PTFE o-ring (22) into the groove of the foot valve housing (23). Lubricate the o-ring using oil or grease.

5. After soaking the leather packings in oil (preferably linseed 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 diculty 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, PowrBeast 7700 / 9700 only) outlet valve ball (10), new or ipped seat (worn side away from ball), and a new seal washer (12) into the displacement rod (6).

7. Clean the threads on the outlet valve housing (13) and coat the threads with blue Loctite #242. Make sure the Loctite is only on the threads.

8. Place the lower packing spring (9) onto the outlet valve housing (13) followed by the spring retainer (8).

9. Screw the displacement rod (6) and the outlet valve housing (13) together. Tighten in a vise to 50 ft./lbs. (68 Nm).

10. Insert the PTFE o-ring (3) into the upper grove of the motor/pump block.

11. Insert the upper packing set (4a) into the motor/pump block with the peak of the “V” packings pointing up toward the motor.

The packings must be soaked in CoolFlo hydraulic oil before installation.

12. Place the upper packing spring (5) into the motor/pump block with the small tapered end facing up toward the motor/pump block.

13. Insert the displacement rod (6) up through the upper packings in the motor/pump block.

14. Align the holes in the displacement rod (6) and the hydraulic piston rod and insert the connecting pin (2). Replace the retaining ring (1) over the connecting pin.

15. PowrBeast 4700 - Thread the long threads of the pump cylinder (16) into the motor/pump block and tighten with a strap wrench.

17. Place the o-ring (21) onto the top grove of the pump cylinder (16).

18. Thread the foot valve housing (23) onto the pump cylinder (16), tighten with a strap wrench.

19. PowrBeast 4700 - Install the siphon tube (26).

It is not necessary to over-tighten the foot valve housing. O-ring seals perform sealing function without excessive tightening. Full thread engagement is sucient.

PowrBeast 4700 - For siphon tube attachment, it is critically important that the threads of the siphon tube t snugly into the foot valve housing with the tube PTFE taped and sealed to prevent air leakage.

7.10 REPLACING THE BELT

PowrBeast

Before replacing the belt on your unit, make sure you have performed the “Pressure Relief Procedure” as illustrated in the Operation section of this manual. DO NOT attempt this repair while the unit is running.

The graphics below show a unit with a gas engine. All instructions given in this section will apply to both gas engine models and electric motor models except where noted.

1. Remove the three screws and washers (1) that secure the top shroud (2) to the cart frame. Remove the shroud.

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 suciently cool before touching it.

2. Remove the front screw (3) and the bottom screw (4) that secures the lower shroud to the main unit. Remove the entire shroud.

3. Carefully insert the driver end of a screwdriver in between the belt and upper pulley as shown (g. 31).

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.
