Read all safety information before operating the
equipment. Save these instructions.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
To reduce the risks of re or explosion, electrical shock
and the injury to persons, read and understand all
instructions included in this manual. Be familiar with the
controls and proper usage of the equipment.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING Improper installation of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the green grounding wire to either at blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without
yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the
grounding pin.
Check with a qualied electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt
as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided. If the plug will not t the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
WARNING: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Flammable vapors, such as solvent and paint 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.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a ashpoint
below 100ºF (38ºC). Flashpoint is the temperature that a uid
can produce enough vapors to ignite.
• 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.
• 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 (MSDS) 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.
IMPORTANT: Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. A 12 gauge cord is recommended. If
an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with
the suffix W-A after the cord type designation. For example, a
designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would be
appropriate for outdoor use.
IMPORTANT: When the sprayer is used with a generator
or uncontrolled line voltage, the use of Titan’s “Line Surge
Protector” (P/N 800-935) is recommended.
A high pressure paint stream produced by this equipment
can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to
serious injury and possible amputation. See a physician
immediately.
PREVENTION:
• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For
example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the body.
• Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without the
nozzle tip guard in place.
• Only use a nozzle tip specied by the manufacturer.
• Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the
case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying,
ALWAYS lock gun trigger, shut pump o, and release all
pressure before servicing, cleaning tip or guard, or changing
tip. Pressure will not be released by turning o the motor.
The PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must be
turned to their appropriate positions to relieve system
pressure. Refer to PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described in
the pump manual.
• Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while
unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn o the unit and
relieve the pressure in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and
cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection occurs,
seek medical attention immediately.
Important Safety Information
• Check hoses and parts for signs of damage, a leak can inject
material into the skin. Inspect hose before each use. Replace
any damaged hoses or parts.
• This system is capable of producing 3300 PSI / 22.8 MPa. Only
use replacement parts or accessories that are specied by the
manufacturer and that are rated a minimum of 3300 PSI. This
includes spray tips, nozzle guards, guns, extensions, ttings,
and hose.
• Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the
trigger lock is functioning properly.
• Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit.
• Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls. Pressure will not be
released by turning o the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve
or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate
positions to relieve system pressure. Refer to PRESSURE
RELIEF PROCEDURE described in the pump manual.
• Always remove the spray tip before ushing or cleaning the
system.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury which can lead
to possible amputation. It is important to treat the injury as
soon as possible. DO NOT delay treatment to research toxicity.
Toxicity is a concern with some coatings injected directly
into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or
reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.
WARNING: GENERAL
Can cause severe injury or property damage.
PREVENTION:
• Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, clothing
and a respirator or mask when painting. Hazardous vapors

sprayer is in need of service/repair.
Solid Yellow
When the pressure indicator is solid yellow, the sprayer is operating
between 201 and 1900 PSI. A solid yellow pressure indicator means:
• The sprayer is at the proper pressure setting for spraying stain,
lacquer, varnish, and multi-colors
• 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:
a.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.
b. 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.
c. 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...).
Solid Green
When the pressure indicator is solid green, the sprayer is operating
between 1901 and 3300 PSI. 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
Motor Running Indicator
The Motor Running indicator is on when the motor is commanded to
run. This indicator is used by service centers to troubleshoot motor
problems.

POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD. Do not spray without
the tip guard in place. Never trigger the gun unless
the tip is in either the spray or the unclog position.
Always engage the gun trigger lock before removing,
replacing, or cleaning tip.
The following techniques, if followed, will assure professional
painting results.
Proper lapping (overlap of spray pattern) is essential to an even nish.
Lap each stroke. If you are spraying horizontally, aim at the bottom
edge of the preceding stroke, so as to lap the previous pattern by
50%.
Overlap edges
NOTE: Modied spraying techniques may be necessary
when spraying textured products. This may include
adjustment to gun position, spraying distance,
and pressure settings as well as the addition of a
splatter nozzle.
Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface and always at equal
distance from the surface. Depending on the type of material,
surface, or desired spray pattern, the gun should be held at a distance
of 12 to 14 inches (30 to 35 cm).
Move the gun either across or up and down the surface at a steady
rate. Moving the gun at a consistent speed conserves material and
provides even coverage. The correct spraying speed allows a full, wet
coat of material to be applied without runs or sags.
Holding the gun closer to the surface deposits more material on the
surface and produces a narrower spray pattern. Holding the gun
farther from the surface produces a thinner coat and wider spray
pattern. If runs, sags, or excessive material occur, change to a spray
tip with a smaller orice. If there is an insucient amount of material
on the surface or you desire to spray faster, a larger orice tip should
be selected.
Maintain uniform spray stroke action. Spray alternately from left to
right and right to left. Begin movement of the gun before the trigger
is pulled.

For corners and edges, split the
center of the spray pattern on the
corner or edge and spray vertically
so that both adjoining sections
receive approximately even
amounts of paint.
When spraying with a shield, hold
it rmly against the surface. Angle the spray gun slightly away from
the shield and toward the surface. This will prevent paint from being
forced underneath.
Shrubs next to houses should be tied back and covered with a canvas
cloth. The cloth should be removed as soon as possible. Titan gun
extensions are extremely helpful in these situations.
Nearby objects such as automobiles, outdoor furniture, etc. should
be moved or covered whenever in the vicinity of a spray job. Be
careful of any other surrounding objects that could be damaged by
overspray.
Avoid arcing or holding the gun at an angle. This will result in an
uneven nish.
