This symbol indicates a hazardous situation,
which, if not not avoided could result in death or
serious injury.
To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical
shock, and the injury to persons, read and
understand all instructions included in this manual.
Be familiar with the controls and the proper usage
of the equipment.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire or
explosion:
1. Do not spray ammable or combustible
materials near an open ame, pilot lights
or sources of ignition such as hot objects,
cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment and
electrical appliances. Avoid creating sparks
from connecting and disconnecting power cords.
2. For units intended for use with only water-based materials
— Do not spray or clean with ammable liquids. For use
with water-based liquids only.
3. For units intended for use with only water-based or mineral
spirit-type materials with a minimum ash point of 21ºC
(69.8ºF) — Do not spray or clean with liquids having a
ash point of less than 21ºC (69.8ºF). Flash point is the
temperature at which a uid can produce enough vapor to
ignite.
4. Paint or solvent owing through the equipment is able to
result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of
re or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes.
All parts of the spray system, including the pump, hose
assembly, spray gun and objects in and around the spray
area shall be properly grounded to protect against static
discharge and sparks. Use only conductive or grounded
high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses specied by the
manufacturer.
5. Verify that all containers and collection systems are
grounded to prevent static discharge.
6. Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension
cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
7. 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.
8. Keep spray area well ventilated. 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.
9. Do not smoke in the spray area.
10. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark
producing products in the spray area.
11. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers,

Follow the paint and solvent manufacture’s safety
instructions.
13. Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) from the
spray object in a well ventilated area (add more hose if
necessary). Flammable vapors are often heavier than
air. Floor area must be extremely well ventilated. The
pump contains arcing parts that emit sparks and can ignite
vapors.
14. Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying ammable material.
15. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of skin
injection:
HAZARD:
Injection injury – A high pressure fluid stream produced by

leading to a serious injury and possible amputation. See a
physician immediately. DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION AS A
SIMPLE CUT.
1. Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
2. Keep hands and other body parts away from the
discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any
part of the body.
3. Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without the
nozzle tip guard in place.
4. Only use a nozzle tip specied by the manufacturer.
5. Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In
the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying,
ALWAYS lock gun trigger, shut pump off, and release
all pressure before servicing, cleaning tip or guard, or
changing tip. Pressure will not be released by turning off
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.
6. Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while
unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the
unit and relieve the pressure in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify
the trigger lock is functioning properly.
11. Verify that all connections are secure before operating the
unit.
12. Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls. Pressure will not be
released by turning off 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.

Grounding Instructions
Electric models 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.
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.

Operation
Operating the Swing Cart
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 ames or sparks in the refueling
area or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overll 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 Specications
• 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.
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 efciently.
Use caution when operating the swing cart. Keep
fingers and feet clear of moving parts.
The swing cart allows the motor/pump assembly to be rotated
between two positions.
Position #1: Working Position
The vertical position of the motor/pump assembly is the working
position. This position allows complete submersion of the siphon
tube/foot valve on the uid section into a paint bucket. The
maximum height paint bucket that can be used is 28 1/8” (71.4
cm).
Position #2: Transporting Position
The horizontal position of the motor/pump assembly is the
transporting position. This position allows easy removal of
the paint bucket and creates a sprayer height of 30” (76.2
cm) for ease of transportation.
• 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.
NOTE: 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.
Use the following procedure to change the position of the motor/
pump assembly.
1. Holding the handle grip with one hand, pull the locking
pin out of the locking hole on the cart with the other hand.
This allows the motor/pump assembly mounted on the
swing cart frame to move from one position to the other.
2. Let go of the locking pin once it is free of the locking hole.
3. Move the motor/pump assembly to the desired position.
The locking pin is spring loaded and will automatically
engage the locking hole on the swing cart at the new
position.

1. Make sure the bleed hose is threaded into the bleed valve.
It has factory installed 37)( tape on the tting and should
be tightened wrench tight.
2. Attach a minimum of 50’ of nylon airless spray hose to the
outlet tting. Do not use 37)( tape or thread sealant on
the spray hose connection.
3. Attach an airless spray gun to the spray hose. Do not
attach the tip to the spray gun yet. Remove the tip if it is
already attached.
4. Fill the oil cup 1/2 full with Titan Piston Lube (P/N 314-
480) supplied by the factory. This extends packing life.
5. Check the hydraulic uid level daily before starting the
sprayer. The hydraulic uid level should be at the “Full”
mark on the dipstick. Refer to the Maintenance section of
this manual for hydraulic system maintenance instructions.
IMPORTANT: Use of Titan’s Coolflo™ Hydraulic Fluid (P/N
430-361) is mandatory in the hydraulic system. Do not use
any other hydraulic fluid. Use of any other hydraulic fluid
may seriously damage the hydraulic system and will void
the warranty.
6. For gas models, check the engine oil level daily before
starting the sprayer. The gasoline engine oil level is
determined by the engine manufacturer. Refer to the
engine manufacturer’s service manual supplied with this
sprayer.
7. For electric models, use a 20 amp service outlet. Always
locate the electric model within 10 to 15 feet of the service
outlet. Use a short electric cable and a long paint hose.
Any extension cord will create some voltage drop. If an
extension cord is necessary, use only a grounded 3-wire
#12 gauge extension cord.
NOTE: If the sprayer is being operated in an area that is
Read, understand, and follow all warnings before
starting or operating this sprayer.
products, removal of the inlet screen in the foot
valve of the PowrTex 6900 SF may be necessary.
This will allow proper priming and ow of the
textured product. Refer to “Cleaning the Inlet
Screen” in the Maintenance section of this
manual for removal instructions.
overloaded by other appliances or low voltage
conditions, it is important to start the sprayer
“unloaded.” Tip the electric motor forward so
that the belt is loosened and the motor starts
without full load. This reduces the amperage
draw on starting and may avoid tripping the
circuit breaker.
8. Make sure the sprayer is grounded. All sprayers are
equipped with a grounding lug. A grounding cable (not
supplied) should be used to connect the sprayer to a true
earth ground. Check your local electrical regulations for
detailed grounding instructions. See the Accessories
and Service Kits section near the back of this manual for
grounding cable ordering information.
IMPORTANT: 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 vapors present and create an explosion.
9. Strain all paints with a nylon strainer to ensure trouble free
operation and freedom from frequent cleaning of the inlet
screen and gun lter.
10 Make sure the spray area is 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 sprayer outside the
immediate spraying area. Failure to do so may
cause an explosion.
11. Locate the sprayer outside the immediate spraying area
to avoid clogged air intake of the engine or electric motor
with overspray.
Preparing a new sprayer
If this sprayer is new, it is shipped with test uid in the uid
section to prevent corrosion during shipment and storage. This
uid must be thoroughly cleaned out of the system with mineral
spirits before you begin spraying.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun
in the locked position while preparing the system.
1. Place the foot valve/shovel valve into a container of
mineral spirits that has a ash point of 140ºF (60ºC) or
above.
2. Place the bleed hose into a metal waste container.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise.
4. Open the hydraulic shut-off valve located on the hydraulic
pressure hose. The handle should be in line with the
hose.
5. Open the bleed valve by turning the bleed valve knob fully
counterclockwise.
6. Start the engine or turn on the electric motor.

container, place it into an empty ve gallon container, then
ush solvents.
• Area must be free of ammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
IMPORTANT: The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned
thoroughly after daily use. Failure to do so permits material
to build up, seriously affecting the performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum pressure with the gun
nozzle tip removed when using mineral spirits or
any other solvent to clean the sprayer, hose, or
gun. Static electricity buildup may result in a fire
or explosion in the presence of flammable vapors.

section of this manual.
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.
3. 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 flow from the spray tip is at very high pressure.
Contact with any body part may be dangerous. Do
not place finger on gun outlet. Do not point the
gun at any person. Never operate the spray gun
without the proper tip guard.

Daily Maintenance
Two daily procedures are required for routine operator
maintenance on this sprayer:
1. Lubricating the upper packings.
2. Cleaning the rock catcher.
Cleaning the Inlet Screen (PowrTex 6900 SF)
The inlet screen will clog and must be
cleaned at least once a day.
1. Remove the retaining ring from the
foot valve housing
2. Remove the inlet screen from the
Foot valve housing.
3. Clean thoroughly with the
appropriate solvent.
Lubricating the Upper Packings
1. Clean out the paint that has seeped
past the upper packings into the
packing oil reservoir above the uid
section.
2. Fill the packing oil reservoir 1/2 full with
Piston Lube (P/N 314-480) supplied by
the factory. This will extend packing
life.
NOTE: Do not over-ll the reservoir
so that it overows and drips
into the paint.

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 suction by pouring some
of the paint solvent into the siphon tube to restart. 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).

Basic Engine Maintenance (gas engine)
• For detailed engine maintenance and technical
specications refer to the separate gasoline engine
manual.
• All service to the engine should be performed by a dealer
authorized by the engine manufacturer. To locate a dealer
in your area, look in the Yellow Pages of your telephone
directory under Gasoline Engines, Garden & Lawn
Equipment & Supplies, Lawn Mowers, etc.
• The gas engine is warranted exclusively by the engine
manufacturer.
• Use a premium quality motor oil certied to meet or
exceed U.S. Automotive requirement SG.or SF. SAE
10W30 is recommended for general all temperature use.
Other viscosities may be required in other climates.
• Use only a (NGK) BP6ES or BPR6E spark plug. Gap the
plug to 0.028 to 0.031 In. (0.7 to 0.8 mm) Always use a
spark plug wrench.
Daily
1. Check engine oil level, and ll as necessary.
2. Check gasoline level, and ll as necessary.
Always follow the fueling procedure outlined earlier
in this manual.
First 20 Hours
1. Change engine oil.
Every 100 Hours
1. Change engine oil.
2. Clean the sediment cup.
3. Clean and re-gap the spark plug.
4. Clean the spark arrestor.
Weekly
1. 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 Honda dealer.
Engine Operation and Service
1. Clean and oil air lter pad on gasoline engine every 25
hours or once weekly. Do not permit the air intake screen
around the y wheel of the gas engine to load up with
paint or trash. Clean it regularly. The service life and
efciency of the gas engine model depends upon keeping
the gasoline engine running properly. Change the oil
in the engine every 100 hours. Failure to observe this
may result in engine overheating. Consult the engine
manufacturer’s service manual provided.
2. To conserve fuel, service life, and efciency 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.
3. The warranty on gasoline engines or electric motors is
limited to the original manufacturer.
