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 proper usage of the
equipment.
HAZARD: INJECTION INJURY
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
DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE
CUT! Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician
immediately
The maximum operating range of the sprayer is 3300 PSI / 22.8
MPa fluid pressure.
PREVENTION:
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream.
DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the fluid 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 pump off, and
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip or
guard, changing tip, or leaving unattended. 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 the PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE described in this manual.
• ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The
tip guard provides some protection but is mainly a
warning device.
• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning
the system.
• Paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and
abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect
the hose before each use. Do not use hose to lift or pull
equipment.
• NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock
and trigger guard in place.
• All accessories must be rated at or above 3300 PSI / 22.8
MPa. This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
• 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
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described in this
manual.
• Verify that all connections are secure before operating the
unit. Unsecured parts may eject at great force or leak a
high pressure fluid stream causing severe injury.
• Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify
the trigger lock is functioning properly.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. 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.

• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working
order.
• 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.
• The equipment and objects in and around the spray area
must be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers,
rags and other flammable materials.
• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hose.
Gun must be grounded through hose connections.
• For electric units — power cord must be connected to a
grounded circuit.
• Always flush unit into a separate metal container, at low
pump pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly
against side of container to ground container and prevent
static sparks.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's warnings
and instructions. Know the contents of the paints 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.

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.
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 flat 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 qualified 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 fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
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-
after the cord type designation. For example, a
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.

Pressure Indicator
The pressure indicator shows the current operating pressure of
the sprayer. It has three different indications: blinking yellow,
solid yellow, and solid green.
Blinking Yellow
When the pressure indicator is blinking yellow, the sprayer is
operating between 0 and 200 PSI.
indicator means:
• The sprayer is plugged in and turned “ON”
• The sprayer is at priming pressure (little or no pressure)
• It is safe to move the PRIME/SPRAY valve between
positions
• It is safe to change or replace the spray tip
NOTE: If the pressure indicator begins blinking yellow
when the pressure control knob is set at a
higher pressure and the PRIME/SPRAY valve is
in the SPRAY position, either the spray tip is
worn or the 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.
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.
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

ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
3. Turn the pressure control knob
counterclockwise to its OFF position in
the black zone.
4. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
5. Hold the metal part of the gun firmly to
the side of a metal container to ground
the gun and avoid a build up of static
electricity.
6. Trigger the gun to remove any pressure
that may still be in the hose.
7. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger
lock to the locked position.
8. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to
the PRIME position.
Enter the old security code
number to access the screen
that allows the code change.
If the wrong code is entered, the display will continue to ask
for the correct code and the security code cannot be changed.
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.
Spraying Technique
The following techniques, if followed, will assure professional
painting results.
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 paint to be applied without runs
or sags.
Holding the gun closer to the surface deposits more paint 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 paint occur,
change to a spray tip with a smaller orifice. If there is an
insufficient amount of paint on the surface or you desire to
spray faster, a larger orifice 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.
Proper lapping (overlap of spray pattern) is essential to an
even finish. 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%.
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 firmly 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 finish.
Practice
1. Be sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of
objects with sharp cutting edges.
2. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob to the “Min” setting in the yellow zone.
3. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to its SPRAY position.
4. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its highest
setting. The paint hose should stiffen as paint begins to
flow through it.
5. Unlock the gun trigger lock.
6. Trigger the spray gun to bleed air out of the hose.
7. When paint reaches the spray tip, spray a test area to
check the spray pattern.
8. Use the lowest pressure
setting necessary to get a
good spray pattern. If the
pressure is set too high, the
spray pattern will be too light.
If the pressure is set too low,
tailing will appear or the paint
will spatter out in gobs rather
than in a fine spray.
Special cleanup instructions for use with
flammable solvents:
• Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon container, then
flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable 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.
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
