Safety Precautions
WARNING
Do not use equipment before reading this section
Never operate this unit unless it is properly grounded. A fire or explosion hazard is present when spraying flammable materials. Please read and understand the following steps to assure safe operation of your sprayer.
1. Always keep spray area well ventilated. Always keep the compressor a minimum of 20 feet from spray activity.
Form No. 313-1564, REV A © 2000 Titan Tool Inc. All rights reserved. 1
2. Always follow the coating or solvent manufacturer’s safety precautions and warnings.
3. Never spray flammable materials near open flames, pilot lights or any other source of ignition.
4. Always wear spray masks and protective eye wear while spraying.
5. Never alter or modify any part of this equipment; doing so could cause it to malfunction.
6. Never attempt to service or disassemble the compressor while it is plugged in.
7. Never attempt to clean the exterior of the compressor while plugged in. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN – STORE INDOORS
8. Never point the spray gun at anyone or any part of the body.
9. Never leave equipment unattended. Keep away from children or anyone not familiar with the operation of spray equipment.
10. Never remove lid of pressure pot without relieving pressure first.
11. Never exceed 50 psi in pressure pot.
12. Do not use halogenated hydrocarbons in Titan equipment.
Startup Procedures
Prepare the Paint
1. Prepare the material to be sprayed according to paint manufacturers recommendations.
2. Strain the paint before each use. 770-119 Cone Strainer provided.
3. Thin the material to be sprayed with the recommended solvent. Most materials need to be thinned to obtain spraying consistency. To achieve the proper viscosity for spraying, either a viscosity cup can be used or trial and error.
4. If a viscosity cup is not available, thin the materials to a point where you will achieve a one second interval between drops after a paint stick has been inserted and removed from paint.
Gun and Compressor Set-Up
1. With the compressor switch in the off position, plug into a grounded outlet at least 20 feet from spray activity.
2. Attach air atomizing hose to compressor.
3. Attach one end of the fluid hose to the gun and the other end to the pressure pot. Attach the air hose to the bottom of the gun. Make sure that everything is secure before spraying.
Spray Gun Adjustments
The “ProFinish” gun comes equipped with a .051 fluid nozzle and needle and our “#0A” medium air cap. Always test your spray pattern on a test surface before you begin to work.
1. Fan size adjustment is controlled by turning air cap retainer ring. Clockwise will increase fan width, counterclockwise will decrease fan width.
2. Top knob controls the air volume. Clockwise will decrease air flow.
3. A round, horizontal or vertical fan pattern can be achieved by rotating air cap as shown by the diagrams below.
4. A round pattern will require less material flow than a wide pattern. Lower knob clockwise will decrease fluid flow; counter­clockwise will increase fluid flow.
Fluid Nozzle / Needle / Air Cap Selection
If after all of the appropriate adjustments are made poor results are obtained, it may be necessary to change to a different fluid nozzle / needle or air cap. Refer to our selection chart to match the appropriate components to the material being sprayed.
NOTE: The smaller the nozzle size the
greater atomization.
1. To change fluid nozzle and tip remove air cap (102) and retainer ring (101).
2. Squeeze trigger and with a wrench remove fluid tip (105). (Use Fluid Tip Tool 773­134, supplied, not shown)
3. Remove Adjustment Knob (128). Remove Spring (127) and Needle (126)D. Reassemble in reverse order 1 thru 3.
NOTE: Never use lubricants containing
silicones. Silicones will adversely affect spray finishes and is difficult to remove once on equipment.
Application Techniques
The following techniques are recommended to assure professional painting results. Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface and always at an equal distance of approximately 6”-8”.
Move the gun either across or up and down the surface at a steady rate. Moving the gun at a consistent speed provides even coverage. The correct spraying speed allows for a full wet coat of material without runs or sags. Do not angle the gun as this will cause uneven paint build-up, runs or sags. Begin movement of the gun before the trigger is pulled.
RIGHT
Proper lapping (overlap of spray pattern) is essential to an even finish. Overlap your strokes about 50%.
WRONG
Problem Probable Cause
Orange Peel Material is too viscous Thin Material
Runs and Sags Too much solvent Add material
Blushing Fast drying thinner Add retarder Pin Holing and Solvent Pops Trapped solvents Reduce fluid flow and apply
Blistering Surface not primed properly Use appropriate primer
Coarse Finish Improper cleaning of surface Clean immediately before
Troubleshooting — Finish Problems
Cleaning Procedures
The Titan Pro-Finish system has been constructed with the finest materials to assure trouble free operation and durability. However, like any paint tool, proper cleaning is essential for optimum performance to be maintained. Always clean thoroughly after each use.
1. Pour remaining material in the pressure pot back into the original container. For single component materials ONLY. For catalyzed material, consult coating manufacturer's recommendation.
2. Pour a small amount of the appproriate solvent for the type of material you are spraying into the pressure pot. Swirl the solvent around in the pot and empty.
3. Thoroughly clean the interior of the pressure pot and wipe dry.
4. Pour a small amount of solvent into pressure pot and spray through the gun to clean fluid nozzle and needle.
5. After extended use, it might be necessary to remove the fluid nozzle, needle, and air cap to clean by hand, with a soft brush. (Part No. 770-118 provided). Do not use a wire brush or hard tools that could damage the components. Also clean the inside of the gun with solvent and a soft brush. Reassemble gun and test with mineral spirits.
6. Clean the exterior of the gun using solvent. NEVER soak the gun in solvent. Some solvents can damage internal seals.
7. Check filter on compressor, clean or replace. (Never use solvent to clean compressor filter, blow clean with compressed air or replace.)
NOTE: If service is required on the
compressor, refer to the service center listing enclosed or call 1-800­526-5362 for assistance.
Please dispose of cleaning solvent and unused coatings in an environmentally safe fashion. Consult with material manufacturer on proper procedure.
