immediately.
The maximum operating range of the sprayer is 3300 PSI / 22.8
MPa uid 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 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 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 ushing 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.

• Always ush unit into a separate metal container, at low
pump pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun rmly
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.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with
a ashpoint below 70ºF (21ºC). Flashpoint is the
temperature that a uid can produce enough vapors to
ignite.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose a spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying ammable materials.
• Use lowest possible pressure to ush equipment.
• Do not spray onto pump assembly.

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.
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.
This equipment produces a fluid stream at extremely
high pressure. Read and understand the warnings
in the Safety Precautions section at the front of this
manual before operating this equipment.

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%.
Spraying
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 orice. If there is an insufcient amount
of paint 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
1. Be sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of
objects with sharp cutting edges.
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its to
its lowest setting.
3. Turn 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
ow 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 ne spray.
