Operation

Fueling (gas engine)

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.

• ALWAYS turn the engine o 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 overll 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 Specications

• 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.

• 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 cosolvents 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, conrm 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.

Setup

Perform the following procedure before starting the engine of a gaspowered sprayer.

1. Ensure that the siphon tube and the return hose are attached and secure.

2. Attach the supplied grounding cable to a grounded object.

3. Using a wrench, attach a minimum of 50’ of 1/4” nylon airless spray hose to the outlet tting on the sprayer. Tighten securely.

4. Attach an airless spray gun to the spray hose. Using two wrenches (one on the gun and one on the hose), tighten securely.

NOTE: Do not attach the tip to the spray gun yet. Remove

the tip if it is already attached.

Make sure all airless hoses and spray guns are electrically grounded and rated at or above the maximum operating pressure range of the airless sprayer.

5. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its lowest pressure setting.

6. Make sure the sprayer ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.

NOTE: If “spark knock” or “pinging” occurs at a steady

Spraying Technique

The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire surface. This is done by using even strokes. Keep your arm moving at a constant speed and keep the spray gun at a constant distance from the surface. The best spraying distance is 10 to 12 inches between the spray tip and the surface.

Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means moving your entire arm back and forth rather than just exing your wrist.

Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one end of the pattern will be thicker than the other.

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. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the SPRAY position.

4. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its highest setting. The paint hose should stien 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.

Important Facts Concerning this Sprayer

This gas-powered sprayer contains a clutch that engages when the sprayer is pumping. The sprayer’s pressure control system engages and disengages the clutch to control pressure. To prevent unnecessary wear to the clutch, it is advisable to adjust the engine speed and pressure setting to limit the amount of times the clutch engages and disengages. To reduce clutch wear, refer to the following examples.

Example:

Operating one gun with a .019 tip — reduce the engine speed by adjusting the throttle to a low or medium setting and increase pressure only until the heavy ends of the spray pattern have been eliminated.

Example:

Operating one gun with .029 tip — increase engine speed to a higher setting and increase pressure until the heavy ends of the spray pattern have been eliminated.

Example:

Spraying light-bodied materials at low pressure — to reduce surging at the gun and to decrease clutch wear, reduce the engine speed to idle and reduce pressure until the desired spray pattern is achieved.

Routine Engine Maintenance

Daily

• Check and ll the gas tank.

• After the rst 20 hours of operation, drain the oil and rell

with clean oil. Check the engine oil level and ll as necessary.

Weekly

• Remove the cover of the air lter and clean the element.

Replace the element if necessary. If operating in an unusually dusty environment, check the lter daily and replace if necessary. (Replacement elements can be purchased from your local Titan dealer.)

• After each 50 hours of operation: Change the engine oil.

Spark Plug

• Use only a (NKG) BR6HS or Champion RL86C plug.

• Gap the plug 0.020” – 0.030”

• Make sure to use a spark plug wrench when installing and

removing the plug.

2. Thread the four hex screws and lock washers through the clutch housing and into the gear housing.

3. Using a 12 point, 5/16” wrench, snug and tighten the hex screws in a crossing pattern. Torque to 140–155 in./lbs.

4. Using a 9/16” socket, thread the hex screw that secures the gear housing to the cart through the underside of the cart and into the gear housing. Torque to 100–120 in./lbs.

5. Connect the wire from the EPC housing to its mating connector on the engine wire harness.

Checking the Clutch Gap

1. Remove the plastic plug from the top of the clutch housing. Look through the port to locate the clutch armature and the clutch rotor.

2. Check the gap between the clutch armature and the clutch rotor using a .016” feeler gauge and a .035” feeler gauge.

a. Insert each feeler gauge through the port and into the gap between

the clutch armature and the clutch rotor. The .016” feeler gauge should t in the gap. The .035” feeler gauge should not t in the gap.

b. Pull the engine pull cord several times to rotate the clutch armature,

checking the gap with each feeler gauge between each pull.

c. If the .016” gauge does not t or the .035” gauge does t at any

checkpoint, the gap must be readjusted. This is done by relocating the clutch hub and armature assembly on the engine shaft. Refer to the “Removing/Replacing the Clutch Armature Assembly” procedure.

Servicing the Fluid Section

Use the following procedures to service the valves and repack the uid section.

1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the four front cover screws. Remove the front cover.

Consignes de sécurite important

Lire toutes ces consignes avant d’utiliser l’appareil. Garder ces consignes.

Indique une situation à risque, laquelle, si elle n’est pas évitée, peut entraîner des blessures graves, voire la mort.

Pour réduire les risques d’incendie ou d’explosion, de choc électrique et de blessure, vous devez lire et comprendre les directives gurant dans ce manuel. Familiarisez-vous avec les commandes et l’utilisation adéquate de l’équipement.

MISE EN GARDE : EXPLOSION OU INCENDIE Les vapeurs inammables, telles que les vapeurs

de solvant et de peinture, dans une zone de travail peuvent s’enammer ou exploser.

MESURES PRÉVENTIVES :

1. Servez-vous de l’équipement dans un endroit bien aéré. Faites circuler beaucoup d’air frais dans l’endroit an d’éviter l’accumulation de vapeurs inammables dans la zone de pulvérisation. Entreposez l’ensemble de la pompe dans un endroit bien aéré. Ne pulvérisez pas l’ensemble de la pompe.

2. Ne faites jamais le plein lorsque le moteur est en marche ou chaud. Éteignez le moteur et laissez-le refroidir. L’essence est inammable. Elle peut s’enammer ou exposer si on en renverse sur une surface chaude.

3. Éliminez toutes les sources d’inammation, comme les veilleuses, les cigarettes, les lampes électriques portatives et les toiles de protection en plastique (risque d’arc statique).

4. Gardez la zone de travail exempte de débris, y compris des solvants, des chions et d’essence.

5. Ne branchez ou ne débranchez pas les cordons d’alimentation, ne mettez pas l’appareil en marche, n’allumez ou n’éteignez pas les lumières lorsque des vapeurs inammables sont présentes.

6. Mettez à terre l’équipement et les objets conducteurs dans la zone de travail. Assurez-vous que le câble de mise à la terre relie la patte de mise à la terre à une prise de terre réelle.

7. Utilisez uniquement des tuyaux mis à la terre.

8. Tenez le pistolet de pulvérisation fermement contre le côté d’un seau mis à la terre lorsque vous pulvérisez dans le seau.

9. S’il y a production d’étincelles statiques ou si vous ressentez un choc, arrêtez le fonctionnement immédiatement.

10. Soyez au courant du contenu de la peinture et des solvants à pulvériser. Lisez toutes les ches signalétiques (FS) et les étiquettes des récipients de peinture et de solvant. Suivez les consignes de sécurité du fabricant de peinture et du solvant.

11. N’utilisez pas de peinture ou de solvant contenant des hydrocarbures hydrogénés, comme du chlore, de l’eau de Javel, un agent anti-moisissure, du chlorure de méthylène et du trichloroéthane. Ils ne sont pas compatibles avec l’aluminium. Communiquez avec le fournisseur de revêtement au sujet de la compatibilité du produit avec l’aluminium.

12. Gardez un extincteur dans la zone de travail.

MISE EN GARDE : INJECTION CUTANÉE

Le jet de haute pression produit par cet appareil peut transpercer la peau et les tissus sous-jacents, causant des blessures graves pouvant entraîner l’amputation.

MESURES PRÉVENTIVES :

1. Ne dirigez pas le pistolet sur et ne pulvérisez pas les personnes ou les animaux.

2. N’approchez pas les mains ni d’autres parties du corps de la sortie du produit. Par exemple, ne tentez pas d’arrêter une fuite avec une partie du corps.

3. Utilisez toujours le protège-embout de la buse. Ne pulvérisez pas sans que le protège-embout de la buse ne soit installé.

4. Utilisez exclusivement un embout de buse spécié par le fabricant.

5. Prenez garde quand vous nettoyez ou que vous changez les embouts de buse. Si l’embout se bouche pendant que vous pulvérisez, verrouillez TOUJOURS la détente du pistolet, arrêtez la pompe et libérez toute la pression avant de réparer ou de nettoyer l’embout ou le protecteur ou avant de changer d’embout. La pression n’est pas libérée par l’arrêt du moteur. La poignée du robinet-valve PRIME/SPRAY (AMORÇAGE/ PULVÉRISATION) doit être placée sur PRIME pour libérer la pression. Consultez la PROCÉDURE DE LIBÉRATION DE PRESSION décrite dans le manuel de la pompe.

6. Ne laissez pas l’appareil sous tension ou sous pression quand vous vous en éloignez. Quand vous n’utilisez pas l’appareil, éteignez-le et libérez la pression conformément aux instructions du fabricant.

7. La pulvérisation à haute pression peut injecter des toxines dans le corps et causer de graves blessures corporelles. Si une telle injection se produisait, consultez immédiatement un médecin.

8. Vériez les tuyaux et les pièces pour détecter des signes d’endommagement : une fuite peut injecter le produit dans la peau. Inspectez le tuyau avant chaque emploi. Changez tous les tuyaux ou pièces endommagés.

9. Ce système peut produire une pression de 3300 PSI / 22.8 MPa. N’utilisez que les pièces de rechange ou les accessoires spéciés par le fabricant et ayant une pression nominale minimum de 3300 PSI. Ceci est valable pour les embouts de pulvérisation, les protecteurs de buse, les pistolets, les rallonges, les raccords et le tuyau.

10. Verrouillez toujours la détente quand vous ne pulvérisez pas. Vériez que le verrou de la détente fonctionne correctement.

11. Vériez que toutes les connexions sont bien serrées avant d’utiliser l’appareil.
