Operation
1. Repeat above Startup procedure with paint material. Lock
gun trigger and attach spray tip. See the Technical Data
Sheet on the gun provided for installation and selection of
the proper tip size.
2. Test spray pattern. Operate the pump at the lowest air
gauge reading which provides good atomization.
See the Troubleshooting guide if you are not getting the
proper pattern.
3. When restarting the unit, reduce the pressure at the air
regulator and open the pressure bleed valve.
Pressure Relief Procedure
Always reduce fluid pressure when you are
cleaning a clogged tip, changing a tip, servicing
any part of the system, or shutting down. Follow
the steps below.
1. Engage the gun trigger lock.
2. Close the self-relieving vented shutoff valve.
3. Open the pressure bleed valve by turning it counter-
clockwise three full turns.
4. Disengage the gun trigger lock and hold trigger open until
owof material stops.
Cleaning a Clogged Tip
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.
1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure outlined above.
2. Lock the gun trigger.
3. Unscrew the nozzle cap and remove the spray tip. Wash
the tip in solvent and use a tip probe to remove any
clogged material.
4. If the gun is equipped with a Titan TAC 5™ Assembly, see
Technical Data Manual 150:99 for instructions.
5. Release the gun trigger lock and spray briey into a waste
container to ush out any clogged particles.
6. Reset the trigger lock in the “Trigger Locked” position.
Release the trigger lock and resume spraying.
Color Change / Clean Out
IMPORTANT: Use only compatible solvents when cleaning
out oil based enamels, lacquers, coal tar, and epoxies.
Check with the fluid manufacturer for a recommended
solvent.
1. Reduce pressure by following the Pressure Relief
Procedure.
The pressure bleed valve should be turned counter-
clockwise three full turns.
2. Pull the siphon tube out of the material container.
3. Remove the spray tip from the gun. Hold the gun trigger
open until material ow stops.
4. Put siphon tube into wash solvent or water as applicable,
and operate pump slowly at low pressure until solvent
ows freely from pressure bleed valve line.
5. Close pressure bleed valve and hold gun trigger open
until solvent ows freely from gun. If solvent is not too
dirty, recirculate it by owing gun stream back into solvent
container. Use additional clean solvent and repeat
procedure if necessary.
6. If your model is equipped with a gun strainer screen and
pump outlet lter, check them daily. Use 50 mesh screens
with spray tip size .018 and larger. Use 100 or 200 mesh
screens with spray tip sizes .015 and smaller. Always
check the materials manufacturer’s recommendations for
proper ltration requirements.
7. On models with a outlet paint lter, replace paint lter cap
by turning clockwise. The lter cover should be hand
removable after the rst or second use with a new PTFE
O-ring.
IMPORTANT: O-ring must have PTFE backup washer to seal
properly.
8. If unit has been spraying a water soluble material, ush
with water and then repeat procedure with mineral spirits
or similar solvent.
9. Wash spray tip and preorice in solvent. Blow tip clean
with air pressure directed through the tip in the reverse
direction. Store preorice and tips in clean place.
