cleaning the Spray Tip
1. Flush the gun with solvent immediately after the work is
completed.
2. Oil the sliding pins to prevent them from seizing up.
Should the spray tip become clogged,
reverse the spray tip with the lever and pull
the trigger. Once the obstruction comes out
of the spray tip, release the trigger, reverse
the spray tip back to the spray pattern
setting, and resume spraying.
Do not attempt to clean the tip
with your finger.
Do not use a needle or other
sharp pointed instrument
to clean the tip. The hard
tungsten carbide is brittle and
can be chipped.
maintenance
Before proceeding, follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure outlined previously in this manual.
Additionally, follow all other warnings to reduce the
risk of an injection injury, injury from moving parts or
electric shock.
NOTE: All Honda engine work should be performed by a
Honda authorized service center.

maintaining the Engine
When transporting a sprayer with a gas engine, make
sure the fuel is shut off.
NOTE: For detailed engine specifications and maintenance,
refer to the separate engine manual supplied with
this sprayer.
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 .025” 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 fill the gas tank.
• After the first 20 hours of operation (or 1 month), drain the oil
and refill with clean oil. Check the engine oil level and fill as
necessary.
Weekly
• Remove the cover of the air filter and clean the element.
Replace the element if necessary. If operating in an unusually
dusty environment, check the filter daily and replace if
necessary. (Replacement elements can be purchased from
your local Titan dealer.)
• After each 50 hours (or 3 months) of operation: Change the
engine oil.
Spark Plug
