Inspect the high-pressure hose visually for any notches or
bulges, in particular at the transition in the fittings. It must be
possible to turn the union nuts freely. A conductivity of less
than 1 MΩ must exist across the entire length.
Attention
Have all the electric tests carried by an Authorized
Titan Service Center.
i
The risk of damage rises with the age of the high-
pressure hose.
Titan recommends replacing high-pressure
hoses after 6 years.

BASIc eNgINe mAINTeNANce (gAS eNgINe)
•
For detailed engine maintenance and technical
specifications refer to the separate gasoline engine manual.
•
All service to the engine should be performed by a dealer
authorized by the engine manufacturer.
•
use a premium quality motor oil. 10W30 is recommended
for general all temperature use. Other viscosities may be
required in other climates.
• Use only a (NGK) BP6ES or BPR6E spark plug. Gap the
plug to 0.028 to 0.031 In. (0.7 to 0.8 mm) Always use a
spark plug wrench.
DAIly
1. Check engine oil level, and fill as necessary.
2. Check gasoline level, and fill as necessary.
Always follow the fueling procedure outlined
earlier in this manual.

eNgINe operATIoN AND SerVIce
•
Clean and oil air filter pad on gasoline engine every 25
hours or once weekly. Do not permit the air intake screen
around the fly wheel of the gas engine to load up with paint
or trash. Clean it regularly. The service life and efficiency
of the gas engine model depends upon keeping the
gasoline engine running properly. Change the oil in the
engine every 100 hours. Failure to observe this may result
in engine overheating. Consult the engine manufacturer’s
service manual provided.
•
To conserve fuel, service life, and efficiency of the sprayer,
always operate the gasoline engine at the lowest RPM at
which it runs smoothly without laboring and delivers the
amount required for the particular painting operation.
Higher RPM does not produce higher working pressure.
The gasoline engine is connected to the hydraulic pump
by a pulley combination designed to produce full paint
delivery at maximum RPM.
•
The warranty on gasoline engines or electric motors is
limited to the original manufacturer.
