SET UP
WARNING: READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL WARN-
INGS ON PAGES 4 - 7 BEFORE STARTING OR OPERATING
THIS SPRAYER
Required tools: Crescent Wrench
1. Connecting the Hoses:
The syphon hose and the bleed line hose have factory installed
37)(
tape on the male end of the hoses. Tighten the syphon hose
and bleed line wrench tight. See Figure 1.
2. One Gun Operation - Attach the gun and hose. Always use a
spray hose at least 50 feet long. Do not use
37)(
or thread
sealant on this assembly. Do not install the spray tip at this time.
3. Two Gun Operation - Remove the plug from the second gun out-
let. Connect a hose and a gun to the outlet.
4. Multiple Gun Operation - The PowrTwin 5500™ is engineered to
handle up to 3 guns with 0.23" tips. When using more than two
guns, make sure the second gun hookup outlet is plugged.
Connect the multiple gun manifold to the single gun outlet. These
manifolds are for either 2, 3, or 4-guns and have shut off valves.
Connect a hose and gun to each outlet. See Figure 2.
5. Fill the Wet-Cup 1/2 full with Titan/Speeflo's Piston Lube, Part
No. 700-925, supplied by the factory. This extends packing life.
6.
Electric Models -
Use a 20 amp service outlet. Always locate
the AC electric model within 10 to 15 feet of the service outlet. Use
a short electric cable and a long paint hose. Any extension cord
will create some voltage drop. For both AC and DC models, if an
extension cord is necessary, use only grounded 3 wire # 12 wire.
If the unit is being operated in an area that is overloaded by
other appliances or low voltage conditions, it is important to start
the unit "unloaded." Tip the electric motor forward so that the belt
is loosened and the motor starts without full load. This reduces the
amperage draw on starting and may avoid kicking out the circuit
breaker.
7. Be sure the PowrTwin system is grounded. All Titan/Speeflo
units are equipped with a grounding lug. A grounding cable (not
supplied) should be used to connect the unit to a true earth
ground. Check your local electrical regulations for detailed ground-
ing instructions. See Accessories, Page 31, for ordering informa-
tion.
8. Strain all paints with Titan/Speeflo # 160-524 5 gallon Nylon
Strainer or Titan/Speeflo # 160-124 1 gallon Nylon Strainer to
assure trouble free operation and freedom from frequent cleaning
of inlet screen and gun strainer.
WARNING: Proper grounding is important. This applies to
both gas and electric powered models. The passage of some
materials through the nylon fluid hose will build up a static
electric charge, which if discharged, could ignite solvent
vapors present and create an explosion.
FUELING
WARNING: Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.
1. ALWAYS turn the engine off before refueling.
2. Refuel in a well-ventilated area.
3. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the refueling
area or where gasoline is stored.
4. Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the
tank cap is closed properly and securely.
5. 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.
6. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing
of vapor.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Specifications:
Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane number of 86
or higher, or that has a research octane number of 91 or higher.
Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits
and extends the life of exhaust system components.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline
mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank. 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.
NOTE:
If "spark knock" or "pinging" occurs at a steady engine
speed under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark
knock or pinging persists, consult your authorized Honda dealer.
Failure to do so is considered misuse, and damage caused by mis-
use is not covered by Honda's Limited Warranty.
Occasionally you may experience light spark knock while operating
under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern, it simply means
your engine is operating efficiently.
