1.2 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical

short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by

providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product

is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an

appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into

an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper installation of the

grounding plug can result in a risk of electric

shock.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not

connect the green grounding wire to either at blade terminal.

The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with

or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be

connected to the grounding pin.

Check with a qualied electrician or serviceman if the grounding

instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in

doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not

modify the plug provided. If the plug will not t the outlet,

have the proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a

grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make

sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same

conguration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this

product.

At

tention

When the sprayer is used with a generator or

uncontrolled line voltage, the use of Titan’s “Line

Surge Protector” (P/N 800-935) is recommended.

IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

At

tention

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a

3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle

that will accept the plug on the product.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When

using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to

carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord

will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and

overheating.

A 8 or 10 gauge cord is recommended (see chart). If an extension

cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with “SJW” or

“SJTW”. For example, a designation of SJTW would indicate

that the cord would be appropriate for outdoor use.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ELITE 3000

1.3 SAFETY HAZARDS

WARNING: INJECTION INJURY

A high pressure stream produced by this

equipment can pierce the skin and underlying

tissues, leading to serious injury and possible

amputation.

Do not treat a spraying injury as a harmless cut. In

case of injury to the skin through coating materials

or solvents, consult a doctor immediately for

quick and expert treatment. Inform the doctor

about the coating material or solvent used.

PREVENTION:

• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.

• Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge.

For example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the

body.

• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not

provide protection against an injection injury.

• ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip

guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning

device.

• Only use a nozzle tip specied by the manufacturer.

• Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In

the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying, ALWAYS

lock gun trigger, shut pump o, and release all pressure

before servicing, cleaning tip or guard, or changing tip.

Pressure will not be released by turning o the motor. The

PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must be turned

to their appropriate positions to relieve system pressure.

• Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while

unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn o the unit and

relieve the pressure in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions.

• High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body

and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection

occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

• Check hoses and parts for signs of damage, a leak can inject

material into the skin. Inspect hose before each use. Replace

any damaged hoses or parts. Only use TITAN original-high-

pressure hoses in order to ensure functionality, safety and

durability.

• This system is capable of producing 3300 PSI / 228 Bar. Only

use replacement parts or accessories that are specied by

the manufacturer and that are rated a minimum of 3300 PSI.

This includes spray tips, nozzle guards, guns, extensions,

ttings, and hose.

• Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify

the trigger lock is functioning properly.

• Verify that all connections are secure before operating the

unit.

• Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be

thoroughly familiar with the controls. Pressure will not be

released by turning o the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve

or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate

positions to relieve system pressure.

• Always remove the spray tip before ushing or cleaning

the system.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Injection into the skin is

a traumatic injury which can lead to possible

amputation. It is important to treat the injury

as soon as possible. DO NOT delay treatment

to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with

some coatings injected directly into the blood

stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or

reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.

WARNING: HIGH PRESSURE HOSE

The paint hose can develop leaks from wear,

kinking and abuse. A leak can inject material into

the skin. Inspect the hose before each use.

PREVENTION:

• Avoid sharp bending or kinking of the high-pressure hose.

The smallest bending radius amounts to about 8” (20 cm).

• Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against

sharp objects and edges.

• Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately.

• Never repair damaged high-pressure hoses yourself!

• Electrostatic charging of spray guns and the high-pressure

hose is discharged through the high-pressure hose. For this

reason the electric resistance between the connections of

the high-pressure hose must be equal to or lower than

1M.

• For reasons of function, safety and durability use only

original Titan high-pressure hoses.

• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion

or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of

couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these

conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with

another earthed high-pressure hose.

• Make sure power cord, air hose and spray hoses are routed

in such a manner to minimize slip, trip and fall hazard.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ELITE 3000

WARNING: EXPLOSION OR FIRE

Flammable vapors, such as solvent and paint

vapors, in work area can ignite or explode.

PREVENTION:

• Do not spray ammable or combustible materials near

an open ame, pilot lights or sources of ignition such

as hot objects, cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment

and electrical appliances. Avoid creating sparks from

connecting and disconnecting power cords.

• Use extreme caution when using materials with a ashpoint

below 100ºF (38ºC). Flashpoint is the temperature that a

uid can produce enough vapors to ignite.

• Paint or solvent owing through the equipment is able to

result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of

re or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes.

All parts of the spray system, including the pump, hose

assembly, spray gun and objects in and around the spray

area shall be properly grounded to protect against static

discharge and sparks. Use only conductive or grounded

high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses specied by the

manufacturer.

• Verify that all containers and collection systems are

grounded to prevent static discharge.

• Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension

cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.

• Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated

hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide,

methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not

compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier

about compatibility of material with aluminum.

• Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of

fresh air moving through the area to keep the air within the

spray area free from accumulation of ammable vapors.

Keep pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do not spray

pump assembly.

• Do not smoke in the spray area.

• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark

producing products in the spray area.

• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers,

rags, and other ammable materials.

• Know the contents of the paint and solvents being sprayed.

Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and container

labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the

paint and solvent manufacture’s safety instructions.

• Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) from the spray

object in a well ventilated area (add more hose if necessary).

Flammable vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area

must be extremely well ventilated. The pump contains

arcing parts that emit sparks and can ignite vapors.

• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to

enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when

spraying ammable material.

• Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VAPORS

Paints, solvents, and other materials can be

harmful if inhaled or come in contact with body.

Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or

poisoning.

PREVENTION:

• Wear respiratory protection when spraying. Read all

instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will

provide the necessary protection.

• All local regulations regarding protection against

hazardous vapors must be observed.

• Wear protective eyewear.

• Protective clothing, gloves and possibly skin protection

cream are necessary for the protection of the skin. Observe

the regulations of the manufacturer concerning coating

materials, solvents and cleaning agents in preparation,

processing and cleaning units.

WARNING: GENERAL

This product can cause severe injury or property

damage.

PREVENTION:

• Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, clothing

and a respirator or mask when painting.

• Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away

from equipment at all times.

• Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep

eective footing and balance at all times.

• Stay alert and watch what you are doing.

• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the

inuence of drugs or alcohol.

• Do not kink or over-bend the hose. Airless hose can

develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak can

inject material into the skin.

• Do not expose the hose to temperatures or pressures in

excess of those specied by manufacturer.

7

GENERAL VIEW OF APPLICATION

ELITE 3000

• Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the

equipment.

• Use lowest possible pressure to ush equipment.

• Follow all appropriate local, state and national codes

governing ventilation, re prevention and operation.

• The United States Government Safety Standards have

been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health

Act (OSHA). These standards, particularly part 1910 of

the General Standards and part 1926 of the Construction

Standards should be consulted.

• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion

or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement

of couplings. Immediately replace hose if any of those

conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace with a

conductive high-pressure hose.

• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.

• Always unplug cord from outlet before working on

equipment (electric models only).

1.4 SETUP ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE

The front end must always point downwards in order to avoid

sliding away.

If possible do not use the unit on an inclined surface since the

unit tends to wander through the resulting vibrations.

OVERVIEW

ELITE 3000

2 OVERVIEW

2.1

APPLICATION

Elite 3000 is an electric driven unit for the airless atomization of

dierent painting materials. Also it is able to feed the internal

feeded paint roller, which is available as accessory.

Elite 3000 is made for jobs in the workshop and on the building

site.

The Elite 3000’s device output is designed so that dispersions

can be processed indoors and outdoors for small to medium-

sized objects.

When painting, the device is suitable for all kinds of typical

painting jobs, e.g.:

doors, door frames, balustrades, furniture, woodencladding,

fences, radiators (heating) and steel parts.

We recommend using the top container for paintwork.

2.2 COATING MATERIAL

MATERIALS THAT CAN BE SPRAYED

Diluting lacquers and paints or those containing solvents, two-

component coating materials, dispersion and latex paints.

No other materials should be used for spraying without TITAN’s

approval.

i

Pay attention to the Airless quality of the coating

materials to be processed.

The unit is able to process coating materials with up to

20,000 mPas. If highly viscous coating materials cannot be

taken in or the performance of the unit is to low, the paint must

be diluted in accordance with the manufacturer‘s instructions.

i

Attention: Make sure, when stirring up with

motor-driven agitators that no air bubbles are

stirred in. Air bubbles disturb when spraying and

can, in fact, lead to interruption of operation.

2.2.1 COATING MATERIALS WITH SHARPEDGED

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS

These particles have a strong wear and tear eect on valves

and tips, but also on the hose and spray gun. This impairs the

durability of these wearing parts considerably.

2.2.2 FILTERING

Sucient ltering is required for fault-free operation. To this

purpose the unit is equipped with a suction lter (Item 1) and

an insertion lter in the spray gun (Item 2). Regular inspection

of these lters for damage or soiling is urgently recommended.

A high-pressure lter (Item 3) - available as accessory - increases

the ltering surface and will provide even better performance.

DESCRIPTION OF UNIT

ELITE 3000

3 DESCRIPTION OF UNIT

3.1

AIRLESS PROCESS

The main area of application are thick layers of highly viscous

coating material.

At the Eiite 3000 unit a diaphragm pump takes in the coating

materials and transports it via a high-pressure hose to the spray

gun with the airless tip. Here the coating material atomizes

since it is pressed through the tip core at a maximum pressure

of 3300 PSI (22.8 MPa). This high pressure has the eect of

micro ne atomisation of the coating material.

As no air is used in this process, it is described as an AIRLESS

process.

This method of spraying has the advantages of nest

atomisation, cloudless operation (depending of a correct unit

adjustment) and a smooth, bubblefree surface. As well as these,

the advantages of the speed of work and convenience must be

mentioned.

3.2 FUNCTIONING OF THE UNIT

The following section contains a brief description of the

technical construction for better understanding of the function:

The Eiite 3000 is an electrically driven high-pressure paint

spraying equipment.

The electric motor (1) drives the hydraulic pump via planetary

gears (2). A piston (3) is moved up and down so that hydraulic

oil is moved under the diaphragm (4) which then moves.

In detail:

The downwards movement of the machine opens the disk inlet

valve (5) automatically and coating material is sucked in.

During the upwards movement of the diaphragm, the coating

material is displaced and the outlet valve opens while the inlet

valve is closed.

The coating material ows under high pressure through the

high-pressure hose to the spray gun and is atomized when it

exists from the tip.

The pressure control valve limits the set pressure in the

hydraulic oil circuit and thus also the pressure of the coating

material.

A pressure change when the same tip is used also leads to a

change in the amount of paint atomized.

Injection hazard. Do not spray without the tip

guard in place. NEVER trigger the gun unless the

tip is completely turned to either the spray or the

unclog position. ALWAYS engage the gun trigger

lock before removing, replacing or cleaning tip.

A) The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the

entire surface. 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 10-12 inches

(25 to 30 cm) between the spray tip and the surface.

25 - 30 cm

A

B) 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.

B

C) Trigger gun after starting the stroke. Release the trigger

before ending the stroke. The spray gun should be

moving when the trigger is pulled and released. Overlap

each stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an even

coating.

25 - 30 cm25 - 30 cm

i

If very sharp edges result or if there are streaks in

the spray jet – increase the operating pressure or

dilute the coating material.

5.1 CLEANING A CLOGGED TIP

i

If the spray pattern becomes distorted or stops

completely while pulling the trigger, perform the

steps below.

1. Turn the relief valve to PRIME (k circulation).

2. If the tip clogs, rotate the tip handle 180° until the arrow

on the handle is facing the opposite of the spray direction

and the handle clicks in the reverse position.

3. Turn the relief valve to SPRAY (p spray).

4. Trigger the gun once so that the pressure can blow the

clog out. NEVER use the tip in the reverse position for

more than ONE trigger pull at a time. This procedure can

be repeated until the tip is free of clogging.

The ow from the spray tip is at very high pressure.

Contact with any body part may be dangerous.

Do not place nger on gun outlet. Do not point

the gun at any person. Never operate the spray

gun without the proper tip guard.

HANDLING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE / INTERRUPTION OF WORK

ELITE 3000

6 HANDLING THE HIGHPRESSURE HOSE

The unit is equipped with a high-pressure hose specially suited

for diaphragm pumps.

Danger of injury through leaking high-pressure

hose. Replace any damaged high-pressure hose

immediately.

Never repair defective high-pressure hoses

yourself!

The high-pressure hose is to be handled with care. Avoid sharp

bends and folds: the smallest bending radius is about 20 cm.

Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against sharp

objects and edges.

Never pull on the high-pressure hose to move the device.

Make sure that the high-pressure hose cannot twist. This can

be avoided by using a Titan spray gun with a swivel joint and a

hose system.

i

When using the high-pressure hose while

working on scaolding, it is best to always guide

the hose along the outside of the scaolding.

i

The risk of damage rises with the age of the high-

pressure hose.

Titan recommends replacing high-pressure

hoses after 6 years.

i

Only use TITAN original-high-pressure hoses with

internal heating in order to ensure functionality,

safety and durability.

7 INTERRUPTION OF WORK

1. Set pressure relief valve to (pressure relief, circulation).

Switch the pump OFF using the ON/OFF switch (Pos. 0).

2. Pull trigger of the spray gun to decrease the pressure of

the high pressure hose and the spray gun.

3. Secure the spray gun trigger, refer to the operating manual

of the spray gun.

4. Remove tip from tip holder and store the tip in a small

vessel with suitable cleaning agent.

5. Leave the suction system immersed in the coating material

or immerse it in the corresponding cleaning agent. The

suction lter and unit should not dry out.

6. Cover the material container in order to prevent the paint

from drying.

i

In using quick-drying or two-component coating

materials, do not fail to rinse unit through with

a suitable cleaning agent during the processing

period.
