This symbol indicates a potential

hazard to you or to the equipment.

Important information that tells

how to prevent damage to the

equipment or how to avoid causes

of minor injuries will follow.

Danger of skin injection

Danger of re from solvent and

paint fumes

Danger of explosion from solvent,

paint fumes and incompatible

materials

Danger of injury from inhalation

of harmful vapors

i

Notes give important information

which should be given special

attention.

HAZARD: 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:

• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.

• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch

the uid stream. DO NOT allow body to

touch a leak in the uid hose.

• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun.

Gloves will not provide protection against

an injection injury.

• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the uid

pump o and release all pressure before

servicing, cleaning the tip guard, changing

tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will

not be released by turning o the engine.

The PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed

valve must be turned to their appropriate

positions to relieve system pressure.

• ALWAYS keep tip guard in place while

spraying. The tip guard provides some

protection but is mainly a warning device.

• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before

ushing or cleaning the system.

• NEVER use a spray gun without a working

trigger lock and trigger guard in place.

• All accessories must be rated at or above

the maximum operating pressure range of

Safety precautions

HAZARD

: 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 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 defective 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 1MΩ.

• 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.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE

Flammable vapors, such as solvent

and paint vapors, in work area can

ignite or explode.

PREVENTION:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

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.

• Gas models only - Do not ll fuel tank while

engine is running or hot; shut o engine

and allow to cool. Fuel is ammable and

can ignite or explode if spilled on a hot

surface.

• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as pilot

lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps

and plastic drop cloths (potential static

arc).

• Keep work area free of debris, including

solvent, rags and gasoline.

• Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn

power or light switches on or o when

ammable vapors are present.

• Ground equipment and conductive objects

in work area. Make sure grounding chain is

in place and reaches the ground.

• Use only grounded hoses.

• Hold spray gun rmly to the side of a

grounded pail when triggering into pail.

• If there is static sparking or if you feel a

shock, stop operation immediately.

• Know the contents of the paint and

solvents being sprayed. Read all Material

Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and container

labels provided with the paints and

solvents. Follow the paint and solvent

manufacturer’s safety instructions.

• 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 a re extinguisher in work area.

Safety precautions

HAZARD: 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.

HAZARD: GENERAL

This product can cause severe injury

or property damage.

PREVENTION:

• Follow all appropriate local, state, and

national codes governing ventilation, re

prevention, and operation.

• Pulling the trigger causes a recoil force

to the hand that is holding the spray

gun. The recoil force of the spray gun

is particularly powerful when the tip

has been removed and a high pressure

has been set on the airless pump. When

cleaning without a spray tip, set the

pressure control knob to the lowest

pressure.

• Use only manufacturer authorized parts.

User assumes all risks and liabilities when

using parts that do not meet the minimum

specications and safety devices of the

pump manufacturer.

• ALWAYS follow the material

manufacturer’s instructions for safe

handling of paint and solvents.

• Clean up all material and solvent spills

immediately to prevent slip hazard.

• Wear ear protection. This unit can produce

noise levels above 85 dB(A).

• Never leave this equipment unattended.

Keep away from children or anyone not

familiar with the operation of airless

equipment.

• Do not spray on windy days.

• The device and all related liquids (i.e.

hydraulic oil) must be disposed of in an

environmentally friendly way.

Safety precautions

1.2 Gasoline Engine Safety

1. Gas engines are designed to give safe and

dependable service if operated according

to instructions. Read and understand the

engine manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual

before operating the engine. Failure to

do so could result in personal injury or

equipment damage.

2. To prevent re hazards and to provide

adequate ventilation, keep the engine at

least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings

and other equipment during operation.

Do not place ammable objects close to

the engine.

3. People who are not operating the device

must stay away from the area of operation

due to a possibility of burns from hot

engine components or injury from any

equipment the engine may be used to

operate.

4. Know how to stop the engine quickly, and

understand the operation of all controls.

Never permit anyone to operate the

engine without proper instructions.

5. Gasoline is extremely ammable and is

explosive under certain conditions.

6. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the

engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow

ames or sparks in the refueling area or

where gasoline is stored.

7. Do not overll the fuel tank. After

refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed

properly and securely.

8. Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling.

Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may ignite. If any

fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry

before starting the engine.

9. Never run the engine in an enclosed or

conned area. Exhaust contains poisonous

carbon monoxide gas; exposure may cause

loss of consciousness and may lead to

death.

10. The muer becomes very hot during

operation and remains hot for a while after

stopping the engine. Be careful not to

touch the muer while it is hot. To avoid

severe burns or re hazards, let the engine

cool before transporting it or storing it

indoors.

11. Never ship/transport sprayer with gasoline

in the tank.

DO NOT use this equipment to spray

water or acid.

Attention

Do not lift by cart handle when

loading or unloading.

Device is very heavy. Three-person

lift is required.

6 PowrLiner 550

GB

Safety precautions

1.3 Fueling (gas engine)

Gasoline is extremely ammable

and is explosive under certain

conditions.

Fuel Specications

• Use automotive gasoline that has a pump

octane number of 86 or higher, or that has

a research octane number of 91 or higher.

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.

i

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 an authorized

dealer of the engine manufacturer.

Failure to do so is considered

misuse, and damage caused by

misuse is not covered by the engine

manufacturer’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 eciently.

• Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and

spark plug deposits and extends the life of

the exhaust system components.

• Never use stale or contaminated gasoline

or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting

dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.

Gasolines Containing Alcohol

If you decide to use a gasoline containing

alcohol (gasohol), be sure its octane rating is

at least as high as that recommended by the

engine manufacturer. There are two types of

“gasohol”: one containing ethanol, and the

other containing methanol. Do not use gasohol

that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not

use gasoline containing methanol (methyl or

wood alcohol) that does not also contain co-

solvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol.

Never use gasoline containing more than

5% methanol, even if it has co-solvents and

corrosion inhibitors.

i

Fuel system damage or engine

performance problems resulting

from the use of fuels that contain

alcohol is not covered under the

warranty. The engine manufacturer

cannot endorse the use of fuels

containing methanol since evidence

of their suitability is incomplete at

this time.

Before buying gasoline from an

unfamiliar station, try to nd out

if the gasoline contains alcohol.

If it does, conrm the type and

percentage of alcohol used. If you

notice any undesirable operating

characteristics while using a

gasoline that contains alcohol, or

one that you think contains alcohol,

switch to a gasoline that you know

does not contain alcohol.

General view of application Description of unit

2. General view of application

2.1 Application

This airless line striper is a precision power tool used to

spray many types of material for many types of applications

including parking lots, curbs, and athletic elds. Read and

follow this instruction manual carefully for proper operating

instructions, maintenance, and safety information.

2.2 Coating materials

Processible coating materials

i

Pay attention to the Airless quality of the

coating materials to be processed.

Latex paint, dispersion paints, re protection and thick lm

materials, zinc dust and micaceous iron ore paints, Airless

spray primer, sprayable glue, anti-corrosive agents, thick

coating materials and bitumen-like coating materials.

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

approval.

Filtering

In spite of the high-pressure lter, ltering of the coating

material is recommended in general.

Mix coating material before commencement of work.

i

Make sure when stirring 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.

Viscosity

It is possible to work with high-viscosity coating materials with

the devices.

If highly viscous coating materials cannot be sucked up,

they must be diluted in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instruction.

Two-component coating material

The appropriate processing time must be adhered to exactly.

A minimum of 45 minute set time is recommended. Within

this time rinse through and clean the unit meticulously with

the appropriate cleaning agents.

Coating materials with sharp-edged additional materials

These have a strong wear and tear eect on valves, high-

pressure hose, spray gun and tip. The durability of these parts

can be reduced appreciably through this.

3. Description of unit

3.1 Airless process

The main area of application are thick layers of highly viscous

coating material for large areas and a high consumption of

material.

A piston pump takes in the coating material by suction and

conveys it to the tip. Pressed through the tip at a pressure of

up to a maximum of 172 bar (17.2 MPa), the coating material

is atomized. 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 and a smooth, bubble-free

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.

Titan PowrLiner 550 (PL) are high-pressure spraying units

driven by a gasoline engine.

The gasoline engine (g. 1, item 1) drives the pump assembly

(2) which moves the piston up and down inside the uid

section (3).

The inlet valve is opened automatically by the upwards

movement of the piston. The outlet valve is opened when the

piston moves downward.

The coating material ows under high pressure through

the high-pressure hose to the spray gun. When the coating

material exits from the tip it atomizes.

4.2 Preparing to paint

Before painting, it is important to make sure that the uid in

the system is compatible with the paint that is going to be

used.

i

If this unit is new, it is shipped with test uid in

the uid section to prevent corrosion during

shipment and storage. This uid must be

thoroughly cleaned out of the system with

mineral spirits before you begin spraying.

i

Incompatible uids and paint may cause the

valves to become stuck closed, which would

require disassembly and cleaning of the

sprayer’s uid section.

Attention

Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun

in the locked position while preparing the

system. If necessary, loosen the gun holder

clamp knob and then engage the spray gun

trigger lock.

Identifying Tip Sizes

To identify tip sizes, use the following formula. A “417” tip size

will be used in this example.

The rst digit represents the size of the spray pattern when

spraying 6” away from the work surface:

4 = 4” spray pattern

The second two digits represent the diameter of the orice on

the tip:

17 = .017” orice

i

Worn spray tips will adversely aect the spray

pattern and result in reduced production, poor

nish, and wasted material. Replace worn tips

immediately.
