Spraying technique
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.
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 25 to 30 cm between the spray tip and the
surface.
25 - 30 cm
Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means
moving your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing
your wrist.
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one
end of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
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.

If very sharp edges result or if there are streaks
in the spray jet – increase the operating pressure
or dilute the coating material.

Handling the high-pressure hose
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.
Danger of injury through leaking high-pressure
hose. Replace any damaged high-pressure hose
immediately.
Never repair defective high-pressure hoses
yourself!

Only use Titan original-high-pressure hoses
in order to ensure functionality, safety and
durability.

circulation).
2. Turn the pressure control knob to OFF in the black zone.
3. Pull the trigger of the spray gun in order to release the
pressure from the high-pressure hose and spray gun.
4. Secure the spray gun, refer to the operating manual of the
spray gun.
5. If a standard tip is to be cleaned, see Page 21, Section
13.2.
If a non-standard tip is installed, proceed according to the
relevant operating manual.
6. Leave the suction tube and return hose immersed
in the coating material or swivel or immerse it into a
corresponding cleaning agent.
Attention
If fast-drying or two-component coating material
is used, ensure that the unit is rinsed with a
suitable cleaning agent within the processing
time.
