Introduction
Congratulations on having selected the finest airless sprayer
available in the world. Titan piston pumps are tireless
workhorses — so tough they are virtually indestructible, even
under the most severe service. Titan designs and builds
equipment with superior quality and reliability. Equipment that
will last for years with minimal maintenance and downtime. This
equipment will make you money year after year. We thank you
for your purchase and welcome you to our large and growing
family of Titan users.
The unique ability of this PowrLiner to operate with either gas or
electric power provides you with the flexibility to work indoors or
outside where no electricity is available.
Hydraulic drive makes possible the longest stroke and slowest
cycling pumps in the industry, which translates into low
maintenance and longer life. Electric sprayers operate quietly
with no motor starting and stopping.
This PowrLiner is equipped with Titan’s exclusive fluid pump.
This technology will give you significantly longer rod, cylinder,
and packing life than any other sprayer built in the world. The
double ball piston pump employs a dependable and durable
time-tested design. All pumps use thick, stainless steel rod and
cylinder parts. Highly polished parts reduce friction, extend
packing life, and avoid damage from corrosion and abrasion.
More than 100,000 of these pumps are in operation around the
world.
This PowrLiner offers other cost saving features:
• Freeze-proof pressure control
• Choice of power — gas, electric, or both
• Tungsten carbide valve seats
• Self-adjusting packings
• Exclusive hand-tight swivel foot valve
• Large capacity inline paint filter
• Waterborne compatible
• “Floating Ball” pressure bleed valve
• 5 gallon siphon hose and bleed line assemblies are
standard
You have made an excellent choice. We know you will be
pleased with your new PowrLiner. Thanks again for selecting
Titan. We appreciate your business.
Operation
Fueling (gas engine)
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.
• ALWAYS turn the engine off before refueling.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the refueling
area or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the
tank cap is closed properly and securely.
• 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.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing
of vapor.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
Fuel 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. 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 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 efficiently.
• 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.
NOTE: 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 find out if the gasoline contains
alcohol. If it does, confirm 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.
