Maintaining the hydraulic System
IMPORTaNT: use of Titan’s coolflo™ hydraulic Fluid is
mandatory in the PowrTwin hydraulic system. Do not use
any other hydraulic fluid. use of any other hydraulic fluid
may seriously damage the hydraulic system and will void
the warranty.
1. Check the hydraulic fluid daily. It should be at the
“Full” mark on the dipstick. If it is low, add only Titan
Coolflo™ Hydraulic Fluid (P/N 430-361). Never add or
change hydraulic fluid except in a clean, dust-free area.
Contamination of the hydraulic fluid will shorten hydraulic
pump life and may void warranty.

2. Change the hydraulic fluid every twelve months. Drain
the old fluid from the tank and fill with 4 quarts of Titan
Coolflo™ Hydraulic Fluid. Start the sprayer at just enough
pressure to operate the fluid section. Run the sprayer at
this low pressure for at least 5 minutes. This removes
air from the system. Check the fluid level after this
procedure. Do not over-fill.
NOTE: When replacing the hydraulic filter during a fluid
change, it may be necessary to add up to one
additional quart of hydraulic fluid.
3. The hydraulic system has an external, replaceable
hydraulic filter. Change the filter every twelve months.
4. The hydraulic pump should not be serviced in the field.
If service on the hydraulic pump is required, it must be
returned to Titan.
Maintaining the Fluid Section
If the sprayer is going to be out of service for an extended period
of time, it is recommended that following cleanup, a kerosene
and oil mixture be introduced as a preservative. Packings may
tend to dry out from lack of use. This is particularly true of the
upper packing set for which upper packing lubricant Piston Lube
(P/N 314-480) is recommended in normal usage.
If the sprayer has been out of service for an extended period of
time, it may be necessary to prime the suction by pouring some
of the paint solvent into the siphon tube to restart. It is extremely
important that the threads on the siphon hose coupling are
properly sealed. Any air leakage will produce erratic operation of
the sprayer and may damage the system. The up and the down
strokes should be approximately equal in time (one should not
be faster than the other). A fast up or down stroke may indicate
air in the system or malfunctioning valve or seats (see the
Troubleshooting section).
Basic Engine Maintenance (gas engine)
• For detailed engine maintenance and technical
specifications refer to the separate gasoline engine
manual.
• All service to the engine should be performed by a dealer
authorized by the engine manufacturer. To locate a dealer
in your area, look in the Yellow Pages of your telephone
directory under Gasoline Engines, Garden & Lawn
Equipment & Supplies, Lawn Mowers, etc.
• The gas engine is warranted exclusively by the engine
manufacturer.
• Use a premium quality motor oil certified to meet or
exceed U.S. Automotive requirement SG.or SF. SAE
10W30 is recommended for general all temperature use.
Other viscosities may be required in other climates.
• Use only a (NGK) BP6ES or BPR6E spark plug. Gap the
plug to 0.028 to 0.031 In. (0.7 to 0.8 mm) Always use a
spark plug wrench.
Daily
1. Check engine oil level, and fill as necessary.
2. Check gasoline level, and fill as necessary.
always follow the fueling procedure outlined earlier
in this manual.
First 20 hours
1. Change engine oil.
Every 100 hours
1. Change engine oil.
2. Clean the sediment cup.
3. Clean and re-gap the spark plug.
4. Clean the spark arrestor.
Weekly
1. Remove the air filter cover and clean the element. In
very dusty environments, check the filter daily. Replace
the element as needed. Replacement elements can be
purchased from your local Honda dealer.
Engine Operation and Service
1. Clean and oil air filter pad on gasoline engine every 25
hours or once weekly. Do not permit the air intake screen
around the fly wheel of the gas engine to load up with
paint or trash. Clean it regularly. The service life and
efficiency of the gas engine model depends upon keeping
the gasoline engine running properly. Change the oil
in the engine every 100 hours. Failure to observe this
may result in engine overheating. Consult the engine
manufacturer’s service manual provided.
2. To conserve fuel, service life, and efficiency of the sprayer,
always operate the gasoline engine at the lowest RPM
at which it runs smoothly without laboring and delivers
the amount required for the particular painting operation.
Higher RPM does not produce higher working pressure.
The gasoline engine is connected to the hydraulic pump
by a pulley combination designed to produce full paint
delivery at maximum RPM.
3. The warranty on gasoline engines or electric motors is
limited to the original manufacturer.
