SPEEFLO Admiral - Paint Sprayers, HVLP Sprayers, Powered Rollers

Operation1. Repeat above Startup procedure with paint material. Lockgun trigger and attach spray tip. See the Technical DataSheet on the gun provided for installation and selection ofthe proper tip size.2. Test spray pattern. Operate the pump at the lowest airgauge reading which provides good atomization.See the Troubleshooting guide if you are not getting theproper pattern.3. When restarting the unit, reduce the pressure at the airregulator and open the pressure bleed valve.Pressure Relief ProcedureAlways reduce fluid pressure when you arecleaning a clogged tip, changing a tip, servicingany part of the system, or shutting down. Followthe steps below.1. Engage the gun trigger lock.2. Close the self-relieving vented shutoff valve.3. Open the pressure bleed valve by turning it counterclockwisethree full turns.4. Disengage the gun trigger lock and hold trigger open untilflowof material stops.Cleaning a Clogged TipThe flow from the spray tip is at very high pressure.Contact with any body part may be dangerous. Donot place finger on gun outlet. Do not point thegun at any person. Never operate the spray gunwithout the proper tip guard.1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure outlined above.2. Lock the gun trigger.3. Unscrew the nozzle cap and remove the spray tip. Washthe tip in solvent and use a tip probe to remove anyclogged material.4. If the gun is equipped with a Titan TAC 5 Assembly, seeTechnical Data Manual 150:99 for instructions.5. Release the gun trigger lock and spray briefly into a wastecontainer to flush out any clogged particles.6. Reset the trigger lock in the “Trigger Locked” position.Release the trigger lock and resume spraying.Color Change / Clean Outimportant: Use only compatible solvents when cleaningout oil based enamels, lacquers, coal tar, and epoxies.Check with the fluid manufacturer for a recommendedsolvent.1. Reduce pressure by following the Pressure ReliefProcedure.The pressure bleed valve should be turned counterclockwisethree full turns.2. Pull the siphon tube out of the material container.3. Remove the spray tip from the gun. Hold the gun triggeropen until material flow stops.4. Put siphon tube into wash solvent or water as applicable,and operate pump slowly at low pressure until solventflows freely from pressure bleed valve line.5. Close pressure bleed valve and hold gun trigger openuntil solvent flows freely from gun. If solvent is not toodirty, recirculate it by flowing gun stream back into solventcontainer. Use additional clean solvent and repeatprocedure if necessary.6. If your model is equipped with a gun strainer screen andpump outlet filter, check them daily. Use 50 mesh screenswith spray tip size .018 and larger. Use 100 or 200 meshscreens with spray tip sizes .015 and smaller. Alwayscheck the materials manufacturer’s recommendations forproper filtration requirements.7. On models with a outlet paint filter, replace paint filter capby turning clockwise. The filter cover should be handremovable after the first or second use with a new TeflonO-ring.important: O-ring must have Teflon backup washer toseal properly.8. If unit has been spraying a water soluble material, flushwith water and then repeat procedure with mineral spiritsor similar solvent.9. Wash spray tip and preorifice in solvent. Blow tip cleanwith air pressure directed through the tip in the reversedirection. Store preorifice and tips in clean place.8 © Titan Tool Inc. All rights reserved.
