Troubleshooting from the manual

Pump delivers on upstroke only or goes up slowly and down fast (common

Pump delivers on upstroke only or goes up slowly and down fast (commonly called downstroke dive) Pump delivers on down stroke only or goes up fast and down slowly Pump moves up and down fast, delivering material Pump moves up and down slowly when spray gun is shut off Not enough fluid pressure at gun Pump chatters on up or down stroke

From Titan PowrTwin 8900XLT Owner's Manual, page 13

Fluid not atomizing correctly
  1. General atomization issue Increase fluid pressure. Change to smaller tip orifice size. Reduce fluid viscosity. Reduce hose length. Clean gun and filter(s). Reduce number of guns using pump.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 15

Electric motor overloads and stops running
  1. Motor overload IMMEDIATELY turn the motor off and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in the Cleanup section of this manual. Wait until the motor cools (approximately 30 minutes). Then push in the bubble top, manual reset button, turn the motor on and pressurize the system.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 12

Erratic operation of the sprayer
  1. Air leakage in siphon hose coupling Ensure the threads on the siphon hose coupling are properly sealed

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 11

Low pressure (okay on down stroke, sluggish on up stroke - high heat)
  1. Broken spring or valve rod Replace valve rod assembly.
  2. Air in hydraulic motor Reset valve. Purge Air, generally accomplished by low pressure cycling of motor/pump assembly for 5-10 minutes. Check for causes of air introduction: Loose fittings in tank. Loose fittings on hydraulic pump. Loose hose connections. Low oil in reservoir. Stall at top can occur randomly when fluid pump picks up air. Reset valve. Avoid air in the fluid pump.
  3. Valve sticking Remove valve and check for scratches and rough movement when sliding it up and down. Replace valve and spool in this condition.
  4. Broken spring retainer (valve rod assembly) Replace valve rod assembly.

Worn spray tip
  1. Spray tip worn Replace tip.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual

Pulsating spray pattern
  1. General pulsation issue Change to a smaller tip orifice size. Install pulsation dampener in system or drain existing one. Reduce number of guns using pump. Remove restrictions in system; clean tip screen if filter is used.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual

Fast up or down stroke
  1. Malfunctioning valve or seats Inspect and repair or replace valve or seats
  2. Air in the system Bleed air from the system

  2. Dirty gun Disassemble and clean.
  3. Needle assembly out of adjustment Inspect and adjust.
  4. Broken or chipped seat Inspect and replace.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 13

Gun will not shut off
  1. Worn or broken needle & seat Replace.
  2. Needle assembly out of adjustment Adjust.
  3. Dirty gun Clean.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 13

Gun does not spray
  1. No paint Check fluid supply.
  2. Plugged filter or tip Clean.
  3. Broken needle in gun Replace.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 13

Oil motor stalls at bottom (no unusual heat problems)
  1. Fluid pump piston seat unthreaded If connecting rod is okay, remove cylinder head plug and pop valve down. Replace plug and start machine. If machine cycles up and stops at bottom again, then problem is piston seat on fluid pump. Check piston seat. Repair or replace as necessary. If piston seat is okay and problem does not change, check oil motor.
  2. Valve sticking or oil motor trip rod shifter assembly separated Remove valve and check for scratches and rough movement when sliding it up and down. Replace valve and spool in this condition. Check trip rod for possible separation.and spool in this condition. Check trip rod for possible separation.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 14

Tails
  1. Inadequate fluid delivery Fluid not atomizing correctly: Increase fluid pressure. Change to smaller tip orifice size. Reduce fluid viscosity. Reduce hose length. Clean gun and filter(s). Reduce number of guns using pump.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 15

Hour glass
  1. Inadequate fluid delivery Same as above.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 15

Distorted
  1. Plugged or worn nozzle tip Clean or replace nozzle tip.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 15

Pattern expanding and contracting
  1. Suction leak Inspect for suction hose leak.
  2. Pulsating fluid delivery Change to a smaller tip orifice size. Install pulsation dampener in system or drain existing one. Reduce number of guns using pump. Remove restrictions in system; clean tip screen if filter is used.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 15

Round pattern
  1. Worn tip Replace tip.
  2. Fluid too heavy for tip Increase pressure. Thin material. Change nozzle tip.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 15

Pump delivers on upstroke only or goes up slowly and down fast (commonly called downstroke dive)
  1. Lower foot valve ball is not seating due to trash or wear Remove foot valve assembly. Clean and inspect. Test foot valve by filling with water; if ball fails to seal the seat, replace ball.
  2. Material too viscous to siphon. Thin material - contact manufacturer for proper thinning procedures.
  3. Air leaking in on siphon side or damaged siphon hose. Siphon may be too small for heavy material. Tighten all connections between pump and paint container. If damaged, replace. Switch to larger diameter siphon set.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 13

Pump delivers on down stroke only or goes up fast and down slowly
  1. Upper ball is not seating due to trash or wear Check upper seat and ball with water. If ball fails to seal, replace seat.
  2. Lower packing set is worn Replace packing set if worn.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 13

Pump moves up and down fast, delivering material
  1. Material container is empty or material is too thick to flow through siphon hose Refill with new material. If too thick, remove siphon hose, immerse fluid section in material, and start pump to prime. Add thinner to material. Change to bigger siphon set. Open bleed valve to remove air and restart pump.
  2. Bottom ball stuck to foot valve seat Remove foot valve. Clean ball and seat.
  3. Siphon hose is kinked or loose Straighten.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 13

Pump moves up and down slowly when spray gun is shut off
  1. Loose connections. Bleed valve is open partially or bleed valve is worn. Lower packing seat is worn. Check all connections between pump and gun. Tighten as necessary. If material is flowing from bleed hose, close bleed valve or replace, if necessary. Should none of the above be evident, replace lower packing.
  2. Upper and/or lower ball not seating Reseat balls by cleaning.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 13

Not enough fluid pressure at gun
  1. Spray tip is worn Replace.
  2. Outlet filter or gun filter is clogged Clean or replace filter.
  3. Low voltage and/or inadequate amperage Check electrical service. Correct as required.
  4. Hose size or length is too small or too long Increase hose size to minimize pressure drop through hose and/or reduce hose length.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 13

Pump chatters on up or down stroke
  1. Solvent has caused upper packing to swell Replace packing.

From Titan PowrTwin 8900GH Owner's Manual, page 13

Oil motor stalls at top (no unusual heat problems)
  1. Valve sticking Remove valve and check for scratches and rough movement when sliding it up and down. Replace valve and spool in this condition.
  2. Broken spring retainer (valve rod assembly) Replace valve rod assembly.
  3. Broken spring or valve rod Replace valve rod assembly.
  4. Air in hydraulic motor Reset valve. Purge Air, generally accomplished by low pressure cycling of motor/pump assembly for 5–10 minutes. Check for causes of air introduction: ・Loose fittings in tank. ・Loose fittings on hydraulic pump. ・Loose hose connections. ・Low oil in reservoir.
  5. Air in fluid pump Stall at top can occur randomly when fluid pump picks up air. Reset valve. Avoid air in the fluid pump.

Low pressure (both strokes - high heat) NOTE: Engine labors at stall on both strokes.
  1. Blown center o-rings on spool valve Before dismantling oil motor, start machine. With pump cycling under pressure, touch the head to see if the head becomes hotter. This will help determine if center o-ring is blown on spool valve. If hot, remove and replace o-ring.
  2. Bad hydraulic pump Replace hydraulic pump.
