7 Signs And Solution For Your Broken Titan Paint Sprayer

Titan paint sprayers are one of the reliable products, but even the best products are not 100% reliable there is always a slight chance of breaking down. There is no need to worry. We are here to provide you with the possible 7 signs and solutions for your broken paint sprayer.

Paint Sprayer Won't Even Start:

The first step of using a paint sprayer is starting it up, but if your sprayer is not even starting then there is a problem with your paint sprayer. Let's have a look at the number of different possible reasons that can cause this sign.

  • The machine may not be plugged properly in the switch or you have forgotten to on the switch.
  • In the circuit, there may exist a blown fuse.
  • There can be a voltage issue.
  • A broken switch can be a cause.

By checking each of the above-mentioned problems and eliminating you can easily figure out the reason for the paint sprayer breakdown. Most of the problems mentioned above can be easily handled at home while some need professional help to be fixed.

No Priming:

The priming issue is very common and is the most frustrating one in sprayers. The paint sprayer usually won't prime due to the accumulation of waste in the hose, which limits or completely stop the flow of paint from the sprayer. The waste can be the dried paint or a little bit of grass. There are two ways you can resolve this issue:

  • On the fluid section of the paint sprayer does a slow tap using a hammer. It will resolve the problem in case of small waste
  • In case the upper one doesn't work, from the bottom of the hose, take off the retention spring and by using a flattop screwdriver or a paler to remove the waste. After the removal of waste put the spring back to its place and start the sprayer on and it will work perfectly.

Repeat the first solution for about 10-15 times and if it still does not resolve the issue go for the second solution. This is a very common reason for a broken paint sprayer, so the option is to teach your workers the solution to this issue. However, the new versions of Titan paint sprayers provide you with Pusher Valve that easily removes the waste without the use of a hammer.

Inconsistent Spray flow and leakage problem:

These are the two main reason that can spoil the quality of you work in no time. The reason that leads to the leakage or inconsistent spray flow can be the dried paint in the tip or a damaged tip. All you need to do is to watch the spray tip with different solvents like Water and Latex, Oil-base and Mineral Spirits and Lacquer and lacquer thinner.

Release of electric shock

This is one of the most dangerous signs of a broken sprayer. Everyone should check for the below mentioned two reasons for this sign

  • The paint sprayer is not properly grounded
  • The voltage points of the object you are painting aren't grounded properly.

The only solution to this issue is to check the grounding of both sprayer and the object and if you feel that any of them is not grounded use a grounded cable.

Pressure problems and Gun spitting:

Whenever you go through inconsistent or low pressure from your paint sprayer then it is a sign that your filters need replacement or repairing. The paint sprayer consists of a filter on the pump and another filter on the gun. The solution to this sign is to check both filters and if they are repaired several times before then this is the right time to replace it. Repairing and replacing the filter are both done using some simple steps. All you need to do is to find the pump filter under the machine and gun filter is present at the spray handle. By using wrench clear the opening of the filter and by moving clockwise take the filter off.

Sprayer not producing paint:

This sign doesn't only waste your time but money too. This is caused due to the holes in the tube, even a small hole can create a big mess for you. People usually keep on injecting more paint in the sprayer that in return result in more complications.The only solution to this sign is to either repair or replace the tube. Replacing the tube is a better option because of the high-pressured paint sprayer.

The unsatisfactory lifetime of the sprayer:

The manufactures of the paint sprayers usually have a rough idea of after how long the sprayer will need a repair. Titan provides you with an amazing warranty of 2-4 years with a capacity to manage 500-1000 gallons of paint per week. Although this count varies with every version. If your paint sprayer is breaking more often than it should be then it's a sign that there is something wrong. Although there is always the least possibility of manufacturing issues in the product still the best step while your sprayer doesn't provide you with a satisfactory lifetime is to first go to the manufactures instead of wasting money on repairing.

Ways to keep a sprayer working:

Maintenance of the machine is one the most important factor to keep it in a working condition. Let's have a look at some ways that help to keep a Titan Paint Sprayer in good condition.

Cleaning up the sprayer:

Clean up your sprayer by placing the hose in the clean water and by putting the pressure down get rid of the excess paint. It will save your filters from clogging and give your sprayer a long life

Lubricate:

Another way to keep your sprayer working is to lubricate it often as it prevents from seizing of parts as well as prevent the paint drying up in your paint sprayer. The parts that need to be lubricated are springs, valves, and pistons
