Using An Airless Paint Sprayer. Paint Sprayer Instructions. How to use a Titan Sprayer.

This is Chris, the Idaho painter. In this video, we're going to show you how to operate an airless sprayer. And I got an airless sprayer right here. This is a small airless sprayer. It's a Titan 440 impact. And you either can go get an airless sprayer by renting one at a tool store or a paint store, or you can just go purchase your own. I'm going to identify some of the main feature features on this airless sprayer and what they do and how to go about actually using this thing. And so, to start off with, I got this airless sprayer sitting here. And every airless sprayer is going to have on it an onoff uh switch. And so you want to identify the onoff switch and make sure that thing is in the off position before you begin doing anything with it. This Titan right here has an onoff switch right there that turns the unit on and makes it so it's functionable. This is an electric airless. There's also gas airless wares, but we won't be talking about the gas right now, just electric. You're also going to have some type of knob that controls the pressure right here. And this is the pressure control knob. And that's what actually controls the pressure coming out of your gun right here. And I've got my cord. This is what I actually plug the unit into. Also, every airless sprayer is going to have some type of manifold filter on it that actually filters the paint. This one here is a pretty convenient manifold filter that actually unscrews without any tools. You can just unscrew it right here and it's got a filter that filters the paint. And you want to clean that thing pretty much every time you use it. When you're done operating the machine, take that filter off and clean that thing. And we'll just switch this thing around right here. This opposite side of this sprayer, you're going to locate a valve. And that's a prime spray valve. And this valve right here switches up and down. And in the down position, that puts it into prime mode. And an airless sprayer to operate the machine itself won't have any air inside the machine, and it forces all just paint through the tube. If you get an air bubble or something in there, you're going to need to turn it to prime and that will purge the system of all the air out of it. When you flip it to the up position on this model, it sends it into the spray mode where it actually starts sending paint out the gun. You also have two tubes. You're going to have a prime tube, and that's when you put that thing in the prime mode. You flip it down. Paint's going to actually come out of this tube, and this is what's going to purge any air bubbles out of your machine. And so, you're going to flip it. Once you see all the air bubbles uh come out and it's just solid paint coming out, then you'll flip it back up to the uh spray mode and you're ready to spray. This is your uptake right here. This takes in the paint. The paint's going to go in this tube to supply your sprayer. It's got a rock guard on the bottom. Keeps any rocks or any debris from getting up inside the sprayer. Those are some of the key features of this sprayer right here, this Titan 440 impact. And now we're going to show you how to operate this thing. Those are some of the key features. pretty much going to be the same on all airless sprayers that you go out there and you rent or you purchase. So, it makes it really simple. Now, to operate this airless sprayer, obviously, you got to have some paint. So, I got some paint right here. And I always like to put my paint in a five gallallon bucket because the paint itself when it's sitting on the ground, it's a lot more sturdier if it's in a five gallon bucket cuz it's got a lot larger base. So, I always stick my paint into a five gallallon bucket and I set it on the ground. I got this thing on this bench right here to make it easier to show you how to run this thing. So now I got this thing, my paint's in my five gallon bucket. All I'm going to do is with my power off thing plugged in, I'm going to drop my intake right into my gallon of paint. And then I'm going to turn my unit on and it's going to start taking in paint through the unit right here. And I'll start running it through my gun. If it um keeps cycling and cycling and cycling and it's got a air bubble in it, then we'll actually purge it through this prime tube. So, I got it all set up in my paint. Going to power this thing on. You also want to have another empty bucket to run your paint into or the dirty water that's in the thing. So, I got it in the spray position right here. So, the spray position on this machine is up. So, it's horizontal instead of vertical. So, in the up position. Now I'm going to turn my unit on. Flip that switch. I want my pressure down low. Don't have your pressure up high. So I have it in the low position. Then flip it on. So now it's taking in paint. It's starting to suck it up through here. And I can watch it and it'll start it'll start to lower in the gallon of paint as it's sucking it up. So I can start to see the paint lowering. And I'll start running my gun. You can see start running the water now. There's water in the line. In the comments below, right down here, leave your comments and your suggestions what you'd like to see my next video be about. And I'm going to choose it from you, my subscribers. Just going to keep running it till I see paint coming through here. Now I got my paint coming through and now it's ready to spray. I'll just turn my pressure up, put my tip and guard onto my gun, and it's ready to spray. But I'm going to take it now. I saw water coming through here. I'm just going to run a bunch of my paint into my paint pan just to make sure it's all paint coming through there. There we go. Now, I'm going to check my pressure. Going to turn my pressure up to the pressure I want. I'm going to screw my tip and guard right on here. I'm ready to spray. If this thing is taking up paint, but it's got an air bubble in it and it won't build that pressure, you'll just hear it cycle, cycle, cycle. It's not building up pressure. Then you'll just take your prime tube right here. Just stick my prime tube in a bucket. Hold on to it because as soon as you flip this thing to prime, a lot of pressure is going to through shoot through this tube and it's going to shoot up in the air and throw paint everywhere. So, I'm going to hold on to it, put it down to the prime mode, and you can see now paint's coming out of it. And I'll just purge it like this till I see no air bubbles. Flip flip it back to the spray mode. So now I've purged it from any air bubbles that possibly were in there. So now I'm ready to spray. And when I'm done spraying, then I'll just clean my unit all up. And that's how you operate a small airless sprayer. It's pretty simple process. So, when you're done painting with your airless sprayer, I do have a video on how to properly clean your airless sprayer. So, go check out my channel, The Idaho Painter, and I'll teach you how to clean it.
