guns, make sure the second gun hookup outlet is plugged. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Connect the multiple gun manifold to the single gun outlet. These
manifolds are for either 2, 3, or 4-guns and have shut off valves. Specifications:
Connect a hose and gun to each outlet. See Figure 2. Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane number of 86
or higher, or that has a research octane number of 91 or higher.
Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits
and extends the life of exhaust system components.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline
mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank. Use of a
lower octane gasoline can cause persistent "pinging" or heavy
"spark knock" (a metallic rapping noise) which, if severe, can lead
to engine damage.

NOTE: If "spark knock" or "pinging" occurs at a steady engine

FIGURE 2 speed under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark
knock or pinging persists, consult your authorized Honda dealer.
Failure to do so is considered misuse, and damage caused by mis-
use is not covered by Honda's Limited Warranty.
Occasionally you may experience light spark knock while operating
under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern, it simply means
your engine is operating efficiently.

 HYDRAULIC MOTOR & FLUID PUMP SERVICE
See Page 22 for maintenance and service instructions on the reci-
procating hydraulic motor and Page 26 for the fluid pump.

BASIC ENGINE MAINTENANCE

• For detailed engine maintenance and technical specifications
refer to the separate Honda engine manual.
• All service to the engine should be performed by an authorized
Honda Power Equipment dealer. To locate a dealer in your area,
look in the Yellow Pages of your telephone directory under
Gasoline Engines, Garden & Lawn Equipment & Supplies,
Lawnmowers, etc.
• The Honda engine is warranted exclusively by American Honda
Motor Co., Inc.
• Use a premium quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S.
Automotive requirement SG.SF/CC.CD. SAE 10W30 is recom-
mended 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: Check engine oil level. Fill as necessary. Check gasoline
level. Fill as necessary.
WARNING: FOLLOW FUELING PROCEDURE ON PAGE 10
FIRST 20 HOURS: Change engine oil.
EVERY 100 HOURS: Change engine oil.
WEEKLY: Remove the air filter cover and clean the element. In
very dusty environments, check the filter daily. Replace the ele-
ment 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 reg-
ularly. 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 manufac-
turer's service manual provided.
2. To conserve fuel, service life, and efficiency of the unit 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 of 2.0 GPM at 3600 RPM.
3. The warranty on gasoline engines or electric motors is limited to
the original manufacturer.

IMPORTANT ELECTRIC MOTOR INFORMATION

WARNING: If electric motor overloads and stops running,
IMMEDIATELY turn the motor off and follow the Pressure
Relief Procedure on Page 10. 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.

For CSA approved units only:

The ON / OFF switch is also the RESET!

AIRLESS TIP SELECTION

Tips are selected by the orifice size and fan width. The proper selec-
tion is determined by the fan width required for a specific job and by
the orifice size that will supply the desired amount of fluid and accom-
plish proper atomization.
For light viscosity fluids, smaller orifice tips generally are desired. For
heavier viscosity materials, larger orifice tips are preferred. Please
refer to the chart below.
Note: do not exceed the pump's recommended tip size.
The following chart indicates the most common sizes and the appropri-
ate materials to be sprayed.
.011 - .013 Lacquers & Stains 100 Mesh Filter
.015 - .019 Oil & Latex 50 Mesh Filter
.021 - .026 Heavy Bodied Latex & Blockfillers 5 Mesh Filter
Fan widths measuring 8" to 12" (20 to 30 cm) are most preferred
because they offer more control while spraying and are less likely to
plug.

FOR BEST SERVICES. The 143 Series Pump should
receive a routine servicing after approximately 1,000
hours of use. Earlier servicing is required if there is
excessive leakage from the top packing or if pump
strokes become faster on one stroke or the other. The
use of Titan/Speeflo Piston Lube, Part # 700-925, is
recommended as an upper packing lubricant. DO NOT
SUBSTITUTE OIL, WATER, OR SOLVENT for an upper

NOTE: It is not necessary to overtighten foot valve and cylinder
into pump block. O-Ring seals perform sealing function without
excessive tightening. Full thread engagement is sufficient. The
Foot Valve may be rotated back up to 1/2 turn from full engage-
ment for convenient hose position.

For syphon hose attachment, it is critically important that the

threads of the syphon hose fit snugly into the foot valve with the
hose assembly couplings PTFE taped and sealed to prevent air
leakage.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
The 944-620 Series Bleed Valve has a Tungsten Carbide Seat (9) and should not require frequent replacement. The Tungsten Carbide Ball
(7), in normal service, will last a long time because it rotates and wears evenly. If there is leakage, replace the ball. CAUTION: Open the
Adjustment Knob (1), to full counterclockwise position before unthreading Valve Seat (9), from Valve Body (4). If the Valve Stem (3) is rotated
inwardly with me ball removed, the PTFE O-Ring (5), may require replacement. If mere has been leakage from the valve stem, the PTFE O-
Ring should be replaced. IMPORTANT: The Valve Stem Stop (6), must be unthreaded from the Valve Stem (3), with a socket screwdriver,
then the valve stem can be threaded out of the Valve Body. CAUTION: All non-moving threads must be assembled with Loctite Sealant,

The incorporation of this spring loaded check valve into the filter
manifold greatly reduces hydraulic shock at stroke changeover and
reduces opportunity for hydraulic stalls. Always use the 930 Series
Filter Element / Check Ball in the PowrTwin 5500™ System. Do not
use 920 Series filter elements. Do not run the PowrTwin 5500™
system without a 930 Series filter element/check ball. When using
heavy high viscosity materials, use the 5-mesh filter element/check
ball.

CLEANING
Clean filter regularly. Dirty or clogged filters can greatly reduce fil-
tering ability and cause a number of system problems including
poor spray patterns, clogged spray tips, etc.

To clean the filter, shutoff system and relieve all system pressure.
See the Pressure Relief Procedure on Page 12.

Remove filter cap with spring guide (1) and spring (2). Pull filter
element with check ball (3) straight out of filter body (10).
Thoroughly clean inside filter body (10) filter element with check
ball (3) and filter cap with spring guide (1) with appropriate solvent.
Use care in handling parts as dirt, debris, scratches or nicks may
prevent O-Rings or gaskets from sealing.

The 930 Series Filter Elements filter from the inside

on the inside. Soak in solvent to loosen hardened
paint. etc. or replace.

SERVICE
NOTE: Inspect all parts thoroughly.
1. Inspect ball trapped inside filter element (3). If ball has pressure
cuts or scratches, replace filter element.
2. If ball is cut, remove PTFE O-Ring (6) with an O-Ring pick and
remove Tungsten Carbide Seat (7). Check carbide seat for nicks or
grooves. If seat is nicked or grooved replace.
3. Removal of the PTFE O-Ring (6) for Seat (7) inspection will
damage the O-Ring and require replacement.
4. Remove the Spring (2) from the Filter Cap (1). Measure the
length of the spring, uncompressed. If it measures less than 3/4"
from end to end, replace. Push spring back onto spring guide until
it "snaps" in place.
