damaged, they must be replaced before a perfect spray can be obtained.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Dried material in a side port restricts passage
ofair.Greaterowofairfromthecleanside
port forces a fan pattern in the direction of the
clogged side.
Dissolve material in the side ports with solvent,
thenblowthegunclean.Donotpokeintothe
nozzles with metal instruments.
Driedmaterialaroundtheoutsideoftheuid
nozzle tip restricts the passage of atomizing
air at one point through the centre opening of
the air nozzle and results in the pattern shown.
This pattern can also be caused by a loose air
nozzle.
Removetheairnozzleandwipeouidtip
using a rag dampened with solvent. Tighten the
air nozzle.
Material too thin or atomization air pressure too
high.
Regulate material viscosity or reduce air
pressure.
