Maintenance/cLeaning
1. Cleanliness is important to assure trouble-free opera-
tion. Excessive purging can indicate a need for paint
filtering and/or service of existing filter.
2. Flush unit after each use, and before any expected
downtime. Adjust unit fluid pressure to lowest possi-
ble setting.
3. To store unit: Clean, disassemble and store dry.

Proper Selection:
Determined by fluid flow desired and
the spray pattern fan width required for the specific job.
Selected size should supply the desired amount of fluid
and pattern width with proper atomization and yet not
exceed the capacity of the fluid supply.
Viscosity:
Viscosity can be used as a guide and general-
ly smaller orifice tips are desired for “light” viscosity
fluids. For heavy viscosities larger orifice tips are pre-
ferred. The chart below indicates orifice sizes with
appropriate fluids.

Fan WiDtH
Fan width is dictated by the job at hand, and personal
selection. However, an 8" to 12" pattern is preferred by
most painters and offers more spray control while less
likely to plug. A 14" to 16" pattern may find favor
with a more experienced painter and offer greater
production rates.
