Remedies for the top-heavy, bottom-heavy, right-heavy, and left-heavy patterns:
1. Determine if the obstruction is on the air cap or the fluid tip. Do this by making a test
spray pattern. Then, rotate the cap one-half turn and spray another pattern. If the defect is
inverted, obstruction is on the air cap. Clean the air cap as previously instructed. Also check
for dried paint just inside the cap centre hole opening; remove by washing with solvent.
2. If the defect is not inverted, it is on the fluid tip. Clean tip. If problem persists, renew tip.
