The size of the object being coated is the determining factor in adjusting the fan pattern; the larger the
object, the larger the required fan pattern. Fan control of the ITW Ransburg REA/Vector applicators is
accomplished by rotating the adjusting knob located at the rear of the applicator. Fan width can be set
for approximately a 3-inch width (minimum) to approximately a 14-inch (maximum). Fan widths and
overall pattern appearances are illustrated.
