TROUBLESHOOTING SPRAY PERFORMANCE
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.
If the defect is not inverted, it is on the fluid tip. Clean tip. If problem persists, renew tip.
Material build-up on air cap,
plugged horn holes, centre holes or
jets.
