Troubleshooting
Table 2. Troubleshooting for the SG-200 Spray Gun
Problem
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
Spray valve does not cycle
Air pressure to air section too low
Increase air pressure to 60-100 psi
Packing nut is too tight
Loosen packing nut until valve just begins
to cycle, retighten
Stroke adjuster is bottomed out
Back out stroke adjuster by turning it
counter-clockwise
Material is cured in the valve
Disassemble and clean valve
Valve was assembled without
lubricating the o-ring seals
Disassemble valve, lubricate seals,
and re-assemble
Material leaks from valve tip
Needle and/or seat are worn
Replace parts as necessary
Seat is not tightened enough against
fluid section
Use seat wrench to tighten seat onto fluid
section
Valve leaks from mid-section
Packing nut is loose
Tighten packing nut until snug
Packing is worn
Replace packing
Valve does not spray anything
Fluid pressure is too low
Increase fluid pressure
Atomization pressure too high
impeding material flow
Reduce atomizing pressure, increase nozzle
size
Material cured in fluid section
Disassemble valve and clean
Spray rate too fast
Material PSI too high
Reduce material pressure
Spray rate too slow
Material PSI/flow rate too low
Increase material pressure. Increase nozzle
size
Air bubbles in fluid
Valve not properly purged
Flip valve upside down and cycle until air
bubbles are removed
Problem with fluid delivery system
Diagnose and repair
Not enough material flow
Nozzle bore too small
Atomizing air pressure set too high
Reduce atomizing air pressure
Poor spray pattern
Cured material at tip of needle and
seat
Remove air cap and clean tip
Cured material in air cap
Remove air cap and clean
Incorrect atomizing air pressure
Adjust atomizing air pressure
Damaged needle and or seat
Replace parts as necessary
