Adjust Spray Pattern
1. To adjust the spray pattern direction with fan tips,
orient the slot in the tip horizontally for a horizontal
pattern and vertically for a vertical pattern. See Fig.
7.
RAC Tip only:
Loosen tip guard retaining nut. Align
the guard horizontally to spray a horizontal pattern.
Align the guard vertically to spray a vertical pattern.
Tighten the nut.
2. Start the pump. Adjust the fluid pressure until the
spray is completely atomized. Use the lowest
pressure necessary to get the desired results.
Higher pressure may not improve the spray pattern
and will cause premature tip wear and pump wear.
3. The spray tip orifice and spray pattern angle
determines the coverage and size of pattern. When
more coverage is needed, follow the
, page 12, and install a larger
spray tip rather than increasing fluid pressure.
Adjust a Streaming Tip
Select a tip that will supply a stream at the required flow
rate at the lowest pressure.
Equipment surfaces and fluid that is heated can
become very hot during operation. To avoid severe
burns, wear gloves if the fluid temperature exceeds
110 °F (43 °C).
