The fluid flow and pattern width depend on the size of
the spray tip, the fluid viscosity, and the fluid pressure.

alignment pin is the vertical spray pattern.
To change the spray pattern direction, use a needle
nose pliers to unscrew the pin and relocate it to the
desired position. See F

use low-strength thread locker. Torque to 1.5-2.5 in-lb
