SPRAY TIPS
When a tip is the wrong size, or becomes the wrong size through wear, the spray pattern
worsens, coverage decreases, you have less control over the desired rate of coverage,
and it takes longer to finish the job. In the worst case, the pump supplying the tip can be
damaged. Because most architectural coating are abrasive, tip wear can happened quite
quickly. Notice as wear increases the orifice size, it decreases the fan width which greatly
affects coverage rates.
If tip shows excessive wear, replace it to maximize productivity and save paint.
MAINTENANCE (Cleaning)
It is recommended that at the end of each day, paint should be flushed from unit with
