Dried material in a side port restricts passage of air.
Greater flow of air from the clean side port forces a fan
pattern in the direction of the clogged side.
Dried material around the outside of the fluid nozzle tip
restricts the passage of atomizing air at one point
through the centre opening of the air nozzle and results
in the pattern shown. This pattern can also be caused
by a loose air nozzle.
Material too thin or atomization air pressure too high.
Not enough paint in bottle.
Nozzleset/seatingdirty,damagedorlooselyinstalled.
Material bubbles or “boils” in paint
cup. Atomised air flowing through the paint channel to the
bottle. The paint nozzle is not sufficiently tight.
Air nozzle is not completely screwed on.
Tighten, clean or replace parts accordingly.
Dissolve material in the side ports with solvent, then blow the gun
clean.Donotpokeintothenozzleswithmetalinstruments.
Remove the air nozzle and wipe off fluid tip using a rag dampened
with solvent. Tighten the air nozzle.
Regulate material viscosity or reduce air pressure.
