Adjusting the Spray Pattern
Follow these steps to establish the correct fluid flow and air flow: 1. Turn the fluid adjustment knob (21) counterclockwise until no restriction of the trigger movement is felt, then turn out another half turn. When the knob is turned far enough, the trigger should be able to touch the gun handle when the gun is triggered. 25

WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD To avoid injury, never open the fluid adjustment knob (21) beyond the one half turn indicated in Adjusting the Spray Pattern. If the red band on the knob stem (21) is visible, the knob is not adjusted correctly and could result in serious injury. Repeat steps in Adjusting the Spray Pattern.

7. For HVLP only, to measure the air cap atomizing pressures, use the accessory aircap verification kit. NOTES: D If the fluid adjustment knob is turned in clockwise all the way the gun will emit only air. D For maximum transfer efficiency, always use the lowest air setting needed to achieve the desired finish. D If available, use the fluid manufacturer’s recommendations for this gun model to set the air line pressure. D For Compliant guns, to maintain compliant operation (TE equal to HVLP) the gun inlet pressure must not exceed 29 psi. D For HVLP guns, at 29 psi (200 kPa, 2.0 bar) gun inlet air pressure, the pressure at the aircap will be 10 psi (70 kPa, 0.7 bar). D For HVLP guns, local laws may limit the maximum automatic air pressure to 10 psi (70 kPa, 0.7 bar) at the air cap for HVLP compliance. The accessory Air Cap Verification Kit 16231 is available to measure the atomizing pressure at the air cap.

4. Trigger the gun and adjust the gun inlet pressure, turning the needle valve at the gun air inlet: HVLP, Compliant 29 psi Airspray 50psi

5. Spray a test pattern to evaluate fluid flow and atomization. 6. To reach the desired pattern width, fluid flow rate, and finish, make the following adjustments: . For a narrower pattern (25), turn the pattern adjustment valve clockwise. To reduce the fluid flow, turn the fluid adjustment valve (21) clockwise to limit the trigger travel or replace the nozzle with a smaller orifice. To improve atomization, reduce the fluid flow rate. Increasing the air pressure can improve atomization but may result in poor Transfer Efficiency (TE) or non–compliant operation.

Correct fan pattern

Follow all Setup procedures, starting on page 6. Hang some 3M masking paper. Hold spray gun with Air Cap perpendicular and 8 in. from masking paper. Spray for two seconds and check what you get for fan pattern outline on the paper. See troubleshooting chart for how to adjust/service spray gun to correct Fan Pattern defects.

PROBLEM Fluttering or spitting spray

CAUSE AND SOLUTION Loose or damaged fluid tip/seat (Tighten or replace). Material level too low in cup (Refill cup) Gun cup tilted too far over or upside down while spraying (Purge Air out of PPS cup). PPS 200–micron strainer too fine for mix (Use PPS 300 micron strainer or thin/reduce mix). Partial obstruction in fluid passage (Flush with solvent). Dry or loose fluid needle packing nut (Lubricate or tighten).

Pattern is curved.

Air Cap or Fluid Tip Defective. Determine if defect is in the Air Cap or Fluid Tip. Rotate Air Cap one–half turn and spray another test pattern. If defect is inverted/reverse of previous fan pattern, then defect is in the Air Cap. Clean air Cap. If defect is not inverted/reverse of previous Fan Pattern, defect is in the Fluid Tip. Check Fluid Tip for damage or partial blockage with dried material. Check Fluid Needle Tip for damage. Replace as necessary.

Pattern is off–set or heavy on one end.

One or more Air Horn Holes Plugged (Clean Air Cap) Fluid Needle Tip Damaged (Replace Fluid Needle Tip) Fluid Nozzle Damaged or partially blocked.(Clean and or replace Fluid Nozzle)

Pattern is heavy in the center.

Air Pressure too low (Increase Air Pressure). Fan Pattern set too narrow (Open Fan Pattern). Material is too thick (Reduce/Thin the Mix).

Pattern is split.

Air Pressure too high (Reduce Air Pressure). Fan Pattern set wide open (Close down Fan Pattern).

16

PROBLEM Starving Fan Pattern. Fan pattern begins to narrow down.

SOLUTION PPS liner bottomed out on top of strainer or collapsed around strainer, blocking flow (Disconnect air, with PPS cup below gun, pull trigger to re–open liner, re–connect air and spray mix without purging air from liner). PPS 200–micron strainer too fine for mix (Use PPS 300 micron strainer or thin/ reduce mix). Air supply pressure drops due to air supply defects such as other air tools being used draws down system pressure & CFM flow.

Will not spray.

Not enough flow/air pressure at gun (Check air supply source and hose). Fluid needle not open enough (Open fluid needle more). Mix is too thick for fluid tip size (Change to larger size).

Fluid leaking/dripping from PPS cup.

PPS cup lid loose (Tighten PPS Locking Collar). Crack in PPS Lid or Liner (Replace). PPS lid spout not fully engaged with PPS Adapter.

Fluid leaking/dripping from gun.

Check for missing or damaged O–ring (34) at base of Fluid Nozzle on the Fluid/Adapter Housing Fluid needle packing nut too tight or binding (Loosen nut or lubricate needle shaft). Needle tip damaged (Replace). Fluid Nozzle nicked or damaged (Replace). Mix residue dried in gun (Clean & Lube gun).

Excessive overspray.

Too much air pressure (Reduce air pressure). Gun too far from work surface (Move in and keep the fan pattern perpendicular to the surface to be sprayed).

Check the fluid needle (13) for damage or excessive wear. Replace needle tip or entire needle if necessary. If replacing needle tip, use low strength thread locker on needle tip threads. 4. Lubricate the outside of the new air valve assembly (26) and place it on the fluid needle (13), against the nut (B). See Fig. 29. This helps align the entrance of the air valve stem into the inside diameter of the u-cup (16) without damaging the u-cup lip. 5. Install the fluid needle (13) and the air valve assembly (26) into the back of the gun. 7. Replace and Install a new needle spring (23). Install fluid adjustment knob (21). 8. Install the trigger (10), pivot pin (17), wave washer (18), and screw (11). Torque the screw to 20–30 in-lb (2.3–3.4 NSm). 9. To avoid galling of the fluid nozzle in the spray housing (2a) apply a thin film of lubricant to the back surface of the nozzle taper where it seats and also to the nozzle threads. Trigger the gun while you install the fluid nozzle (12) with the gun tool (28). Tighten the nozzle securely to 40 in-lb (4.5 NSm) to obtain a good seal. Do not over torque. 10. Tighten the hex nut (9) securely to 125–135 in-lb (14–15 NSm). 11. Install the pattern adjustment valve assembly (25). Torque the nut (25a) to 125–135 in-lb (14–15 NSm). 12. To tighten the packing screw (8), turn the screw in until it touches the fluid packings (5), then tighten one full turn to pre-set the packings. Loosen the screw, then turn it in until it touches the packings again. Tighten the screw 1/12 turn more (equal to half the distance between points on the hex head). 13. Trigger the gun to test the needle movement. If the needle does not return after the trigger is released or is slow in returning, loosen the packing screw (8) until the needle returns freely. 14. Install the air cap (14) and air cap retaining ring (15). Hand-tighten the ring. 15. Make sure the gun fluid packings are sealing properly by spraying solvent at low pressure before fully pressurizing the gun with the fluid to be sprayed. If the fluid packings leak, tighten the packing screw (8) slightly and retest until the packings and fluid needle seal completely.
