AIRLESS SPRAY GUN TROUBLESHOOTING DEFECTS CAUSE CORRECTION Coarse spray Low pressure Increase the pressure Excessive fogging High pressure Reduce pressure for satisfactory pattern (overspray) Material too thin Use less thinner Pattern too wide Spray angle too large Use smaller spray angle tip Pattern too narrow Spray angle too small Use larger spray angle tip.
SPRAY TIP SELECTION Spray tip selection is based on paint viscosity, paint type, Spray tip size is based on how many gallons of paint per and job needs. For light viscosities (thin paints), use a minute can be sprayed through the tip. Do not use a tip smaller tip;...
NOTE: For longer life, new brushes (Part No. 331-131) need to have a run in period. After changing brushes, set up the machine for spraying.
