Use the fluid nozzle that will give the required flow with the fluid adjustment knob opened four full turns counterclockwise and an adhesive pressure of approximately 5 to 20 psi (0.35 to 1.4 bar).
Air Flow and Atomizing Pressure NOTE: All tests completed with the fan air fully open. Air Flow GUN AIR INLET PRESSURE (psi) Atomizing Pressure Versus Activator Inlet Pressure Air flowing through the gun creates back pressure, which the activator must overcome before beginning to flow.

Page 11
Setup and Shutdown 6. Adjust the spray pattern. (continued) C. Hold the gun parallel to the floor and adjust the adhesive fluid pressure until you have a 1 to 6 inch (25.4 to 152.4 mm) straight fluid stream before the stream falls off. See Fig. 14. 1–6 in.
Page 12
Setup and Shutdown 6. Adjust the spray pattern. (continued) F. Set the gun air supply pressure at 40 psi (2.8 bar), using the gun atomizing air regulator (E). See Fig. 18. NOTE: Use the fluid manufacturer recommendations if available and refer to the Atomizing Pressure Versus Activator Inlet Pressure chart on page 5 when adjusting the gun.
Page 13
NOTE: You cannot sample the adhesive and activator at the same time. The adhesive must be checked with the atomizing air off, while the activator must be checked with the atomizing air on. 1. Check the ratio of the adhesive. A.
