INSTALLATION SPRAY PATTERN ADJUSTMENT The spray pattern of fan atomizers is adjustable from a small circle to an elongated oval, approximately 10-18-inches of useable pattern when sprayed from a target distance of 8-12-inches. The swirl atomizer assemblies produce a round pattern from 4-6 inches in diameter. The fan control knob provides control of the pattern shaping air. Count- er-clockwise expands the pattern and clockwise reduces it.

MAINTENANCE FLUSHING PROCEDURES APPLICATOR REPAIR 1. Turn OFF the power supply power. All repairs should be made on a clean, flat surface. If a vise is used to hold parts during service or repair, DO NOT clamp onto plastic parts and always pad the WA R N I N G vise jaws! Whenever solvent is flushed through the applica- tor, the power supply power must be off. The following parts should be thoroughly packed with dielectric grease (LSCH0009-00) leaving NO air space or voids when assembling: 2.
