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.

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)

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.
