
Too wide with no defined “horns” “highly atomized spray fan” – turn
down the pump pressure
 Too narrow but with well defined “horns” – turn up the pump
pressure.

Good width with small
defined “horns” – optimized for low emission
spraying. Use air assist adjustment to refine the fan.

If more material is needed us a larger Spray Tip, do not increase
pump pressure to increase the amount of material.

Use a larger or smaller fan angle to adjust the width of the spray fan.
