Spray Pattern Adjustment Spray Pattern Adjustment Spray Pattern Adjustment Spray Pattern Adjustment Spray Pattern Adjustment
The spray pattern of fan atomizers is adjustable
from a small circle to an elongated oval,
approximately 10-12-inches (254-305mm) across
the useable long axis at 8-10-inches (203-254mm)
from the target. The swirl atomizer assemblies
produce a round pattern from 5-9-inches (127-
229mm) in diameter. To adjust pattern size,
increasing fan air pressure will expand the pattern,
a reduction will decrease it. To change the spray
pattern axis of fan atomizers from horizontal to
vertical, loosen retainer ring, rotate the air cap
clockwise to the desired position, and gently
tighten the ring.
> A counter-clockwise turn of the air cap
may loosen the fluid nozzle and cause air to
get into the paint or paint to cross over into
the air passages.
