Troubleshooting
Problem | Cause | Corrective measure |
|---|---|---|
Spray material does not cover properly | Spraying capacity too low | Turn the thumbwheel (4) towards setting 5 |
Clearance to target area too large | Reduce spray distance | |
Not enough spray material on target area, too few spray paths sprayed over target area | Apply more spray paths over target area | |
Spray material too viscous | Dilute the spray material again and carry out a test-spray run | |
Spray material runs off after coating | Too much spray material applied | Turn the thumbwheel (4) towards setting 1 |
Clearance to target area too close | Increase spray distance | |
Viscosity of spray material too low | Add original spray material | |
Spray material applied too often over same spot | Remove spray material; reduce number of spray paths over same spot | |
Atomisation too coarse | Spraying capacity too high | Turn the thumbwheel (4) towards setting 1 |
Air flow too low | Turn the air flow control (25) to the right | |
White nozzle cap (10) mounted (nozzle diameter too large) | Mount the grey nozzle cap (11) or the black nozzle cap (12) | |
Nozzle needle (15) contaminated | Clean nozzle needle | |
Spray material too viscous | Dilute the spray material again and carry out a test-spray run | |
Air filter (30) heavily contaminated | Change air filter | |
Excessive paint mist | Too much spray material applied | Turn the thumbwheel (4) towards setting 1 |
Air flow too high | Turn the air flow control (25) to the left | |
Clearance to target area too large | Reduce spray distance | |
Spray jet pulsates | Not enough spray material in container | Refill spray material |
Ventilation hole (18) on suction tube (17) clogged | Clean the suction tube and the ventilation hole | |
Suction tube (17) loose | Slide the suction tube all the way onto the paint channel (19) | |
Container seal (16) not positioned or not correctly positioned in groove of suction tube (17) | Mount the container seal precisely all around in the suction tube groove | |
Nozzle cap (10)/(11)/(12) loose | Tighten the nozzle cap | |
Air filter (30) heavily contaminated | Change air filter | |
Spray material too viscous | Dilute the spray material again and carry out a test-spray run | |
Spray material dripping at the nozzle cap | Deposit of spray material on the nozzle cap (10)/(11)/(12), the nozzle needle (15) and the air cap (2) | Clean the nozzle cap, nozzle needle and air cap |
Nozzle cap (10)/(11)/(12) loose | Tighten the nozzle cap | |
No spray material coming out of the nozzle cap | Base unit is switched off | Press the on/off button (25) |
No pressure build-up in container (7) due to container not being completely closed | Turn the container (7) towards the close symbol until you hear the lock ring (6) engage | |
Suction tube (17) loose | Slide the suction tube all the way onto the paint channel (19) | |
Nozzle needle (15) clogged | Clean nozzle needle | |
Suction tube (17) clogged | Clean suction tube | |
Ventilation hole (18) on suction tube (17) clogged | Clean the suction tube and the ventilation hole | |
Container seal (16) missing or damaged | Slide a (new) container seal over the suction tube into the groove | |
Spray material too viscous | Dilute the spray material again and carry out a test-spray run | |
Spray material dirty (lumps of paint) | Completely empty and clean the spray gun; pour the spray material through the filling sieve (13) when filling |
