Troubleshooting
Problem | Cause | Corrective measures |
|---|---|---|
Spray material does not cover properly | Spraying capacity too low | Turn the thumbwheel (6) clockwise |
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 (6) anticlockwise |
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 (6) anticlockwise |
Nozzle needle (11) contaminated | Clean the nozzle needle | |
Spray material too viscous | Dilute the spray material again and carry out a test-spray run | |
Air filter (20) heavily contaminated | Change the air filter | |
Excessive paint mist | Spraying capacity too high | Turn the thumbwheel (6) anticlockwise |
Clearance to target area too large | Reduce spray distance | |
Spray jet pulsates | Not enough spray material in container | Refill the spray material |
Ventilation hole (13) on suction tube (8) clogged | Clean the suction tube and the ventilation hole | |
Suction tube (8) loose | Slide the suction tube all the way onto the paint channel (14) | |
Paint nozzle (10) sits loosely | Tighten the paint nozzle | |
Air filter (20) heavily contaminated | Change the air filter | |
Spray material too viscous | Dilute the spray material again and carry out a test-spray run | |
Spray material dripping at the paint nozzle | Deposit of spray material on the paint nozzle (10), the nozzle needle (11) and the air cap (3) | Clean the paint nozzle, nozzle needle and air cap |
Paint nozzle (10) sits loosely | Tighten the paint nozzle | |
No spray material coming out of the paint nozzle | Suction tube (8) loose | Slide the suction tube all the way onto the paint channel (14) |
Nozzle needle (11) clogged | Clean the nozzle needle | |
Suction tube (8) clogged | Clean the suction tube | |
Ventilation hole (13) on suction tube (8) clogged | Clean the suction tube and the ventilation hole | |
Container seal (12) 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 when filling |
