TROUBLESHOOTING
1.Solution cup full, motor unit air is supplied to the Mist Applicator. Trigger is pulled and no solution comes out—Reason:
Cup not pressurizing.
Check:
A) Air Feed Tube/one way air valve (#25) A.5232
B) Air Feed Connector (#8) (A.5211)
C) Cup is screwed on tight
D) Cup top gasket is not damaged.
2. When Mist Applicator is connected to a turbine and the turbine is on, air continually flows through the air cap even if
the trigger is not pulled. Response: This is correct, “bleeder” type Mist Applicators are necessary and desirable to
ensure longevity of the motor unit.
3. If you think that you are getting too much “overspray”
Try: Moving the Mist Applicator closer to the work
Closing down the fluid flow
