Remedies for the top-heavy, bottom-heavy, right-heavy, and left-heavy patterns:
1. Determine if the obstruction is on the air cap or the uid tip. Do this by making a test
spray pattern. Then, rotate the cap one-half turn and spray another pattern. If the defect
is inverted, obstruction is on the air cap. Clean the air cap as previously instructed.
