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 fluid nozzle. 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. Also check for dried paint just inside the cap centre hole opening;
remove by washing with solvent.
2. If the defect is not inverted, it is on the fluid nozzle. Clean nozzle. If problem persists, renew nozzle.
