fluid nozzle.
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 center hole
opening; remove by washing with solvent.
2. If the defect is not inverted, it is on the fluid nozzle. Clean nozzle. Check for a fine burr on the edge of the
fluid nozzle. Remove with #600 wet or dry sandpaper.
