Graco AA2000 Select a Spray Tip, Install a Spray Tip, Adjust the Spray Pattern & Apply the Fluid

Operation

Select a Spray Tip

Use the Spray Tip Selection charts on page 18, as a guide for selecting an appropriate spray tip for your application. The fluid output and pattern width depend on the size of the spray tip, the fluid viscosity, and the fluid pressure.

NOTE: When spraying very low viscosity fluids, use the optional fluid needle 220-413 (see page 15). The standard needle may not provide positive shut off for such fluids.

Install a Spray Tip

To reduce the risk of a fluid injection injury, Always

before removing or installing a spray tip.

Install a spray tip in the gun. The air cap and spray tip position determines the direction of the spray pattern.

Rotate the air cap (the spray tip rotates with it) as needed for the desired spray pattern direction. See Fig. 2.
