Atomizing Cap and
Fan Adjustments
The atomizing cap can be adjusted for horizontal or vertical spraying patterns. Spraying in the wrong direction may lead to material build up on the atomizing cap horn. Many performance problems are caused by clogged atomizing holes on the atomizing cap horns (see Cleaning on Page 10).
