Problem	Cause	Solution
Poor wrap.	ES ON/OFF valve OFF (0).*	Turn ON (I).
	Gun air pressure too low.	Check air pressure to gun; minimum
		40 psi (0.28 MPa, 2.8 bar) needed at
		gun for full voltage.
	Atomizing air pressure too high.	Decrease.
	Fluid velocity too high.	Decrease fluid pressure or replace
		worn tip.
	Incorrect distance from gun to part.	Should be 8-12 in. (200-300 mm).
	Poorly grounded parts.	Resistance must be 1 megohm or
		less. Clean workpiece hangers.
	Faulty gun resistance.	See “Test Gun Resistance” on page
		18.
	Low fluid resistivity.	Check fluid resistivity. See page 14.
