Not using enough integration hose.

Add more integration hose.

 

 

 

 

 

Select “fast dosing” in setup.

 

 

 

Poor spray pattern.

Fluid pressure too low.

Increase pump pressure.

Also, see “System runs erratically” below.

 

 

Fluid temperature too low.

Increase fluid temperature.

 

 

 

 

Spray tip dirty or worn.

Relieve pressure. Clean or replace tip.

 

 

Follow gun manual instructions.
