in either direction as required) to obtain

b. If full-round pattern cannot be achieved,
ensure that material temperature and
spray pressure are correct. If pattern
remains closed upon reaching maxi-
mum specified number of turns out from
point of valving, material temperature is
too low
c. If pattern splits or has hollow center,
even with the adjustment screw at mini-
mum number of turns from point of valv-
ing, material temperature is too high.
Refer to F
IG
. 12.
d. After reaching satisfactory spray pat-
tern, note temperatures at proportioner
and hose, and position of notch on the
adjustment screw. As spraying pro-
ceeds, pattern may occasionally streak
or change. If this happens, inspect
chamber tip and remove any build-up of
solid foam with wooden stick or brass
wire brush.
