Troubleshooting Guide - Kawasaki 691562 Mode D'emploi

Do not use lubricants containing silicone. Silicone may cause defects in the
finish application.
All parts on a spray gun should be screwed in by hand at first. This will avoid
the possibility of cross threading the parts. If the parts cannot be turned by
hand easily, make sure you have the correct parts, unscrew, realign, and try
again. NEVER use undue force in mating parts.
Never use metal or other objects that could damage the
holes in the nozzle and cap. Never immerse the spray gun completely in sol-
vent. Never use components or parts that are not manufacturer originals.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

FLUTTERING OR SPITTING:
PROBABLE CAUSE:
1. Material level too low.
2. Container tipped too far.
3. Loose fluid inlet connection.
4. Loose or damaged fluid tip/seat.
5. Dry or loose fluid needle packing nut.
6. Air vent clogged.
PATTERN ARCING:
PROBABLE CAUSE:
1. Worn or loose Fluid Nozzle.
2. Material build up on Air Cap.
UNEVEN PATTERN:
PROBABLE CAUSE:
1. Material build up on Air Cap.
2. Fluid Nozzle dirty or worn.
SOLUTION:
1. Add material into cup.
2. Hold more upright.
3. Tighten.
4. Adjust or replace.
5. Lubricate and or tighten.
6. Clear vent hole.
SOLUTION:
1. Tighten or replace Fluid Nozzle.
2. Remove obstructions from
holes, but don not use metal
objects to clean it.
SOLUTION:
1. Clean or replace Air Cap.
2. Clean or replace Fluid Nozzle.

PATTERN CENTER TOO NARROW:
PROBABLE CAUSE:
1. Material too thin or not enough.
2. Atomization air pressure too high.
INSUFFICIENT PATTERN WIDTH:
PROBABLE CAUSE:
1. Material too thick.
2. Atomization air pressure too low.
AIR CAP LEAK:
PROBABLE CAUSE:
1. Sticking air valve stem
2. Contaminate on air valve or seat
3. Worn or damaged air valve or seat
4. Broken air valve spring
5. Bent valve stem
FLUID LEAKING FROM PACKING NUT:
PROBABLE CAUSE:
1. Packing nut loose
2. Packing worn or dry
EXCESSIVE OVERSPRAY:
PROBABLE CAUSE:
1. Too high atomization pressure
2. Too far from work surface
3. Improper stroking (arcing, gun
motion too fast)
WILL NOT SPRAY:
PROBABLE CAUSE:
1. No pressure at gun
2. Fluid control not open enough
3. Fluid too heavy
SOLUTION:
1. Regulate material viscosity.
2. Decrease air pressure.
SOLUTION:
1. Regulate material viscosity.
2. Increase air pressure.
SOLUTION:
1. Lubricate
2. Clean
3. Replace
4. Replace
5. Replace
SOLUTION:
1. Tighten needle
2. Replace or lubricate
(non-silicone oil)
SOLUTION:
1. Reduce pressure
2. Adjust to proper distance
3. Move at moderate pace, parallel
to surface.
SOLUTION:
1. Check air lines
2. Open fluid control
3. Thin fluid or change to pressure
feed system.
