SPEEFLO Admiral - Paint Sprayers, HVLP Sprayers, Powered Rollers

Troubleshooting - Airless SprayingCondition Possible Cause CorrectionA. Poor spray pattern and / or tails attop and bottom of the spray pattern.B. The gun drips or throws a drop atthe beginning or end of the spraypattern.Worn or incorrect tip and/or insufficientatomization.Hose size or length is too small or toolong.Dirty filter.Needle may not be seating correctly.Increase spring tension.C. Spray tip stops up frequently. Particles too large for spray tip are passingfilter and/or gun screen.D. Spray pattern changes with pumpcycle.E. Irregular flow of material. Onestroke faster than the other.Restrictions in the fluid system.Packings are worn or valve balls are notseating.Restriction in the siphon system.F. Spitting. Air in system.Dirty gun.G. Gun does not spray any fluid. Suction hose leak.No paint.Plugged foot valve.Plugged filters or tip.Ball check valve stuck open.Troubleshooting - Spray PatternsCondition Possible Cause CorrectionBe sure the tip is not worn. Increasepressure. Lower viscosity. Reducesurface tension by increasing hose size tominimize pressure drop through hose and/or reduce hose lengths. Use preorificedisc (H disc).Needle-orifice combination should befactory relapped. Needle packing maybe too tight. Loosen as much as possiblewithout leakage.Turn adjusting screw on back of gunclockwise to increase tension or use thegreen HP spring Part # 701-098.Use 100 mesh gun screen instead of 50mesh for small spray tips. Use 100 meshscreen in pump filter. Strain paint.Check gun and pump filter screens.Always clean screens before they load up.Check siphon hose assembly to be sure noair is entering, then recheck all threadedfittings for leakage. See Troubleshooting- Fluid Section for additional serviceinformation.Inspect for siphon hose leak.Disassemble and clean gun.Inspect for siphon hose leak.Check fluid supply.Remove, clean, inspect foot valve.Clean filters or tip.Clean and inspect pump ball check valve.A. Tails Inadequate fluid delivery.Fluid not atomizing correctly.Increase fluid pressure. Change to smalltip orifice size. Reduce fluid viscosity.Reduce hose length.Clean gun and filter(s). Reduce number ofguns using pump.B. Hour glass Inadequate fluid delivery. Same as above.C. Distorted Plugged or worn nozzle tip. Clean or replace nozzle tip.D. Pattern expanding and contracting(surge)Suction leak.Pulsating fluid delivery.E. Round pattern. Worn tip.Fluid too heavy for tip.Inspect for siphon hose leak.Change to a smaller tip orifice size.Install pulsation dampener in system ordrain existing one. Reduce number ofguns using pump.Remove restrictions in system, clean tipscreen if filter is used.Replace tip.Increase pressure. Thin material. Changenozzle tip.10 © Titan Tool Inc.
