FAN CONTROL
The size of the object being coated is the determining factor in adjusting the fan pattern; the larger
the object, the larger the required fan pattern. Fan control of the Ransburg Vector/Solo applicators is
accomplished by rotating the adjusting knob located at the rear of the applicator. Fan width can be
set for approximately a 3-inch width (minimum) to approximately a 14-inch (maximum). Fan widths
and overall pattern appearances are illustrated.
