PAINT PREPARATION
A proper paint mixture is essential to electrostatic
operation. Paint test equipment may be obtained
through your Ransburg distributor. Reference the
Technical Manual "Paint Related Information for
REA, REM, Vector, and M90 Guns" for paint for-
mulation information. For further paint formulation
and testing procedures, consult your Ransburg
distributor and/or your paint supplier.
SPRAY PATTERN
ADJUSTMENT
The spray pattern of fan atomizers is adjustable
from a small circle to an elongated oval, approx-
imately 10-18-inches of usable pattern when
sprayed from a target distance of 8-12-inches.
The swirl atomizer assemblies produce a round
pattern from 4-6-inches in diameter. The fan con-
trol knob provides control of the pattern shaping
air. Counter-clockwise expands the pattern and
clockwise reduces it.
The Vector has a distinct feature that allows
counting of clicks. The fan valve has 8 clicks per
1 full turn of the adjustment knob.
To change the spray pattern axis of fan atomizers
from horizontal to vertical, loosen the air nozzle
retaining ring, rotate the air cap clockwise to the
desired position, and gently tighten the ring.
† See the Ransburg bulletin "Handgun
Spray Techniques".
NOTE
APPLICATOR TO
TARGET DISTANCE
Hold the applicator 6-12-inches maximum from the
target for best operation (higher transfer efficiency
will be achieved at the closer target distance).
Trigger the applicator fully to operate.
