The Spray Pattern & Paint Flow Control Valve, located at the rear of the gun, allows for quick and accurate setting of desirable pattern and paint flow output. Check this valves for any signs of wear or damage. If necessary, replace it to ensure fine control over your spray patterns.

 

Step 6: Reassemble and Test

Once you’ve cleaned and inspected all the components, reassemble the spray gun. Reconnect it to the air hose and paint reservoir, then conduct a test spray on a scrap piece of material. Adjust the air pressure and fluid flow settings as needed for your specific project3.
