Fan Control | Troubleshooting Issues With the 77000 Atomizer Spray Gun

What happens here

The speaker demonstrates the internal components: the fan control ring and the air distributor plate. He highlights that these two pieces are crucial for fan pattern control. When the air distributor plate is installed backward or misaligned, its solid sections cover the air slots on the fan control ring. This blockage prevents air from reaching the air cap's 'ears' (side ports), forcing all air through the center, which results in a consistent circular spray pattern that cannot be adjusted.

Goal: Learn to identify the incorrect orientation of the air distributor plate, which blocks air slots and prevents proper fan pattern formation.

What they say

these two pieces here are critical for uh your fan pattern control right uh the way they are now they they will give you full adjustment uh what typically happens though as you can see the slots in here I'm holding it up are at 12 and 6:00 and if I flip it around so you can hopefully can see that in the video you can see that you can see through the slots in the back of the fan control that's important because when I flip it around and I have it I put it in backwards you can see that when I when I put it in backwards that the uh disc or the air distributor plate is actually blocking the air from coming through these slots in the back of the fan control ring and that's going to block off all of your Air Supply going to the ears of the air cap which basically only gives you a round pattern right so that's very common the easiest way to tell if you put it back together and you have the fan control ring where your slots are at 12 and 6:00 but then when you put the air distributor on it your your slots are now at 3 and 9:00 right right and so that's blocking the holes
