Uneven pattern, unsteadyor inadequate powderflow(contd)Improper fluidization of powder inhopperIncrease the fluidizing air pressure.If the problem persists, remove thepowder from the hopper and inspect thefluidizing plate. Clean or replace thefluidizing plate if it is contaminated.Damp powder 1. Check the powder supply, air filters,and dryer.2. Replace the powder supply ifcontaminated.2. Voids in powder pattern Worn nozzle Remove and inspect the nozzle.Replace it if it is worn.Plugged powder path Remove the nozzle parts, inletconnector, and powder feed hose fromthe gun and clean them.3. Loss of wrap, poortransfer efficiencyNOTE: Before checking possiblecauses, check the error code on thecontroller and perform the error codecorrective action in the controllermanual.Low electrostatic voltage Increase the electrostatic voltage.Poor electrode connection Perform theElectrode SupportAssembly Continuity procedure in thissection.Poorly grounded parts Check the conveyor chain, rollers, andpart hangers for powder buildup. Theresistance between the parts andground must be 1 megohm or less. Forbest results, 500 ohms or less isrecommended.2. Troubleshooting Charts(contd)
