Adjusting spray pattern
---|---
When making adjustments hold the spray gun with the nozzle facing you.
Turn the fluid knob clockwise until fully tightened.
Turn the fluid knob counter-clockwise up to 2 full turns.
Test with water first before spraying clients to fine-tune this adjustment for the atomization desired. Depending on the thickness of your solution, results will vary. Adjust accordingly.
| To adjust the spray pattern you will need to turn the horns on the nozzle.
If you are unable to turn horns you may need to loosen the cap slightly. Hold
horns in place while tightening cap back to avoid horn movement.
Cleaning & Maintenance
- Unscrew the solution cup and empty the excess solution.
- Add clean room temperature water or HVLP gun cleaner to the solution cup and spray through.
- Unscrew the solution cup and pull the trigger lightly. Tap against the cup rim to release any fluid in the pickup straw.
- With the solution cup detached, turn the machine on and pull the trigger allowing air to blow any excess water out of the pickup straw and nozzle.
- Thoroughly dry the solution cup before attaching back to the machine.
- After every 10-15 uses remove the back filter cover and thoroughly rinse the filter until water runs clear. Be sure the filter has completely air-dried before re-inserting it into the machine.
- Lightly wet cloth with warm water and wipe the machine clean.

Tan Gone Wrong
| Problem | Cause | How To Fix It |
|---|---|---|
| While spraying the client solution is beading on the skin | You are spraying | |
| too close | Back up. You want to maintain a 6 – 8 inch distance from the end of |
the spray gun to the body for optimal results.
You are spraying too slow| Speed up. You want to move at a nice steady pace.
Not so fast that you aren’t getting good coverage and not so slow that you
have a solution dripping down your client.
*Expert Tip: Practice using water to find your perfect pace.
The solution dial is open too far| With the spray gun facing you, make quarter
turns clockwise to open the dial as needed allowing less solution to come out.
Brown speckles or “dots” on the skin after rinse| The solution has been
collected in the hair follicle.| Avoid heat. Even though your client may not
like the cold, by heating the room you run the risk of their pores opening.
The client should avoid waxing or shaving 24hrs prior to the appointment
The tan is streaky| Too much solution was sprayed| Make sure your solution
dial is adjusted properly, that you are the correct distance from the body and
moving at a steady pace all the way through.
Tan is uneven| The customer did not prep properly.| If the client did not
properly exfoliate, what they are seeing is the skin naturally exfoliating
which can be inconsistent.
Customer is using products that are stripping the tan.| Make sure your clients
are not using soaps or lotions that will compromise their tan. They can use a
gradual tanning lotion to help fill in where the streaks are.
The client did not exfoliate properly prior to tan| The client may not have
exfoliated their skin at all or missed areas while exfoliating.
There is some type of a barrier on the skin| Be sure that the customer has
properly prepped and their skin is free of moisturizers, deodorant, oils,
perfumes, etc. Also be sure to only apply barrier cream to the palm of hands,
elbows, the bottom of feet, and knees.
Tan Gone Wrong
| Problem | Cause | How To Fix It |
|---|---|---|
| The tan is speckled. | The solution dial is open too much. | Use a tanning mitt, |
this will help it to blend the solution. Do not panic, the tan will not turn out speckled. You are simply seeing the cosmetic bronzers.
Re-adjust your solution dial to find the optimal setting. Start with a turn and a half then make adjustments from there.
The clients palms are orange| Accidently got sprayed| Before you begin
spraying apply barrier cream to your palms.
While spraying forearms, ask clients to flip their wrists down to avoid
spraying their palms.
Client is orange| Sprayed too much solution on client| On average you will
only use 1.5 to 2 oz of solution for a full average body tan. Using more than
this can cause oversaturation causing the client to turn orange.
DHA % is too high| Use a lower DHA % next time or have the client shower
sooner.
Solution is green| If it is green right out of the bottle it has oxidized and
may not develop.| If you purchased within 30 days and are just opening the
solution for the first time then, you should contact the supplier. Most
solutions have a 30-shelf life once opened.
You are seeing the oxidation process. Make sure that between uses you are
tightly sealing the bottle to prevent air from getting in, you are storing the
solution in a cool dry area and that you are not compromising the solution by
pouring excess back into the bottle after a spray session.
Expert Tip: Apply a small amount of solution to a discrete area on your body
to test if the solution still develops.
If it is normal colored in the spray gun but turns green when hitting the
client’s skin.| If the solution turns green after being sprayed on the client,
they have something on their skin that is causing this reaction with the DHA.
Their tan will still develop normally. This is usually seen under the arm and
the solution is reacting to the deodorant the client has on.
Machine Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| The machine won’t turn on | The power cord is not securely attached | Make sure |
that the power cord is pushed firmly into the outlet.
The electrical outlet needs to be reset or is bad| Try pressing the reset
button on the outlet. If that does not work then try another outlet.
The gun or cup is leaking.| The solution cup is not tight.| Make sure the
solution cup is finger tight
The Cup gasket is missing or damaged.| Call manufacturer (866)446-1919
The solution cup is overfilled| Pour out excess solution. The cup should not
be filled over 3/4 of the cup.
The machine is not being helped upright| You must keep the spray gun level at
ALL times. DO NOT TILT the spray gun.
Inconsistent spraying| The nozzle may be blocked. To check, try spraying room
temperature water through the applicator.
IF no water comes through, check under your nozzle for blockage.
There is not enough solution in the cup. The feed tube is loose or has been
removed.
- Apply barrier cream to your client’s hands, elbows, knees, and feet. Make sure the client is wearing sticky feet and the hair cap is correctly positioned.
- Let your client know what to expect and the flow you will go in.
- Keep a steady pace for a consistent and even tan
- Ask clients to turn 90 degrees to their right until you have covered their entire body. Make sure they have a slight bend in their joints to prevent wrinkling.
- Always spray top to bottom
- Always start just off the body when spraying to avoid high concentration spots
| Step By Step
Step 1 – Begin spraying your client with their back towards you. Start just
off their shoulders and go to waist level. Next, spray the backside of their
arms stopping at their wrists. Ask the client to bend slightly forward then
spray from waist to feet.
Step 2 – Have the client turn 90 degrees and raise their arm creating a
straight line with their body. (If nude-This will ensure you can easily reach
under female clients’ breasts. For women with larger breasts, if this is not
enough, ask them to gently hold them up with their fingers and be very careful
not to spray their fingers.) Begin spraying slightly above the armpit just off
the body making a sweeping motion as you make your way to their waist. Then
make your way from their waist to feet.
Step 3 – Have your client turn 90 degrees again, they should be facing you at
this point. Begin spraying just off their shoulders spraying to their
waistline. (If nude- women with larger breasts will need to raise their arms
and if this is not enough, ask them to gently hold them up with their fingers
and be very careful not to spray their fingers.) Next, you will spray the
front of their arms to their wrists. To spray their hands ask them to make a
wide claw with their hands, then make an X pattern starting just off their
wrists to the opposite side of their hand. Then spray from their waist to
feet. Make an X when spraying the top of their feet. Start just off their foot
by their ankle to the opposite side of their foot. Ask them to make a
45-degree angle to spray the inside of their legs
Step 4 – Ask the client to turn 90 degrees and repeat step 2
Step 5 – Have the client turn back to face you. You will now spray their face
and neck. Have the client slightly tilt the head back to spray the neck.
Step 6 – Blow any wet areas dry
