WAGNER HIGH-PERFORMANCE AIRLESS SPRAYER Owner's Manual - Pressure Relief
English
PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE
Follow this procedure after the unit is assembled and before
any operation which involves the spray gun such as cleaning
and maintenance or changing tips or accessories.
1. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its
lowest setting.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME.
3. Trigger the gun to remove any pressure which may still be
in the hose.
4. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock so that it is
parallel to the gun body.
POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD. Do not spray without the
tip guard in place. Never trigger the gun unless the tip is
in either the spray or the unclog position. Always engage
the gun trigger lock before removing, replacing or
cleaning tip.
PRIMING
Preparing to Prime
1. Place the unit so that the inlet valve is facing up and fill
the inlet valve with water or with a light household oil.
2. Make certain that the PRIME/SPRAY knob is set to
PRIME and that the pressure control knob is turned
counterclockwise to the lowest pressure setting.

3. Turn the motor switch to ON.
4. Increase the pressure by turning the pressure control
knob clockwise 1/2 turn.
5. Force the inlet valve to open and close by pushing on it
with a screwdriver or the eraser end of a pencil. It should
move up and down about 1/16 of an inch. Continue until
water or oil is sucked into the sprayer. This will wet the
moving parts and break loose any old paint residue.
6. Put the palm of your hand over the inlet. Turn the
pressure control knob clockwise to its maximum setting.
You should feel suction coming from the inlet valve. If you
do not, see the section on cleaning and servicing the outlet
valve.
7. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum pressure setting.
8. Turn the motor switch to OFF.
Attaching the Suction Set
1. Attach the suction tube to the inlet valve and tighten
firmly by hand. Be sure that the threads are straight so
that the fitting turns freely.
2. Place the suction tube and the return tube into the paint.
3. Place the paint bucket onto the floor or hang on the pail
bracket, depending on the model of pump you have.
