Maintenance; Replacement Parts - WAGNER WideShot Owner's Manual

Lubricating your sprayer prior to storage is important to prolong the life of the pump housing components.
1. Turn the sprayer upside-down while the fluid container is
removed. Squeeze a small amount of standard
household oil into both the intake (a) and return (b)
openings on the pump housing.

3. Replace the suction set.
• Parts of your sprayer wear out with use and require regular replacement. They include the swirl valve, piston and
spring. These parts are not covered by your sprayer warranty.
• More abrasive materials such as latex paints and stains cause these parts to wear out faster than less abrasive
materials such as oil-based paints and stains, thin stains and sealers.
Swirl Valve
The swirl valve is shaped to cause the material to spin as it
comes out of the sprayer. The spinning breaks the material
up into a fine spray. As more material goes through the swirl
valve, it wears out the valve and the shape of the valve
changes. When it changes too much to produce a good
spray pattern, the valve needs to be replaced.

The average life of a piston and spring will vary depending on
the types of material being sprayed.
Replace the piston if the sprayer takes longer than 15
seconds with the suction set or 3 minutes with the suction
extension to prime when well lubricated, or if there is an
excess amount of material leaking, refer to the
troubleshooting suggestions listed in this manual. Replace
the spring if you notice that it is broken when you clean the
sprayer.
