Operation - WAGNER AG-08 Owner's Manual

Operation

1. Make sure the arrow on the tip handle is pointing in the forward direction for spraying.
2. Start the sprayer. Refer to the instructions in the sprayer's Owner's Manual.
3. Adjust the fluid pressure on the sprayer until the spray is completely atomized. Always spray
at the lowest pressure necessary to get the desired results.
i
The spray tip determines the size of spray pattern and coverage. When more
coverage is needed, use a larger tip instead of increasing fluid pressure.
4. To clear a clogged tip:
a. Rotate the tip 180º so that the arrow on the tip handle is pointing opposite the spray
direction.
b. Trigger the gun once so that the pressure can blow the clog out.
Never pull the trigger more than once at time
with the tip in the reverse position.
Attention
c. Continue this procedure until the tip is clear of the clog.
Changing a Tip
Tips can be removed and replaced easily without disassembling the gun.
Never attempt to change or clean the tip or tip guard without first performing the
"Pressure Relief Procedure."
1. Perform the "Pressure Relief Procedure" described in the sprayer's Owner's Manual.
2. Remove the tip from the slot on the tip guard.
3. Insert the new tip into the slot on the tip guard. The arrow on the tip handle should be pointing
in the forward direction for spraying.
Removing the Seal and Tip seal
1. Remove the tip and tip guard from the spray gun.
2. Remove the seal and tip seal from the back of the tip guard.
Identifying Tip Sizes
To identify tip sizes, use the following formula. A "517" tip size will be used in this example.
The first digit multiplied by two represents the size of the spray pattern when spraying 12" away from
the work surface:
5 x 2 = 10" spray pattern
The second two digits represent the diameter of the orifice on the tip:
17 = .017" orifice
i
Worn spray tips will adversely affect the spray pattern and result in reduced
production, poor finish, and wasted material. Replace worn tips immediately.
