Priming With The Suction Extension; Overspray - WAGNER WideShot Owner's Manual

Priming with the Suction Extension

• The time needed to prime will vary from 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending upon the thickness of the material you
are spraying.
• If your sprayer is properly cleaned and oiled and it takes longer than three minutes to prime, your piston and/or
pump housing may be worn and will need to be replaced before using your suction set.
• Using the suction extension will decrease the material flow, so it will take longer to apply the same amount of
material to the surface being sprayed.
1. If you are using the suction extension, you will need to
prime the sprayer by removing air from the system. To
prime:
Make sure the sprayer is plugged in, and turn the flow
control knob counterclockwise to maximum.
3. Aim the sprayer at a piece of scrap wood or cardboard. Squeeze the trigger and hold until all air is out of the system and
material is flowing freely out of the sprayer tip. This could take up to three minutes.
Some sprayed materials create a cloud of paint. Some of that cloud will spray past your intended object and also bounce off of it.
Wind and air currents may cause this cloud to drift onto surfaces not intended to be sprayed. You can control the amount of
overspray and bounce-back by adjusting your flow and moving the sprayer closer to the work piece, but always make sure that
you have a good spray pattern. Always test your pattern on a scrap piece of wood or cardboard, and make sure that you have
drop cloths protecting anything not being sprayed.
ANYTHING YOU DON'T WANT PAINTED THAT IS IN THE AREA OF YOUR SPRAYING SURFACE SHOULD BE COVERED
OR REMOVED.

2. Hold the sprayer below the level of the paint. This will
speed up the priming.
NOTE - The suction set must remain completely submerged
in the material. If it is not completely submerged and air is
sucked into the system, the piston could seize. If the
piston seizes, the sound the gun makes will change to a low
hum and the gun will quickly become hot to the touch.
Never run the sprayer when the piston is seized. Should
this happen, clean the piston and the pump housing
thoroughly using the cleanup procedures found in this
manual.
