#WAGNER CONTROL PRO 130 MANUAL#
Consult the owner’s manual if your model required assembly before use and make doubly sure that every part is where it should be. However, if the sprayer or seal is brand-new make sure it has been put together correctly. They need to be periodically replaced to prevent leakage. If it is a problematic leak, check up on the gun seal. This should only be when the unit is running and just a little bit at a time. It is important to keep in mind that a little leakage is normal. If the tip itself is leaking this could be a different problem altogether. If they are loose, tighten them up before putting the tip back. If it is leaking, take off the spray tip and check the atomizer valve and tip washer. This is one of the most irritating problems that can get out of hand fast. These are the most common fixes for a Wagner spray gun not spraying. If it’s particularly filthy, an oil or mineral-based cleaner will work wonders. You should be able to easily remove it based on instructions from the user-manual and then clean it with soap and warm water. Lastly, it may be that your spray gun filter is dirty. In which case, you’ll want thoroughly to wash it. Once everything is completely dry, go through and reassemble the gun, making sure to do it in the right order and not leave out any smaller pieces.It may be set to a default position like “clean,” which purposefully turns off the sprayer function. You want to inspect them for any leftover solution or soap as well, since that residue can build up and cause your gun to get clogged or mix with your paint in the future. Step 6 - Let dry, then reassembleįinally, we recommend laying out all the pieces from your spray gun on a clean, dry towel to let them dry completely.

Take extra care here with those smaller pieces and make sure you keep track of them as you clean so they don't get forgotten at the bottom of your sink. Now that you've gotten all the parts disassembled it's time to scrub them clean.Īgain, you can use the cleaning brush that Wagner provides for this process or any other small scrub brush you prefer.Īfter you've soaked any stubborn pieces, you can immerse them in your soapy water and try to scrub off the paint again. Time is of the essence when it comes to paint drying in your assembly! Step 5 - Scrub all the parts until clean This is why we recommend cleaning your gun out after each use and before you walk away from your project. Those inner parts might seem like a hassle, but when clogged they can damage the gun and prevent you from using it again or getting an even spray pattern until they're completely cleared of dried paint. After that, you'll twist the nozzle off to gain access to the inner parts that are essential to clean. Then you'll want to disassemble the front end of the spray gun by simply pulling on the yellow ring around the spray tip until it comes off. If, however, the paint has dried completely and won't budge, we recommend soaking the parts in a cleaning solution or paint thinner until they loosen up.Įxcessive or abrasive scrubbing with these smaller, delicate parts isn't advised since they can easily bend and render your spray gun useless if broken.

This is usually easiest with the brush that Wagner provides with their spray guns since it'll be able to get into all the little nooks and crannies.Īgain, this will be much easier if done immediately after use before the paint has a chance to dry. Next you'll want to clean out the suction tube and the spray nozzle. Step 3 - Clean the suction tube and spray nozzle Just make sure you use protective goggles and gloves when working with paint thinner and properly dispose of it when you're finished. However if you let the paint dry a bit before cleaning, you might need to use a more robust cleaning solution or even paint thinner to get all the excess paint off. If you're doing this immediately after you've used your Wagner spray gun it should come off pretty easily with a simple soapy solution. Now you'll want to get your warm, soapy water ready so you can get rid of the remaining paint within the paint cup.
