OPERATION
HeavyCoat
4.
Fill the oil cup 1/2 full with EasyGlide (P/N 0508619). This
extends packing life.
Attention
EasyGlide prevents increased wear and tear to
the packings.
5.
Check the hydraulic fluid level daily before starting the
sprayer. The hydraulic fluid level should be touching
the bottom of the dipstick. Refer to the Maintenance
section of this manual for hydraulic system maintenance
instructions.
Attention
Use of Wagner’s Hydraulic Fluid (P/N 0555425)
is mandatory in the hydraulic system. Do not
use any other hydraulic fluid. Use of any other
hydraulic fluid may seriously damage the
hydraulic system and will void the warranty.
6.
For gas models, check the engine oil level daily before
starting the sprayer. The gasoline engine oil level is
determined by the engine manufacturer. Refer to the
engine manufacturer’s service manual supplied with this
sprayer.
7.
For electric models, use a 15 amp service outlet. Always
locate the electric model within 10 to 15 feet of the service
outlet. Use a short electric cable and a long paint hose.
Any extension cord will create some voltage drop. If an
extension cord is necessary, use only a grounded 3-wire
12-gauge extension cord.
8.
Make sure the sprayer is grounded/earthed. All sprayers are
equipped with a grounding/earthing lug. A grounding/
earthing cable should be used to connect the sprayer to a
true earth ground. Check your local electrical regulations
for detailed grounding/earthing instructions.
Proper grounding/earthing is important. The
passage of some materials through the nylon
fluid hose will build up a static electric charge,
which if discharged, could ignite solvent vapors
present and create an explosion.
9.
Strain all paints with a nylon strainer to ensure trouble
free operation and freedom from frequent cleaning of the
suction filter and gun filter.
10.
Make sure the spray area is well ventilated to prevent
hazardous operation with volatile solvents or exhaust
fumes.
If lacquer or other flammable materials are to be
sprayed, ALWAYS locate the sprayer outside the
immediate spraying area. Failure to do so may
cause an explosion.
11.
Locate the sprayer outside the immediate spraying area to
avoid clogged air intake of the engine with overspray.
