  If your WAGNER Paint Sprayer is spitting or globbing material, it indicates air has entered the system. Here's what you can do: * Refill the paint container if it's low. * If equipped, increase the speed setting. * Ensure the material selector is set to “PAINT”. * Clean and lubricate the O-rings on the filter assembly. * Thin the material if it's too thick. * Clean the spray tip. * Replace the atomizer valve if it is worn. * Clean and oil, or replace the piston if it's worn.

  If your WAGNER Paint Sprayer motor operates properly but doesn't spray, several factors could be at play. Try the following: * Ensure you've oiled the intake opening. * If using a remote suction set, hold the trigger for at least 3 minutes, thin the paint, and keep the sprayer level with the paint can during priming.
