Cleaning & taking apart Wagner Paint Crew Airless Sprayer

Watch with child-like wonder and slack jawed amazement as I disassemble and clean a wagner sprayer. Chances are that if you have one of these you have had problems with it at least once. The most common part that needs repair is under the tray filter. You can take it out and clean it to working condition in most cases. Remember to put a few drops of mineral or vegetable oil at that part when you are done cleaning out the paint and ready to put it away. It helps stop any extra paint from seizing the part.
Sorry the video is not much good. I just taped my iPhone to a ball cap.

Stick a 3/8 ratchet extension in the center hole of the plastic extractor and attach a ratchet, it will easily break the brass plug free without messing up the plastic tool.

Thanks for posting. I used this sprayer to paint a barn two years ago. I got it out of the garage today and found that we didn't get it clean enough from just running water through it. Your video will help us get it going again.

[@tnyardangel]

Thank you for the instructions, my confidence level is up now. I'm going to go clean the one I got for $60 at a yard sale that only has mild paint build up compared to this one.

[@TimHeagarty]

Didn't mean to sound short on this comment. Your video helped me know that a part that was stuck was just stuck with paint. My poor old Paint Crew is spraying again! Thanks.

[@kevinmorgan4234]

Tape the Iphone to a ball cap, nice.. And I thought you had a GoPro!Thanks for sharing the spirit of wonder I learned a lot.

[@timsox2224]

circlip plyers would take that keeper ring off with ease, wonderful video, really helped me decide to buy this sprayer, knowing I could repair/clean it deep if I need to!, thanks

[@korg502006]

Nice clean up, thanks for the info. Would have been nice to see the whole thing assembled and (maybe) sparkling clean !

[@jimturner6400]

Cheers mate my kind of repair just get stuck in and do it ...... off down to my workshop right now ! Thanks .

[@GerardoZuniga]

Great advise thank you

[@Nyck461]

I liked your video, very informative. By the way, on my machine I need to replace the part showed on your video at 8:39 to 8:44 The same one at 8:57 .By any chance, do you know the part number and the name of that part? That is a plastic ( lobe , cam ?) and mine is broken. As this is a old model I don't even know if they still making parts anymore.

[@JRADMAKES]

Thanks hightideblue. My neighbor gave me one of these cus his boss said it worked, but now I have hope in getting it to work. Can you confirm that it worked when you put it back together?

[@therevealing-studiesfromli4419]

Use a Socket handle with an Extention will fit right in the White piece...

[@KevfalconG]

Hi from the UK quick question at 9:10 the black spring plate on my unit has snapped is there anywhere i can buy a replacement ?

[@GulfCoastGirl5]

You don't need alcohol, latex paint will come off with hot soapy water. There was no need to take the motor apart either. Oh and that inlet valve is mean to have a ratchet used with extension into the white tool to take the plug out... tells you right in the manual.

[@maricarmenroman3782]

Good afternoon, my machine stopped taking pressure during a job. Throw the paint but without excessive force. The function "prime" does not do it, and I thought it could be that valve that is dirty with paint, however I do not know how to disassemble the red knob to access the nuts and clean that part, because if I put a wire I notice the presence of paint inside. Any ideas?

[@anthonywarhurst3201]

Hi. Iv got this exact machine. For some reason mine has no power what so ever. Do you have any ideas why this would be. Iv replaced the fuse but still nothing. Thanks

[@paulmersonvillalegend1192]

I’ve got one of these & my hose shakes vigorously after being primed & there’s not much pressure & the motor doesn’t cut out it constantly runs I’ve taken out the inlet & outlet valves cleaned them sparkling any ideas what this could be?
I’m a new build house basher from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 & this machine is ideal for finishing ceilings.
Any help would be greatly appreciate.

[@mexban]

there could be a o ring that is cracked inside the inlet where the paint drains down into the hose

I agree with Timpala. It was very upsetting to see you shove a screwdriver into the 3/8th ratchet hole, but I kept watching hoping you had some idea of what you're doing. I think next time you video yourself taking something apart, make sure you've done it before.

[@1966johnnywayne]

"Watch with child-like wonder and slack jawed amazement..." You do know me...

[@jimmylairseyjr.7711]

First use a 3/8 Rachel extension to loosen the top nut.

[@ormonddude]

Dude use some Mineral Spirits or Paint Thinner - Disk at a angle is called a squash plate - you need a snap ring plier its like $5.99 at ace even less at harbor freight - You don't want to scratch all those surfaces with a screwdriver - Use a Solvent

[@elolfato]

We call those snap rings, and they make snap ring pliers to install or remove them. Thank you for the video.

[@artykslam]

Such a shame they let that sprayer like that, those things are ridiculously expensive in here like 900 bucks I live outside the us😢

[@anthonyjulian293]

Use an extension and a socket wrench in the middle of the plastic tool guy!!

[@Timpala]

That hole that you jammed a screwdriver into is made for a 3/8" drive ratchet.

[@michaelvestergaard9784]

Hi, Nice video, can you tell me more exactly what the fluid are that you have in the bucket, you say Alcohol in your video, but i dont know what that is here in Denmark, i hope you can help me, Thank a lot, Have a nice day Best regards Michael

[@calartian85]

Michael Vestergaard Look for isopropyl alcohol. To make things even more confusing we some times call it rubbing alcohol.

[@mysterysauce9674]

What solution were you using when you said alcohol

[@calartian85]

Mystery Sauce isopropyl alcohol.

[@albertbryan7132]

Here in the states you can buy at grocery stores and pharmacies. I know in Scotland it wasnt as available due to it being consumed orally.

[@jeffbarron5500]

Snap ring pliers for that clip

[@jannejarvinen790]

how do i disassemble the prime/spay valve (reb knob) ? Mine works but it seems like that valve isn´t working okay as there is paint flowing in spray position also thru return pipe.

[@maricarmenroman3782]

The same thing happens to me, I do not know how to dismantle that command. In the end, did you solve it? How did you do it? Thank you

[@TheHanksterhank]

Need the model number for parts

[@JACKHAMMER82A1]

If it was cleaned properly after each use wouldn't have an issue

[@theomorgillo6237]

Your supposed to use a ratchet that fits in there

[@albertbryan7132]

That would be rubbing alcohol.

[@yvonkeuninckx7531]

Really a dirty machine, you didn't dismantle the spray gun because there is a filter in the handle and if not cleaned or replaced it will not work well. What do you do with the hose if it's also clogged, I don't know of a way to clean it, come back to us with your complete proposals this time.
Thank you nice video if we don't count the times we don't see what you're doing because the shot is out of scope.

[@seawinds12]

if u clean it after u use it would save all this

[@theexcitingfbcapopka]

Then what would you learn.

[@tommyt7106]

Dam bro your pretty dangerous with tools

[@DoubleNickle]

This guy is having more trouble than tips.

[@eltony69]

You never clean the machine and this happens after each use need clean same is for all tools you act like hungry when is your fault

[@nickthetricy]

Your no professional
