Wagner SprayTech 9175 User Manual

A high pressure paint stream  produced by this equipment 

can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to 

serious injury and possible amputation.  See a physician 

immediately.

The maximum operating range of the gun is 3000 PSI/207 BAR fluid 

pressure.

PREVEnTIOn:
 

•  NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body. 

 

•  Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.

 

•  NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream. DO 

NOT allow body to touch a leak in the fluid hose.

 

•  NEVER put your hand in front of the gun.  Gloves will not 

provide protection against an injection injury.

 

•  ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump off, and release all 

pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip or guard, changing 

tip, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be released by 

turning off the motor.  The PRIME/SPRAY knob must be turned 

to PRIME to relieve the pressure.  Refer to the Pressure Relief 

Procedure (page 7) described in the pump manual.

 

•  ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip 

guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.

 

•  ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the 

system.

 

•  Paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse.  A 

leak can inject material into the skin.  Inspect the hose before 

each use.  Do not use hose to lift or pull equipment.

 

•  NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and 

trigger guard in place.

 

•  All accessories must be rated at or above 3000 PSI/207 BAR.  

This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.

Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials can 

be harmful if inhaled or come in contact with the body.  

Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.

 

•  Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be inhaled.  

Read all instructions supplied with the mask to be 

sure it will provide the necessary protection. 

 

•  Wear protective eyewear.

 

•  Wear protective clothing as required by coating 

manufacturer.

Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.  Property 

damage and/or severe injury can occur.

 

•  Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to keep the 

air within the spray area free from accumulation of flammable 

vapors.  Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.

 

•  Do not spray in a confined area.

 

•  Avoid all ignition sources such as static electric 

sparks, open flames, pilot lights, electrical 

appliances, and hot objects.  Connecting or 

disconnecting power cords or working light 

switches can make sparks.  Paint or solvent 

flowing through the equipment is able to result in 

static electricity.

 

•  Do not smoke in spray area.

 

•  Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working order.

 

•  Place pump at least 20 feet (6.1 meters) from the spray object in 

a well ventilated area (add more hose if necessary).  Flammable 

vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area must be extremely 

well ventilated.  The pump contains arcing parts that emit sparks 

and can ignite vapors.

 

•  The equipment and objects in and around the spray area must 

be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.

 

•  Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags 

and other flammable materials.

 

•  Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hose.  Gun 

must be grounded through hose connections.

 

•  Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.

 

•  Always flush unit into a separate metal container, at low pump 

pressure, with spray tip removed.  Hold gun firmly against side 

of container to ground container and prevent static sparks.

 

•  Follow the material and solvent manufacturer’s warnings and 

instructions.  Know the contents of the paints and solvents being 

sprayed.  Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and 

container labels provided with the paints and solvents.  Follow 

the paint and solvent manufacturer’s safety instructions.

 

•  Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint 

below 70ºF (21ºC).  Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid 

can produce enough vapors to ignite.

 

•  Plastic can cause static sparks.  Never hang plastic to enclose 

a spray area.  Do not use plastic drop cloths when spraying 

flammable materials.

 

•  Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.

 

•  Do not spray onto pump assembly.

Will cause property damage or severe injury.
PREVEnTIOn:
 

•  Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.

 

•  Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as bleach, 

mildewcide, methylene chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane.  They 

are not compatible with aluminum.

 

•   Contact your coating supplier about the compatibility of material with 

aluminum.
