How to Assemble the Wagner Power Roller Plus
A Wagner Paintmate Plus is a power roller for applying paint to walls and ceilings that requires little fill time. A round plunger handle pulls back to apply pressure to the paint fill tube and sucks the paint into the large round body of the roller. The paint stores in this area and exits the power roller through the roller cover to paint items. This eliminates the need for messy paint trays and drips of paint while adding more paint to the roller. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Placing petroleum jelly on the paint-can fill tube will allow the tool to slide on and off the tube for quick refills.
The splatter guard catches paint that may drip when painting overhead to reduce spills on the floor and the painter.
Always remove the paint from the tube after each use. Paint left in the tube will lead to dry paint flecks being deposited with the next paint job.
