Operation and Maintenance Instructions for
Jaguar Spray Guns
Operation
1. Connect air supply hose at handle of gun (see page 1 for suggested gun inlet pressures).
2. The optional air control valve built into the gun ha ndle can be used to adjust
gun inlet pressure.
3. Screw thepaint cup onto the gun’s gravity feed fluid inlet.
4. Fluid flow can be controlled using the fluid control knob, this restricts flow by
limiting needle travel. It is best to control fluid flow by proper selection of fluid orifice
size and use the fluid control knob to “fine tune flow rate.”
5. Fan width can be adjusted using fan control knob. Turning the knob clockwise narrow
the fan.
Maintenance
IMPORTANT! Routine cleaning and maintenance is essential to insure proper gun operation.
Several states prohibit spraying solvent into the atmosphere and require the use of a covered gun cleaner.
1. If a gun cleaner is being used, connect and clean the gun in the gun cleaner according to the manufacturers in-
structions.
2. If a gun cleaner is not being used:
First clean the gravity feed cup thoroughly, then spray clean solvent through the gun until clean.
NOTE: Gun head disassembly is not recommended for normal cleaning and
maintenance.
Gun head disassembly and reassembly instructions
Gun head disassembly
To remove the nozzle carrier (6) and air cap adapter (7):
1. Remove the air cap (2), fluid nozzle tip (3), fluid nozzle body (4), and needle (14).
2. Remove the needle seal cartridge (24).
3. Loosen the locknut (10) and remove fluid inlet (11) using an 11/16” wrench.
4. The nozzle carrier and air cap adapter will now slide forward from the gun handle (12).
Gun head assembly
1. Install a new o-ring (8) on the air cap adapter.
2. For model L300H only, install a new o-ring 98-8026 onto the air cap adapter.
3. Install the thread locknut (10) onto the fluid inlet as far as possible.
4. Install a new seal (9) onto the fluid inlet.
5. Slide the nozzle carrier (6) into air cap adapter (7) and insert into the gun body as far as possible. Be sure the
nozzle carrier extends into the hole at the back of the gun head. Install the needle seal (24) but do not tighten.
6. Rotate the nozzle carrier until the fluid inlet port in the nozzle carrier is aligned with the threaded hole in the gun
body. While in this position, insert the fluid inlet (11) and hand tighten firmly. DO NOT WRENCH TIGHTEN UNITL
STEP 8.
7. Tighten the needle seal (24) to approx. 12 ft-lb. torque.
8. Tighten the fluid inlet (11) to approx. 25 ft-lb. torque.
9. Tighten the locknut (10) to approx. 33 ft-lb. torque.
