JGP-504 CONVENTIONAL SPRAY GUN

JGPV-504 HVLP SPRAY GUN

OPERATION

NOTE

Protective coating and rust inhibitors 

have  been  used  to  keep  the  gun  in 

good  condition  prior  to  shipment.   

Before  using  the  gun,  flush  it  with 

solvent so that these materials will be 

removed from fluid passages.

Strain  material  through  60  or  90  mesh 

screen.  Adjust fluid pressure to deliver the 

desired paint volume.  Adjust air pressure 

and flow to provide a uniform dispersion 

of atomized paint throughout the pattern.  

Keep  air  pressure  as  low  as  possible  to 

minimize  bounce  -  back  and  overspray.  

Excessive  fluid  flow  will  result  in  heavy 

center spray patterns.  Inadequate flows 

may  cause  the  pattern  to  split.    See 

Troubleshooting,  Page  6,  if  any  prob-

lems occur.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

To clean air cap and fluid tip, brush exte-

rior with a stiff bristle brush. If necessary 

to  clean  cap  holes,  use  a  broom  straw 

or  toothpick.  Never  use  a  wire  or  hard  

instrument. This may scratch or burr holes 

causing a distorted spray pattern.

To  clean  fluid  passages,  remove  excess 

material at source, then flush with a suit-

able  solvent  using  a  device  such  as  the 

SolventSaver™  (see  Accessories).  Wipe 

gun  exterior  with  a  solvent  dampened 

cloth.  Never completely immerse in sol-

vent as this is detrimental to the lubricants 

and packings.

NOTE

When replacing the fluid tip or fluid 

needle,  replace  both  at  the  same 

time. Using worn parts can cause 

fluid  leakage.  See  Chart  2.  Also, 

replace the needle packing at this 

time. Lightly lubricate the threads 

of the fluid tip before reassembling.  

Torque to 12-15 ft. lbs. Do not over-

tighten the fluid tip.

DESCRIPTION

Models  JGP  and  JGPV  are  lightweight, 

high production spray guns. JGP models 

are conventional air spray, and JGPV are 

high volume, low pressure (HVLP). The gun 

bodies  are  constructed  of  very  durable, 

solvent  resistant  Verton®  (filled  nylon). 

Fluid passages are constructed of 300 grade 

stainless steel. Fluid tips and needles are 

also 300 grade stainless, and the fluid tip 

includes the "soft seat" UHMW polyethyl-

ene insert, for longer service life.

SPECIFICATIONS

Weight: 17 oz.

Max. Air Pressure: 100 PSI

Max. Fluid Pressure: 150 PSI

NOTE

These guns may be used with chlori-

nated type solvents, but refer to Page 

2 for additional warnings.

Important:  This  gun  may  be  used  with 

most common coating and finishing ma-

terials. It is designed for use with mildly 

corrosive and non-abrasive materials. If 

used with other highly corrosive or abra-

sive materials, it must be expected that 

frequent  and  thorough  cleaning  will  be 

required and the necessity for replacement 

of parts will be increased.

INSTALLATION

To  avoid  damage  to  gun  body,  do 

not  overtighten  air  hose  connec-

tion at air inlet. Use two wrenches 

if necessary.

Attach air hose to 1/4" NPS air inlet swivel 

on  gun  handle.  The  air  inlet  swivel  in-

cludes a tapered seat and is designed for 

use with hose connections containing a 

similar seat. 

Attach  fluid  hose  to  3/8"  NPS  fluid  inlet 

fitting on gun.

SPRAY GUN LUBRICATION

Daily, apply a drop of SSL-10 spray gun 

lube at trigger bearing stud (16) and the 

stem of the air valve (8) where it enters the 

air valve assembly (12). The shank of the 

fluid needle (26) where it enters the pack-

ing nut (14) should also be oiled. The fluid 

needle packing (13) should be lubricated 

periodically. Make sure the baffle (5) and 

retaining  ring  (1)  threads  are  clean  and 

free of foreign matter. Before assembling 

retaining ring to baffle, clean the threads 

thoroughly, then add two drops of SSL-10 

spray gun lube to threads. The fluid needle 

spring (23) and air valve spring (7) should 

be coated with a light grease, making sure 

that any excess grease will not clog the 

air  passages.  For  best  results,  lubricate 

the points indicated, daily.

D.  Baffle Threads

E.   Air Valve Cartridge

To prevent damage to the fluid tip 

(3) or fluid needle (26), be sure to 

either 1) pull the trigger and hold 

while  tightening  or  loosening  the 

fluid tip or 2) remove fluid needle 

adjusting  screw  (21)  to  relieve 

spring  pressure  against  needle   

collar.
