tact with the spraying media are made from stainless steel, water-soluble or aggressi-
ve media may also be used. The following media may be processed:
• Varnish and paint
• Fats/grease, oils and anticorrosive media
• Adhesives
• Ceramic glazes
• Acidic materials
• Mordant agents
If other materials are to be used, please contact WALTHER Spritz- und Lackiersyste-
me GmbH, Wuppertal.
Sprayable material should only be applied to workpieces or similar objects.
The temperature of the material to be sprayed should at no time exceed 42° C.
The term "normal use" also implies that any and all safety warnings and instructions
laid down in this manual have been read, understood and are duly complied with.

PILOT XIII-N:
When the trigger is operated, first the air valve (Item 31) is opened (preliminary
air) and only then is the material needle (Item 18) retracted. Closing is performed
in reverse order.
The material flow rate depends upon the nozzle diameter and the material pres-
sure set at the pressure tank or the material pressure control. The spray gun
PILOT XIII-N is supplied with a gravity feed cup or a pressure feed cup. Through
pressurisation of the material in the cup the feeding of material to the valve in
relation to the input pressure is secured. Material flow can also be adjusted by
screwing in or screwing out the spring bushing (Item 21).
