Technical Description

PILOT Mini-HD: Manual spray gun for conventional atomisation
Model versions: • with gravity-feed cup
• with material connection
PILOT Mini-MD: Manual spray gun for medium pressure
Model versions: • with gravity-feed cup
• with material connection.
With the PILOT Mini-MD the spraying pressure is from 1.2 to 1.4 bar with an input
pressure of 3.0 to 3.3 bar.
Pulling of the trigger (item 26) is followed by opening of the valve cone (item 7) (initial
air input) with subsequent pull-back of the material needle (item 13). Releasing of
the trigger shuts the gun off in reverse order.
The material flow rate depends on the diameter of the nozzle used and on the setting
of the material pressure at the material pressure tank or at the material pressure
regulating control.
The material input volume may also be regulated at the needle adjusting screw
(item 15) by turning it inwards or outwards.
The spray-jet adjuster (item 18) is used to control the spray jet ratio, i.e.
LH-turn (outwards) = flat jet,
RH-turn (inwards) = round jet.
The air volume regulating control (item 17) is used to adjust the atomizing air input.

3 General Safety Instructions
All applicable accident prevention rules and regulations as well as other recognis-
ed industrial safety and health rules and regulations must be observed at all
times.
Use the spray gun only in well-ventilated rooms. Fire, naked flames and smoking
are strictly prohibited within the working area. WARNING – during the spraying of
flammable materials (e.g. lacquers, adhesives, cleaning agents, etc.), there is an
increased risk to health as well as an increased risk of explosion and fire.
Measures must be taken to ensure that the spray gun is sufficiently grounded
(earthed) by means of a conductive air hose (maximum resistance 10 6 Ω).
Before carrying out maintenance or servicing work, always ensure that the air and
material feed to the spray gun have been depressurised. Risk of injury!
When spraying materials, do not place your hands or other parts of the body in
front of the pressurised nozzle or the spray gun. Risk of injury!
Never point the spray gun at persons or animals. Risk of injury!
Always observe the spraying and safety instructions given by the manufacturers
of the spraying material and the cleaning agent. Aggressive and corrosive materi-
als in particular can be harmful to health.
Exhaust air containing particles (overspray) must be kept away from the working
area and personnel. In spite of these measures, always wear the regulation brea-
thing masks and protective overalls when using the gun. Airborne particles repre-
sent a serious health hazard!
Always wear hearing protection when using the gun or when in the vicinity of a
gun that is in use. The noise level generated by the spray gun is approx. 85 dB
(A) (PILOT Mini-HD) or approx. 83 dB (A) (PILOT Mini-MD).
After carrying out assembly or maintenance work, always ensure that all nuts,
bolts and screw connections have been fully tightened before the gun is used.
Use only original replacement parts, since WALTHER can only guarantee safe
and fault-free operation for original parts.
