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) or approx. 83 dB (A) (PILOT Mini-MP).
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.
For further information on the safe use of the spray gun and the spraying materials,
please contact WALTHER Spritz- und Lackiersysteme GmbH, D-42327 Wuppertal,

Assembly
Note
Use the exploded view at the beginning of these operating instruction to perform the
operational steps described hereafter.
Warning
The air pressure at the gun shall not exceed 8 bar; otherwise a safe operation of the
spray gun cannot be ensured.
Warning
Material and air hoses which are installed with a hose grommet must be additional-
ly secured with a hose clamp.
Design version: gravity-feed cup
1.
Connect the pressure-air hose between the
air supply system (cleaned pressure-air = air
cleaner) and the gun air inlet reducer
(item 21).
2.
Fill the gravity-feed cup with sieved material
and install the cup cover.
3.
Turn the air supply on.
The gun is now ready for operation.

Design version: external material input
1.
Connect the pressure-air hose between the
air supply system (cleaned pressure-air) and
the gun air inlet reducer (item 21).
2.
Connect the material input hose between the
material pressure tank and/ or the material
pressure regulating control of a pumping
system and the material inlet (item 27) of the
gun.
3.
Fill the material pressure tank with material
and close the lid.
4.
Set the desired material pressure at the air
pressure reduction valve; if the material is
supplied via pump systems, the material
pressure is adjusted via the adjustment
wrench at the material pressure control.
5.
Swith on the pneumatic system and set the
desired atomizing air pressure at the reduc-
tion valve.
6.
Open the material tap at the pressure tank.
7.
Pull the trigger (item 26) of the gun to eva-
cuate all air trapped inside the material input
hose. Wait until the material exits in an even
flow from the gun and shut the gun off.
The gun is now ready for operation.

Operation
The following requirements must be met before the spray gun is operated:
•
The atomizing air pressure must be available at the gun
•
The material pressure must be available at the gun.
Attention
The material pressure should not exceed
•
8 bar, since otherwise the operational reliability of the spray gun will be impaired.
Warning
It is important to remember to relieve the spray gun of all pressures when work is
terminated. Lines left under pressure may burst and the released material may cause
injuries.
