General Safety Instructions

All applicable accident prevention rules and regulations as well as other recognised
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 flam-
mable 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
Before carrying out maintenance or servicing work, always ensure that the air and
material feed to the spray gun have been de-pressurised. 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 materials 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 represent
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)
(PILOTIII F / PILOT III K) or approx. 83 dB (A) (PILOT III F-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.

Model versions: • with gravity-feed cup
• with syphon-feed cup
• with material connection
PILOT III F-MP: Manual spray gun for medium pressure
Model versions: • with gravity-feed cup
• with material connection.
The spraying pressure is 1.2 to 1.4 bar with an input pressure of 3.0 to 3.3 bar.
Ω).

PILOT III K: Manual spray gun for adhesives
Model versions: • with gravity-feed cup
• with material connection.
The material flow rate is dependent on the diameter of the nozzle and the adjustment
of the material pressure at the pressure tank or material pressure regulator. In addi-
tion, the material flow rate can be controlled by screwing the adjusting screw in or
out. For further adjustment possibilities, see Section 6. Changing the Spray Pattern.
Changing the material input of the spray gun
The PILOT III F gun body allows for the possibility to change the material input accor-
ding to user needs. These changes can be performed within seconds.

In case the operation must be reversed and a
gravity-feed cup is to be installed, the steps must
be taken accordingly. Medium-pressure guns,
HVLP guns and spray guns for use with adhesi-
ves may not be equipped with a syphon-feed cup.

Warning
Material and air hoses which are installed with a hose grommet must be additonally
secured with a hose clamp.
