Normal use

The manual spray guns of the series PILOT SIL 42 / 43 are designed to be used
exclusively for sprayable media, which cannot form an explosive atmosphere:
Since all wetted parts are made of stainless specialty steel, the spray guns can also
be used for spraying aqueous materials.
Please note that sprayable materials may only be applied to workpieces and/or
similar objects.
The temperature of the spraying material must not exceed 43 °C.
The term "normal use" also implies that all safety warnings, operating handling
details, etc., as stated in these operating instructions are carefully read, understood
and duly complied with.
When using the equipment, the requirements specified in these Operating
Instructions must be observed at all times.
The technical data indicated on the equipment rating plates and the specifications
in the chapter "Technical Data" must be complied with at all times and must not be
exceeded. An overloading of the equipment must be ruled out.
The operator must check and ensure that all technical data and the marking of the
equipment are compliant with the necessary requirements.
The operator must provide corresponding safety measures for all applications in
which the breakdown of the equipment might lead to danger to persons.
If any irregularities are observed while the equipment is in operation, the equipment
must be put out of operation immediately and WALTHER Spritz- und Lackiersysteme
must be consulted.

Technical description

PILOT SIL 42 / 43: Spray gun for conventional spraying
The material supply is permanently blocked by a wedge. Only by operating the
triggering lever, compressed air will flow into the pressure cylinder. This forces the
cylinder up and lifts the wedge, so that the material supply through the material
hoses is released. No continuous air flow required.
Closing takes place in the reverse sequence.
Note
One must only use original hoses from WALTHER, as otherwise leak tightness
cannot be guaranteed.
The spray cone is adjusted by screwing the air cap (item 1) forward or backward.
Once the desired spray size has been set, the air cap is locked with the adjusting
collar (item 2).
The material flow volume depends on the nozzle diameter and the setting of the
material pressure at the pressure tank or material pressure regulator.
