description
PILOT SIL XXII/XXIII: Spray gun for conventional spraying.
When actuating the trigger lever (item 30), the piston (item 27) is moved and first relea-
ses the spray air.
Subsequently, pressure is removed from the squeeze piston (item 22) and the materi-
al in the material hoses (not included in scope of delivery) is
released.
Closing takes place in the reverse sequence.
The spray cone is adjusted by screwing the air cap (item 2) forward or backward.
Once the desired spray size has been set, the air cap is locked with the adjusting collar
(item 3).
The material flow volume depends on the nozzle diameter and the setting of the mate-
rial pressure at the pressure tank or material pressure regulator.

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
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.

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!
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 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. 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)
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.
