1.2 Normal Use
The hand-held spray gun PILOT Rapid is designed exclusively for use with sprayable
media, including water-based and aggressive media, such as:
• paints and laquers
• greases, oils and corrosion preventives
• ceramic glazes
• pickling solutions
If you have any questions, please contact WALTHER Spritz- und Lackiersysteme
GmbH, Wuppertal.
Sprayable material should only be applied to work pieces or similar objects.
The temperature of the material to be sprayed should at no time exceed 43° C.
The term
1.2 Normal Use
also implies that any and all safety warnings and instruc-
tions laid down in these operating instructions have been read, understood and are
duly complied with.
This equipment complies with the explosion protection requirements of Directive
94/9/EC (ATEX) for the explosion group, equipment category and temperature class
indicated on the type plate. 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 equipment may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres only with the
authorisation of the relevant supervisory authority.
The relevant supervisory authority or the operator of the equipment are
responsible for determining the explosion hazard (zone classification).
The operator must check and ensure that all technical data and the marking of the
equipment in accordance with ATEX are compliant with the necessary require-
ments.
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 equip-
ment must be put out of operation immediately and WALTHER Spritz- und
Lackiersysteme must be consulted.
Grounding / Equipotential Bonding
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 ).
1.3 Improper Use
The spray gun must not be used for purposes other than those laid down in the
above section 1.2 Normal Use .
Any other form of use is prohibited.
Improper use includes
• the spraying of material on persons and animals;
• the use of liquid nitrogen.
2 Technical Description
PILOT Rapid: Manual spray gun for conventional atomisation
Model versions: • with material connection
PILOT Rapid-MP: Manual spray gun for medium pressure
Model versions: • with material connection.
With the PILOT Rapid-MP 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 33) is followed by opening of the valve cone (item 6)
(initial air input) with subsequent pull-back of the material control needle (item
12). 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 set-
ting of the material pressure at the material pressure tank or at the material pres-
sure regulating control.
The material input volume may also be regulated at the needle adjusting screw
(item 14) by turning it inwards or outwards.
The spray-jet adjuster (item 25) 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 20) is used to adjust the atomizing air
input.
