General safety instructions
•
All applicable accident prevention rules and regulations as well as other recognis-
ed 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 smo-
king 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 explosi-
on 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!
•
Always observe the spraying and safety instructions given by the manufacturers
of the spraying material and the cleaning agent. Aggressive and corrosive mate-
rials 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
breathing 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)
•
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.

rials, please contact:

Note
Please refer to the explosion drawing (folded sheet) in the front of these operating
instructions to perform the work steps listed below.
Warning
The air pressure at the gun must range between
min. 2 bar
and
max. 8 bar
since proper functioning of the spray gun can otherwise not be
ensured.
Warning
Material and air hoses mounted on a hose nipple must be secured with a hose
clamp in addition.
Material supply through pressure tank
1. Attach the compressed air hose to the air line (cleaned compressed air) and
to the air connection of the spray gun (item 36).
2. Attach the material supply hoses to the material pressure tanks or material
pressure regulators of a pump system and to the material connections (item 3)
of the spray gun.
3. Fill the material into the material pressure tanks and close the lids.
4. Set the desired material pressures at the compressed air reducing valves; if the
material is supplied via pump systems, the material pressures are set at the
material pressure regulators.
5. Switch on the compressed air and set the desired spray air pressure
pressure reducing valve -
min. 2 bar
6. Open the material cocks at the pressure tanks.
7. To allow the air in the material hoses to escape, actuate the trigger level
(item 34) until uniform material jets exit the nozzles; the gun can now be closed
again.
The gun is now ready to be operated.
