Technical description

The hand spray gun PILOT TWIN is a very light, easy to handle spray gun, which
has been specially developed for the application of low-viscosity release agents.
With its convenient short gun body and the feed of spraying air and spraying material
through the gun handle, this gun offers extremely convenient handling.
Switch on the compressed air supply on and adjust the required atomizer air on
the reducing valve. Pulling the trigger (Item 17) first opens the air valve (pre-air)
and finally pulls back the material needle. Closing takes place in reverse order.
The spray jet is controlled by replacing or removing the air distribution ring (Item 2)
(see 6 Change spray pattern).
