Before carrying out maintenance or servicing work, always ensure that the air and
material feed to the spray gun have been depressurised. 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 materials in
particular can be harmful to health.
Exhaust air containing particles (overspray) must be kept away from the working

Technical Description

PILOT Trend: Manual spray gun for conventional atomisation
Model version: • with gravity-feed cup
• with material Connection
PILOT Trend-MP: Manual spray gun for medium pressure
Model version: • with gravity-feed cup
• with material Connection
The spraying pressure is 1.2 to 1.4 bar with an input pressure of 3.0 to 3.3 bar
The material flow rate is dependent on the diameter of the nozzle and the adjustment
of the material pressure at the pressure tank or material pressure regulator. In addi-
tion, the material flow rate can be controlled by screwing the adjusting screw (N° 18)
in or out. For further adjustment possibilities, see Section 6. Changing the Spray
Pattern.
