MAINTENANCE
ROUTINE CLEANING
The airbrush is a precision tool, so taking good care of your airbrush will result in
a longer service life.
Keep the airbrush and paint cup / jar clean at all times and do not leave the
airbrush standing with paint in the paint cup for long periods. This tends to gum
up the cup and the internal feeding channels. Most poor spraying results can
be traced back to an airbrush that has not been cleaned properly. Always
clean immediately after use. To clean the airbrush thoroughly, proceed as
follows.
1. Remove and empty the paint jar, wipe thoroughly including the inside of
the cover.
2. Fill the jar ½ full of thinners or water depending upon the paint being
sprayed, re-attach the airbrush and operate the spray to clean the needle,
air cap & nozzle etc. Take care to spray into a safe area, i.e., directly into a
cleaning cloth.
3. Operate the spray until the fluid is clear and no paint residue is visible on
the cloth. Remove the jar and operate the spray to expel thinners etc.
4. Dry with a clean cloth before packing away.
STRIPPING FOR FURTHER CLEANING
Should the airbrush become clogged, it is necessary to strip and clean the unit
which should be carried out on a clear work area. To do this, proceed as
follows:
1. Unscrew and remove the valve assembly using the wrench.
2. Unscrew and remove the tail cover.
