5.3  After Each Use  

<continued>

Clean the rest of the airbrush body and dry thoroughly.

Make sure the entire airbrush is re-assembled properly.

Spray  some  water  or  alcohol  through  your  airbrush  to  make 

sure it has been thoroughly cleaned and is functioning properly 

before storing.

Note:

 After  your  airbrush  parts  have  been  removed  and  cleaned, 

they must then be carefully replaced and adjusted in their designat-

ed positions. Failure to align each part correctly will prevent your 

airbrush  from  functioning  properly.  In  many  instances,  when  an 

airbrush  fails  to  perform  correctly,  these  problems  result  from 

improper cleaning and/or alignment of parts.

5.4  Airbrush Back Flushing

Remove the rear handle cap, loosen the needle lock and retract 

the  needle  slightly  back  into  the  fluid  nozzle.    Retighten  the 

needle lock.

Partially fill the paint reservoir with water or cleaner.

Using  your  finger  or  a  towel,  carefully  block  the  front  of  the 

airbrush opening (needle cap). Refer to Figure 5A below.

Pull  trigger to push air upstream into the paint reservoir to back 

flush (bubbles will appear in paint reservoir).

Hold 15 to 20 seconds. Then pour out the dirty solution.

Repeat  back  flushing  until  the  water  or  cleaner  in  the  paint 

reservoir remains clean.
