Before Each Session
Spray water or the appropriate paint solvent through the
airbrush to make sure the airbrush is working properly.
After Each Session
Or any time the airbrush becomes clogged:
1. Increase the air pressure.
2. Spray cleaning solution for a short time.
3. Clean the needle if necessary
Cleaning the airbrush this way helps clean the paint passage,
the nozzle and the needle thoroughly.
Periodically
To ensure smooth main lever action lubricate the needle
(#11) and the main lever mechanism (#6 or #7) regularly.
1. Unscrew the handle (#13 or #14).
2. Loosen the needle chucking nut (#12).
3. Remove the needle.
4. Coat the needle lightly with a high-quality lubricant, like
Medea Super Lube.
5. Wipe the needle with a soft, clean cloth, leaving a light
coat of lube behind.
6. Re-insert the needle gently into the airbrush.
7. Tighten the needle chucking nut.
8. Screw the handle onto the airbrush body.
Drip one drop of lube into the slot directly behind the main
lever and as close to the main lever as possible.
DO NOT over-lube the needle or the main lever mechanism,
since it is possible to transfer excess lube into the nozzle
causing severe paint flow problems.
DO NOT use light machine oil or WD-40 for lubrication.
These will cause the needle to stick as it moves through the
needle packing o-ring.
CAUTION: If it becomes absolutely necessary to
dismantle the airbrush remember that in most
situations tools are not needed.
