Iwata Revolution TR1, Manual & Parts Manual

Page: 6 / 18

Compressor
Choose an appropriate compressor for your Revolution
airbrush. The Iwata Sprint Jet and Smart Jet compressors are
good beginner’s choices and will provide approximately 30
psi of air pressure to the Revolution. 30 psi provides a finely
atomized background spray in addition to controllable fine
detail performance.
Assembly
1. Screw the airhose onto the compressor.
2. Screw the airhose onto the airbrush.
Spraying
1. Pull the trigger (#9) back slightly and only the air will
come out.
2. Pull the trigger back more until paint starts to spray
in small amounts.
3. Pulling the trigger back further releases even more paint
until the trigger is pulled as far as it can go.
Fine-Line Spray
1. Pull the trigger (#9) slightly back to start airflow.
2. Position the airbrush close to the surface, between 1/16
and 1/2 inch is common.
3. If using a Power Jet, Power Jet Lite, or Power Jet Pro
compressor, adjust the pressure to between 30 and 45 psi.
4. Check for any air leaks in the compressor or airhoses
5. Place a few drops of cleaner into the bowl.
6. Point the airbrush away from you.
7. Pull back on the trigger (#9) a little to start the flow of
air through the airbrush.
8. Pull back on the trigger all the way to fully open the
nozzle of the airbrush.
9. Spray cleaning solution through the airbrush to rinse out
any residual pre-testing pigment.
3. Pull the trigger back more to start the flow of paint.
Stippling
Iwata airbrushes are designed to produce a wide range of stippling
textures.
1. Unscrew the needle cap (#1)
2. Unscrew the nozzle cap (#2)
3. Adjust the air pressure between 5 and 50 psi.
Lower air pressure will give you coarse stipple whereas higher
pressure will provide a fine stipple effect. Paint viscosity will
also effect the stippling texture.
