Periodically
To ensure smooth main lever action lubricate the needle
(#17) and the main lever mechanism (#10 or #11) regularly.
1. Unscrew the handle (#17 or #18).
2. Loosen the needle chucking nut (#16).
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.
9. Drip 1 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. DO NOT use pliers. If needed use the provided
wrench to unscrew the head cap (#3).
