The ARISM VIZ uses the Sparmax Smart-Stop design, which automatically stops the compressor when a SPARMAX airbrush is
placed into the holder on the compressor. This energy saving design allows users to stop the compressor when not in use, and
when coupled with Silver Bullet™ Plus Airbrush Moisture Trap with Bleed Valve, can return the airbrush to the desired working
pressure when restarted. This reduces pressure fluctuations when compared to using an auto on/off switch and regulator. The
Smart-Stop is an intuitive design which aims to improve user experience whilst extending the lifetime of the compressor.

1. First use: Carefully unpack the unit, verify that all parts listed in the “Parts List” are present, and visually inspect for damage. If there are any signs of
damage or if any parts are missing, do not use the product. Contact your retailer or supplier immediately.
2. Place the compressor in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area that has adequate air circulation.
3. Screw one end of the Braided Hose onto the compressor’s Air Outlet located below the Pressure Gauge, and the other end of the hose to the Silver
Bullet™ Plus Air Inlet. Then screw your airbrush onto the Silver Bullet™ Plus. NOTE: Different adaptors may be required for different airbrush brands and
models. If your airbrush needs an adapter, please contact your local retailer or supplier.
4. Place the airbrush holder in the designated area.
5. Plug the appropriate end of the power cable into the compressor.

To adjust air pressure, turn the pressure adjustment knob on the Silver Bullet™ Plus
clockwise to increase air pressure, or counter-clockwise to decrease air pressure.
NOTE: When working with adjusted air pressure, airflow leak from the Silver Bullet™
Plus to any point, will not cause an auto shut off like a traditional auto-stop and
regulator set up. Instead, the ARISM VIZ uses the Smart-Stop feature, which pauses
the compressor only when the airbrush is placed back into the holder, indicating a
break in spraying.
When condensation forms in the Silver Bullet™ Plus, push on the Silver Bullet™ Plus Drain Valve to release built-up
moisture. Perform this operation as often as needed – with greater frequency the higher the humidity. SUGGES-
TION: When pushing on the drain valve, hold a paper towel under the drain to collect water released from the drain.
When the airbrush is not in use, place it into the Airbrush Holder, the compressor
will stop due to the Smart-Stop design. The compressor will start working again at
previous adjusted pressure when the airbrush is taken off the holder.
6. To avoid damage, do not expose the Smart-Stop airbrush holder to water or any forms of liquid.
7. Avoid touching any exposed metal parts on the compressor during, or immediately after, operation. The compressor may be warm to the touch for
several minutes after operation.
8. It is recommended that the compressor run continuously for no more than 40 minutes. After 40 minutes of continuous operation, use the On/Off
Switch to turn off the unit or place the airbrush into the holder to pause the compressor. Allow the unit to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before turning the
compressor back on.
9.
The compressor has a thermal safety switch which automatically ceases compressor operation when the compressor becomes too hot. If this
happens, use the On/Off Switch to turn off the compressor. Allow the unit to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before turning the compressor back on.
10. After each use, make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged. Also be sure to release any remaining air from the compressor by depressing the
airbrush trigger.
Troubleshooting
If airflow is not sufficient …
• Check for air leaks where air can be heard escaping, or apply a soap and water solution on all connections. Resulting bubbles indicate an air leak.
Tighten fittings where necessary.
• PTFE seal tape is recommended for all threaded connections.
• Replace the Air Hose if the hose is torn or damaged.
If compressor shuts off frequently, the motor fails to come up to full speed or becomes hotter than usual during operation …
• Disconnect other appliances that are using the same power outlet.
• Avoid using extension cords.
If problems arise which you cannot solve with the information provided above, please contact your retailer or supplier for assistance. Do not
attempt to fix the device yourself. Improper operation and/or dismantling of the device may damage the compressor. If any parts/accessories are
damaged, please contact your retailer or supplier for replacement or repair.
