5.8  Cleaning the Fluid Needle

Wipe needle clean (start from the back end and wipe towards the 

needle  tip).  Carefully  slide  needle  back  into  the  airbrush,  while 

adding a little twist to make sure it sets firmly into the fluid nozzle.  

Re-tighten needle lock and re-attach rear handle cap.

Before replacing the needle, you may apply a light coat of lubricant 

to the needle to facilitate smooth trigger motion.

5.9  Airbrush Lubrication

Caution:

 Do not use light machine oil, WD40 or any petroleum and 

silicon  based  products  for  lubrication.  Doing  so  will  cause  the 

needle  to  stick  as  it  moves  through  the  needle  packing  and  may 

contaminate the paint.

To ensure smooth operation, lubricate the needle regularly. Periodi-

cally remove the fluid needle and coat with high quality airbrush 

lubricant. Then wipe the needle with a soft clean cloth, leaving a 

light coat of lubricant.

Caution:

 Do not over lubricate the needle. Doing so may transfer 

excess lubricant into the nozzle and paint reservoir causing severe 

paint flow problems and paint contamination. 

After a full tear down and cleaning, it is recommended to inspect the 

slider (#8) and shift pin (#18) to ensure they are sufficiently lubricat-

ed (refer to schematic on page 20).  Use a high quality multipurpose 

synthetic grease (such as Super Lube).  This should be applied to the 

o-rings and top of shift pin, as well as the under side of the slider 

before re-assembly.  Refer to Figure 5F below.

Figure 5F.
