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.
