ECLIPSE G6 DESCRIPTION OF FEATURES
Pattern Adjustment Set (#15)
This adjustment creates a circular- or oval-shaped spray pattern.
When the valve is fully closed, twisted fully clockwise, the spray
pattern will be a round shape. The round pattern is best for doing
graphics in small areas. When the valve is fully opened, twisted fully
counter-clockwise, the spray pattern will be an oval shape, also
known as a fan pattern. The oval fan pattern provides a smooth
background spray.
When using the Power Jet compressor, the pattern adjustment
valve should only be opened a maximum of ½ turn. Using a
compressor with power greater than 1 HP allows the valve to be
fully opened, creating the fan pattern shape.
Air Cap (#1)
The air cap produces a round or an oval fan-shaped pattern
depending on how the pattern adjustment valve is set. Refer to
the Pattern Adjustment Set Instructions if necessary.
Orientation of the oval varies based on where the finger-like
protrusions are oriented. The finger-like protrusions dictate
where the fat part of the oval will be. Spray with the fat part of the
oval. If the oval is vertical, spray up and down. If the oval is horizon-
tal, spray side to side.
Change the orientation by simply twisting the aircap.
Fluid Adjustment Knob (#20)
The fluid adjustment knob limits how much fluid will be sprayed
when the trigger is pulled all the way back. After setting the spray
pattern (see #15 and #1 descriptions), the fluid adjustment knob
sets the amount of spray delivered to an object’s surface. This
feature proves invaluable each time the trigger is pulled back while
spraying large areas that need precise, repeatable spray output. It’s
cruise control for the long haul.
1
. Start spraying with the knob fully opened, but don’t screw it
entirely off the airbrush!
2
. Find the best trigger position for the best spray.
3
. Screw the knob clockwise until the trigger pull is limited to the
desired position.
Don’t forget! Unscrew the knob when you can’t figure out why
you don’t get as much spray as you used to.
Air Adjusting Set (#21)
For beginners
The air adjustment knob sets the amount of air flowing through
the airbrush. It’s a convenient way to adjust the pressure on the fly.
Start with the knob set at the full open position by twisting it
counterclockwise until it stops. After you’re familiar with the
airbrush, adjust the air pressure to achieve the best spray pattern as
necessary.
For the experienced
It’s a pressure regulator on the bottom of your spray gun. Enjoy.
