5. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
NOTE: To achieve the best results when spraying it is always best to start with the air brush clean and totally
free from old paint deposits, dirt etc. Therefore the air brush should be thoroughly cleaned immediately
after each operation.
5.1.
Remove the empty gravity cup, wipe the inside thoroughly, including the lid.
5.2.
Fill the cup half full of thinners and re-attach to the air brush.
5.3.
Spray into a suitable container, this will clean the needle, fluid cap and air tip. Hold a soft cloth over the
fluid cap and spray again, this will force air and thinners through the air brush and clean the internal
moving parts. Should the air brush become clogged with paint, remove the needle, cap and tip as follows:
5.3.1. Squeeze the two halves of the housing (01) together to prevent the nozzle seat rotating.
5.3.2. Using the spanner provided unscrew the nozzle and remove the needle.
5.4.
Clean the needle, fluid cap and air tip with a small piece of cotton wool dipped in thinners.
5.5.
Re-assemble the air brush by reversing the above instruction.
