Lubricating the Needle (#9)
To ensure smooth main lever (#13) action lubricate the needle
when the trigger won’t respond properly.
1. Unscrew the handle (#11).
2. Loosen the needle chucking nut (#10).
3. Remove the needle.
4. Coat the needle slightly with Medea Super Lube starting
1 inch behind the tip.
5. Wipe the needle with a soft, clean cloth, leaving a light coat
of lube behind.
6. Re-insert the needle gently into the airbrush until you feel
a positive stop.
7. Tighten the needle chucking nut.
8. Screw the handle onto the airbrush body.
DO NOT over-lube the needle; transferring excess lube into
the nozzle may cause severe paint ow problems.
DO NOT use light machine oil or WD-40 for lubrication. These
lubes cause the needle to stick when it moves through the
needle packing o-ring and can also get into the air system.
CAUTION: If it becomes absolutely necessary to dismantle the
airbrush remember that most situations do not require tools.
DO NOT use pliers.
