REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Nozzle (#3)
In time, the nozzle may wear or be damaged and may need to be replaced.
1. Unscrew the handle (#17).
2. Loosen the needle chucking nut (#16).
3. Gently pull the needle (#4) part way back. It doesn’t need to be fully pulled out.
4. Unscrew the nozzle cap (#2)
5. Unscrew the nozzle counter-clockwise with the provided wrench.
6. Screw the new nozzle into the airbrush body with your fingers.
7. Slightly tighten the nozzle with wrench. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
8. Screw the nozzle cap onto the airbrush body.
9. Push the needle all the way forward until it seats with the new nozzle.
10. Tighten the needle chucking nut.
11. Screw the handle onto the airbrush body.
TIP: Keep a spare nozzle on hand for unforeseen accidents.
Needle (#4)
Iwata needles are precision ground, hardened stainless- steel capable of withstanding
prolonged use. They are, however, easily physically damaged because of the long, tapered,
extremely fine tip. If the needle point becomes severely bent, it must be straightened
before pulling it back through the nozzle. If not, the bent needle might damage the nozzle
as it’s pulled through.
TIP: Keep a spare needle on hand for unforeseen accidents.
• Needles are sharp.
• Needle tips are bent easily.
Crown Cap (Optional Accessory)
The crown cap physically protects the needle while spraying very fine lines. It also
adds to pigment build-up and spattering when spraying large backgrounds.
• Protects the needle
• Replaces the needle cap (#1)
• Adds to pigment build-up and spattering effects over large areas
Quick Disconnect (Optional Accessory)
A quick disconnect joint is screwed onto the airhose and a quick disconnect adapter is
screwed onto each airbrush. When using multiple airbrushes the quick disconnect joint
facilitates changing airbrushes on the same airhose quickly.
Pistol Grip Moisture Filter
The Iwata-Medea Pistol Grip Moisture Filter delivers clean, dry air to your airbrush.
Miniature in size, the super-fine, 5-micron filter element performs like a full-size
filter separator.
The clear filter bowl allows visual inspection of built up moisture. Release the water
by pulling the spring-loaded release valve.
