Compressor turns on and off while airbrush is not spraying air.  The compressor has an air leak somewhere.  When this happens, try the  

following steps:

1.  Spray all connections with Windex or soap and water solution. Resulting bubbles indicate an air leak.

2.  Tighten connections.

3.  If bubbling doesn’t stop, try wrapping threads with Teflon Tape (max 3 wraps only) or applying beeswax to the threads.  Both methods  

 

provide an airtight seal.

4.  If the air leak is in the middle of a hose the hose will need to be replaced.

For all other problems or issues call or contact Iwata-Medea at (503) 253-7308 or email us at:  info@iwata-medea.com.
