Trouble Shooting
1. Continuous spray when the main lever (trigger ) is not pulled back:
a. The needle is not seated properly in the nozzle. Reseat the needle by
unscrewing the Needle Chucking Knob to release the needle and gently
pushing on the back of the Needle Knob while retightening the Needle
Chucking Knob.
b. The Triple-Action Barrel is being used as a Pre-Set handle and not
allowing the nozzle to fully close. Turn the Triple-Action Barrel until
it is tight on the airbrush body.
c. The Needle Knob is not positioned correctly on the needle.
Repeat steps 3 - 8.
2. The Needle Knob does not spring back when loosing the Needle
Chucking Knob:
a. The needle spring is not on the Needle Knob Assembly.
b. Dried paint is causing too much friction inside the airbrush.
Use Iwata-Medea SUPERLUBE to lubricate the main lever (trigger) area.
3. The Needle Knob does not attach to the needle when tightening
the set screw:
a. The Triple-Action Barrel is not screwed all the way onto the airbrush
body before attaching the Needle Knob. Repeat Steps 3 - 8.
b. The Needle Knob’s set screw is too tight before positioning it onto the
needle. Loosen the set screw and repeat step 3 – 8.
c. The nozzle is damaged allowing the needle to move too far forward in
the airbrush. Inspect nozzle and replace if necessary.
9. Firmly tighten the set screw by
turning the Allen wrench. Take
care not to bend the needle
inside. The Needle Knob is now
attached to the needle in the
correct position.

attached needle out the back
of the airbrush. (image 9)
11. With the Needle Knob
assembly removed from the
airbrush, slide the Needle
Chucking Knob into the back
of the handle and screw it onto
the needle chucking guide
inside the handle. Screw it on
until there is a small amount of
resistance, but not all the way
down to the handle. Then
unscrew one full turn to unlock.

the main lever area to make sure
it is assembled correctly.
