Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Master Airbrush Cool Runner II Kit:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from their packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Position Compressor: Place the compressor on a stable, level surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Attach Airbrush Holder: Secure the dual airbrush holder to the compressor as shown in the product images.
4. Connect Air Hose: Connect one end of the 6-foot braided nylon air hose to the air outlet on the compressor's pressure regulator. Connect the other end to your chosen airbrush. Ensure connections are secure to prevent air leaks.
5. Power Connection: Plug the compressor's power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (120 Volts).
6. Prepare Airbrush: Fill the airbrush's fluid cup or siphon bottle with your desired airbrush-ready paint. If using concentrated paint, dilute it with the included reducer to achieve the correct consistency.

Operating Instructions

Once your kit is set up, follow these guidelines for effective airbrushing:

1. Turn On Compressor: Flip the power switch on the compressor to the 'ON' position. The compressor will build pressure and then automatically shut off when it reaches 57 PSI. It will cycle on and off to maintain pressure during use.
2. Adjust Air Pressure: Use the pressure regulator knob to set the desired air pressure for your project. Start with a lower PSI and gradually increase as needed.
3. Test Spray: Before applying to your final surface, perform a test spray on a scrap piece of material to check paint consistency and spray pattern.
4. Airbrush Control: For dual-action airbrushes (G22, S68), press down on the trigger for air, then pull back for paint. For single-action (E91), air and paint flow simultaneously when the trigger is pressed.
5. Maintain Distance: Hold the airbrush approximately 2-6 inches from your surface, adjusting based on the desired line thickness and coverage.
6. Consistent Movement: Move your hand in smooth, even strokes to ensure uniform paint application.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your airbrush kit.

1. Immediate Cleaning: Clean your airbrush immediately after each use, especially when changing colors or finishing a session.
2. Flush with Cleaner: Empty any remaining paint from the fluid cup/bottle. Fill with airbrush cleaner (or appropriate solvent for your paint type) and spray through until the spray runs clear.
3. Disassemble Airbrush: Carefully disassemble the airbrush according to its specific model instructions. Pay attention to the nozzle, needle, and fluid tip.
4. Clean Components: Use the provided cleaning brushes and airbrush cleaner to thoroughly clean all paint-contacting parts. Ensure no paint residue remains.
5. Reassemble: Reassemble the airbrush carefully, ensuring all parts are correctly aligned and tightened.
6. Compressor Maintenance: Periodically drain any accumulated moisture from the water trap filter on the compressor.

Tip: A spray pot or cleaning pot (not included in this standard kit) can be very helpful for cleaning airbrushes effectively by containing overspray and fumes.
