4. Setup Instructions
The Wiltec Airbrush Extraction System is designed for quick and easy assembly.
- Unfold the Main Unit: Carefully unfold the side panels of the extraction system until they lock into place, forming the booth structure. The foldable design allows for compact storage and quick deployment.
- Install the Filter: Ensure the blue filter is correctly positioned in the designated slot at the back of the booth. This filter is crucial for capturing paint particles and fumes.
- Attach the Exhaust Hose: Connect the flexible exhaust hose to the outlet port on the back of the main unit. Extend the hose and position the flat nozzle outside a window or into a suitable ventilation system to direct fumes away from your workspace. The hose length is adjustable from 0.7 m to 1.7 m.
- Place the Turntable: Position the included turntable inside the booth. This allows for easy rotation of your workpiece during painting.
- Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the unit and then into a suitable electrical outlet.

To clean, gently tap out loose particles or rinse with water if the filter material allows (ensure it's completely dry before re-installation). Replace the filter when it becomes heavily clogged or damaged.
- General Cleaning: Wipe down the interior and exterior surfaces of the booth with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic.
- Storage: When not in use, the unit can be folded for compact storage. Ensure it is clean and dry before storing.
