NEED ASSISTANCE
Congratulations on your purchase of an Iwata Eclipse™ G-Series, a versatile, reliable and high-performance airbrush-gun. The
Iwata Eclipse G-Series Airbrush-Guns are a breakthrough in large-format airbrushes. The ability to control detailed spray and finely
atomize large swathes of paint highlight the airbrush’s unique spray characteristics. It can also adjust spray pattern shapes from round
circles to flattened ovals and everything in between. A stainless steel nozzle, paint passage and heat-tempered needle reflect Iwata’s
unceasing commitment to long-lasting, peak-performance spray equipment.
The G-Series Airbrush-Guns use reliable, easily serviceable air-valve and air-valve packing cartridge sets. Should the need arise, cartridge
sets can be serviced outside the airbrush and can be easily replaced.
Designed for use with the Iwata Studio Series Power Jet, Power Jet Lite or Power Jet Pro compressors, these low air consumption
airbrush-guns provide high atomization while minimizing overspray.
Ideal uses for the G-Series include automotive touch-up, custom automotive painting, motorcycle painting, illustration, background
spraying, large studio work, murals and airbrush tanning.

Iwata airbrushes are designed for the demanding professional. Modern precision machining and high quality materials
are used in the manufacturing process to ensure consistent high performance and long life. Each Iwata airbrush is spray-
tested before shipment to assure maximum performance and adherence to Iwata’s strict quality standards. To maintain
your Eclipse G-Series at its peak performance, proper care and attention must be observed.
ONLY FROM IWATA-MEDEA
IWATA ECLIPSE G-SERIES AIRBRUSH-GUNS
These multi-purpose, high paint flow, Eclipse G-Series Airbrush-Guns cover a wide range of uses. Commonly
used to spray pre-mixed or heavier paints, they are well suited for uses that demand precise control of spray
when applying moderate-to-large amounts of paint to a variety of surfaces and to various-sized areas. These
Eclipse Series Airbrush-Guns have established a benchmark for excellence in an all-purpose airbrush.
A unique “Pistol Grip” airbrush, the Eclipse G-Series Airbrush-Guns look like a miniature spray gun, but spray
and perform like a large airbrush with its 0.3-mm to 0.6-mm stainless-steel nozzles.
· Equipped with a long tapered needle that ensures a smooth, wide background spray
· Utilizes a dual-purpose air cap and a fan adjustment valve that lets the airbrush spray a round or oval pattern
· The round pattern is useful for painting graphics, while the oval shape creates a smooth background spray
· Works well with the Iwata Studio Series Power Jet, Power Jet Pro and Power Jet Lite Compressors
NOTE: With the Eclipse G6, only round pattern can be achieved using these air sources.

GETTING STARTED
Pre-Check the Airbrush Settings
1. Close the pattern adjustment knob (#14) fully by gently twisting
it clockwise until it stops. It doesn’t need to be tight.

the little nger-like projections until they are horizontal to the
ground. Then tighten air cap cover ring (#3).
Assembly

NOTE: In many cases the air source is a compressor.
2. Screw the air hose rmly onto the G-Series’ air inlet beneath
the handle.

properly prepared paint.
2. Screw the lid (bottle cap set) onto the bottle.
3. Push the metal nipple of the bottle rmly onto the bottle joint
adaptor (#6). NOTE: Push the bottle rmly into the bottle joint
adaptor ensuring a tight t.
4. Adjust the air source pressure to 35 psi and spray away.

General Spraying
1. Pull the trigger back slightly and only the air will come out.
2. Pull the trigger back more until paint starts to spray in small
amounts.
3. Pulling the trigger back further releases even more paint until
the trigger is pulled as far as it can go.

GENERAL OPERATION
Fine-Line Spray
1. Pull the trigger back slightly to start the air.
2. Position the airbrush close to the surface. About 1 inch
or 2.5 cm.
3. Pull the trigger back a little more to start the ow of paint.
Control line thickness by adjusting the distance between the
airbrush and the surface, and also by adjusting the paint ow
amount.
Background Spraying
1. Position the airbrush further from the surface – 4-6 inches or
10-16 cm is common.
2. Pull the trigger back a lot to release a large amount of paint.
Control spray width by adjusting the distance between the
airbrush and the surface and by opening the pattern adjustment
knob (#14). Opening the pattern adjustment knob changes the
spray pattern shape from a circle to an oval.
Control spray consistency over large areas by setting
the uid adjustment knob (#22) to limit the amount of paint
volume sprayed.
1. Pull the trigger back to the desired amount of spray.
2. Screw the uid-adjustment knob in until it pushes the trigger.
Cleaning

cleaning solution (when using the G-6). Rinse out gravity cup
(when using G-3 and G-5) and ll with cleaning solution.
2. Spray until the solution sprays clear and clean.
3. Remove the bottle of cleaning solution (when using the G-6).
Dump out remaining solution from gravity cup (when using G-3
and G-5).
4. Spray air until the airbrush sprays dry.
5. Fit a color bottle with the new color and spray or add new color
to gravity cup.
6. Repeat the procedure when nished.

Before Each Session
Spray water, or appropriate solvent, through the airbrush to ensure
the airbrush is in proper working order.
After Each Session
Or any time the airbrush becomes clogged:
1. Increase the air pressure.
2. Spray cleaning solution through the airbrush for a short time.
3. Unscrew the uid adjustment knob (#22).
4. Remove the spring (#21).
5. Pull out the needle (#5).
6. Wipe down the needle.

sharp. Be careful not to bend the tip of the needle or hurt
yourself while reinserting it.
8. Place the spring on the needle.
9. Screw the uid adjustment knob onto the airbrush.
The higher air pressure will help to thoroughly clean out the paint.
