  • Page 4: Getting Started

    GETTING STARTED 1. Unpack the compressor and all packaged components. Enclosed you’ll find: a. Sprint Jet Compressor (#IS 800) b. Straight Airhose (#DT I 10) c. Adapter Kit (for other brands of airbrush) d. Sprint Jet Manual e. Sprint Jet Parts Diagram 2. Screw the straight air hose’s big end onto the moisture trap’s big screw. 3. Screw the straight air hose’s small end onto the airbrush a. Note: If you’re using a brand of airbrush other than Iwata, use the appropriate adapter from the adapter kit. You might have to try them out to see which one is right.
  • Page 5 GETTING STARTED (CONTINUED) 4. Plug the compressor into a grounded wall outlet. (Avoid using an extension cord.) 5. Turn the compressor ON by pressing down the switch on top of the unit. 6. As the unit is being used, water may collect in the moisture trap’s clear, plastic bowl. 7. Release the water by twisting the dial toward the “– “ sign while the unit is turned on. a. This will open the bleed valve and drain off the collected moisture. b. Do not let excess water build up in the moisture trap. c. Hold a paper towel under the open valve to collect the water. d. Once water is drained, close the bleed valve before using the compressor again.
  • Page 6 REGULATING THE PRESSURE 1. When you first hook up your airbrush to your compressor, turn it on and depress the trigger of your airbrush, the pressure that registers on your gauge is called your “working pressure. ” Your working pressure can vary depending on the size of your airbrush’s nozzle. The smaller the nozzle size, the higher your working pressure. An average nozzle size of 0.3mm will expend a working pressure of approximately 25-28 psi with the Sprint Jet. 2. You cannot increase your working pressure, but you can decrease your working pressure by using the air adjustment knob to open the bleed valve. 3. Adjust the air pressure by turning the air adjustment knob toward the + or – while spraying air from the airbrush. 4. When you want to go back to your “working pressure” be sure to close your bleed valve all the way (toward the “+”).

    Use your finger to pull the black tab out • Pull out the sponge-like air-filter • Replace with new air filter (Part # IS 030 – 10 pack) • Please inspect your air filter once per week with heavy compressor use. DO NOT use oil in/on the compressor. ENDING A SESSION 1. Release any built up moisture. 2. Turn off the compressor. 3. Release any leftover air. For any other problems or issues call or contact Iwata-Medea at 503-253-7308 or email us at: info@medea-artool.com.
  • Page 8 FEATURES Oil-Less Piston Compressor Oil-less means oil-less! The compressor uses PTFE gaskets to seal the compression chamber. This allows the compressor to be quiet without atomizing oil into the air stream, which makes the compressor virtually maintenance free. Air Pressure Adjustment Knob Though not a full regulator, the air pressure adjustment knob allows control of the air pressure. It also doubles as the moisture release valve. Moisture Trap Assembly The moisture trap filters out the water and debris down to 5 microns. Air Pressure Gauge Don’t guess what pressure you’re spraying at! Know it! Your “working pressure” (or “working psi”) is what the gauge shows while you have your trigger pressed down. Power Switch Yes, it’s a feature! You don’t have to unplug the compressor when you want it to stop, just flip the switch. Thermal Overload Switch If the compressor ever decides to overheat, the Thermal Overload Switch will turn off your compressor. If this switch cuts in it’s saving your compressor. Let it cool down. The switch will automatically reset itself. Voltage If you bought the compressor in the country you’re going to use it, it’s completely ready to go. If you’re going to transfer the compressor to another country with a different voltage, the unit won’t accommodate the new voltage by flipping a switch; you’ll need a plug adapter and the appropriate power converter. These items typically are found at hardware stores or electronic stores.
