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

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.

3. Unscrew the uid adjustment knob (#22).
4. Remove the spring (#21).
5. Pull out the needle (#5).
6. Wipe down the needle.
