Preventive Care
(continued)
Cleaning schedule for various materials:
• Typical: every month
• Dusty: after every shift
• High ink or varnish: 1 time per shift
Cleaning Gate Assembly
Use only isopropyl alcohol (98% concentration). Do not use any
other types of solvents. They can cause premature wear of the
belts, or even total breakdown of the material.
To clean gate assemblies:
1. Turn Off feeder and remove power cord from outlet.
2. Remove gate assembly from gate bracket assembly.
3. Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a soft cloth.
4. Wipe across O-rings, or angled wedge if applicable. First wipe
in one direction, then the other.
5. Taking a dry portion of the cloth, go back and wipe all sur -
faces to ensure they are dried.
6. Reinstall gate assembly and restore power. It may be neces-
sary to recheck alignment of feeder with host machine if
feeder was moved from original installation position (for a
review, refer back to Section 2, “Installing the Machine”).
Depending on the application, it may be
necessary to move the feeder from original
installation so as to access gate assembly.
