3.
Remove the safety cap (Fig.1 # 2).
4.
By means of a funnel, poor slowly the electrolyte previously prepared thought the filling
neck (Fig.1 # 3) and into the tank (Fig.5 # 46). The “MAX” yellow light (Fig.1 # 5) will go
out. If the “MAX” red light (Fig.1 # 6) does not shine after all the electrolyte has been
poured into the tank, add distilled or demineralized water until the light is illuminated.
DANGER
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT NO WATER IS POURED WHEN THE RED LIGHT IS ON.
1) Put the safety cap back into place (Fig.1 # 2) and tighten it. Do not over tighten.
2)
Slide the switch (Fig.1 # 1) to the “O” off position.
4.4 BOOSTER TANK FILLING
1) Loosen the handle knob (Fig.1 # 8) and remove the Booster Tank (Fig.1 # 7).
2)
Pour the deoxidizer liquid (see sec. 4.5) into the Booster Tank until it reaches the “MAX”
marked on the outside. Do not pour liquid beyond this level.
3) The eventual electrostatic charge of your body may cause
a spark and flame up the liquid
deoxidizer;
this is to be avoided, if before approaching the Booster Tank while on its seat,
you touch, for a moment with the other hand, the Booster Tank holder (Fig.1 # 9). Repeat this
operation each time you perform the Booster Tank filling deoxidizer.
4) Place the Booster Tank back into place (Fig.1 # 7) and tighten the handle knob (Fig.1 # 8),
just enough. Do not over-tighten.
4.5 PREPARING FLUX (DEOXIDIZER) LIQUID.
DANGER
METHYL ALCOHOL IS BOTH FLAMMABLE AND TOXIC. HANDLING MUST TAKE PLACE AWAY
FROM FLAMES, SPARKS AND HEAT SOURCES. IN GENERAL AVOID CONTACT WITH THE
MOUTH AND AVOID INHALING ITS VAPORS.
By dissolving boric acid with methyl alcohol (as explained hereunder) you will obtain a green flame
with high deoxidizing power, that is indispensable for braze welding operations, since it ensures
optimal flow and penetration of the solder. In the thermic treatments, methyl alcohol is normally used
in the pure state.
1) Pour the desired quantity of methyl alcohol into a plastic container provided with hermetic seal
cap.
2) Add the boric acid in the form of flakes in a proportion of 15- 20 gr. (as a maximum) per each
liter of methyl alcohol.
