Cleaning the doser assembly
During regular use, powder collects around
and in the powder dosing assembly. This can
cause the doser gear to jam or slip, followed
by an error message on the touchscreen.
The powder doser assembly should be
cleaned after completing approximately
100 powder cartridge fillings, or if cartridge
filling is repeatedly interrupted by doser
jamming errors.
To clean the doser assembly:
1. Turn off the machine by flipping the breaker switch on the back of the unit to
OFF
. Unplug
the power cable from the Fuse Sift.
2. Disconnect the vacuum’s hose and power cable from the Fuse Sift, then plug the vacuum
directly into a mains power outlet.
3. Remove the nine cap screws holding the rear panel in place with a 2.5 mm Allen wrench
or hex driver. Set the rear panel aside.
4. Locate the doser assembly. When facing
the back of the Fuse Sift, the doser
assembly is located toward the left, below
the two powder hoppers.
5. Turn on the vacuum. Clean up any powder
that has settled on top of, next to, and
behind the doser assembly. Be very careful
not to damage or dislodge the doser motor
cable or doser encoder cable while cleaning. Use the vacuum’s brush attachment to clean
up the larger powder deposits. Use the vacuum’s crevice tool to access the gap between
the base of the doser assembly and the hoppers.
6. Turn off the vacuum and unplug it from the
mains power outlet.
7. Reinstall the Fuse Sift’s rear panel and
secure it with the nine cap screws.
8. Reconnect the vacuum hose and power
cable to their respective side ports on the
Fuse Sift, then set the vacuum’s breaker
switch to the
ON
position.
9. Connect the Fuse Sift to power. Turn on the
machine by flipping the breaker switch on
the back of the unit to
ON
.
