 Sections in the middle and sides of  

the material being coated seem to be  
rubbed off in spots. The coating can be  
seen going on as a wet film but does not  
come out that way when coming out of the heater.  

 It is possible the heater box support tabs  

have been damaged.  Replace or repair box supports  
before using machine again.   

 The heater box heat trap flap may be bent  

or damaged. Replace or repair part as necessary 
 before using machine again.  

 The material being coated seems to coat with a   

jerky motion somewhat resembles  
a chattering motion.  

 Reduce some of the clutch friction to the core rod 

 where the material is being pulled from.   
(Core rod on same side as main control console).   

Apply some graphite powder to the clutches where the core 

Contacts the clutch assembly.  

 Fluid flow from the main dispensing valve has  

Started coming out slower. The fluid doesn't seem to
Keep the laminating area supplied.  

 One of the fluid connectors is blocked. Remove connector  

And force water the opposite way through the connector or  
replace connector. 

 Fluid valve is blocked and needs to be cleaned. 

 Fluid reservoir bottle needs to be refilled. Not enough 

Head pressure. 

 Fluid Reservoir bottle is full but liquid is barely  

dispensing out of fluid valve or has dropped out  
completely.   

 Fluid reservoir needs to thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed to  

remove dried laminate from the walls of the jug. 

 Flush Fluid connectors in the opposite of flow direction to  

remove dried laminate chunks. 

 Machine heater temperature cannot be controlled 

or adjusted. 

 Solid State Heater relay has gone bad and needs to be 

Replaced. Contact Clearstar.  

 Liquid seems to run mostly to one side of the  

coating rod and barely saturates the other side.  

 Machine needs to be leveled properly. 

 Metering rod is not rotating properly. 

 Rod is not seated correctly in the holding cradle. 

 Rod is not tightened down sufficiently to allow proper  

friction between media and rod.  

 Heater is not getting hot enough when turned up. 

 Insure that the machine is getting the required voltage and  

amperage. 

 Machine is coating but motion is jerky or  

Chattering.  

 Too much tension is on the clutches holding the feed core. 

 A small amount of graphite powder lubricant needs to be used

On the clutches where the discs rub against each other and  
Where the core goes onto the clutches.
