117/182

CAUTION: If the "drain/rinse" function has not been performed, the accumulator

may contain ink under pressure. Take particular precautions
when draining it.
Connect the printer to the electrical supply, hold the hydraulic
half-connector on the ink circuit IC60 side in an appropriate
receptacle (500 cm

3

, half-closed) and manually open solenoid

valve "U11, Accu. pressure".
(Test solenoid valves function).
Wait until the pressure in the accumulator is released, close
U11 then disconnect the printer from the electrical supply

□

Open the left side door. Disconnect the motor control connector from the CPU board

and move the wires clear.

□

Loosen but do not remove the two screws holding the ink circuit IC60

□

Via the hydraulic compartment, lift the ink circuit IC60 to release the two screws and

the two bottom mounts.

□

Remove the ink circuit IC60 from its place and hang it at the place of the cartridge

support plate (2 holes provided).

□

Disconnect the ribbon cable from the CPU board (below the ink circuit IC60) while

holding the module, then disconnect the condenser venting hose. Take out the IC60.
