- Turn the unit outwards as shown in figure 8.3.1.2/C,
since the extruder mount (19) is hinged to the center of
the base.
The extruder head can now be opened to gain access
to the filter and remove the auger. This operation is to be
performed when the extruder has reached its operating
temperature. When it is cold, it is impossible to remove
the parts because of the hardened plastic.
Proceed as follows:
- Shut off the electricity supply and remove the cables
from the terminal block (9). These cables are for the
electric heating elements in the extruder head (10).
- Remove the screws (11 & 12) so that the cylinder (13)
can be taken out.
- Remove the nuts (14) which hold the extruder head in
place.
- Remove the head (10) by prying it out with two
screwdrivers.
- The filter (16) can now be removed.
