Remove resin dust from the upper part of the mounting
cylinder.
Clean the cylindrical surface of the upper ram. Cured resin
can easily be removed without damage to the surface of the
ram using the scraper supplied.
Apply “Mould Release Agent” to all accessible surfaces of the
upper ram.
Place the top closure with the upper ram on the mounting
cylinder.
Press the top closure straight down, turning it counter-
clockwise until you hear a click.
Press the top closure down and turn it clockwise until its
lower limit.
Turn the top closure a quarter of a turn back.
Installing the Top Closure
Important
If the ram does not fit in the cylinder then check ram and cylinder for cured
resin. The tolerance between the cylinder and the ram is very fine and even
small amounts of resin from previous mounting may cause problems.
