Preventive Care
(continued)
Cleaning schedule for various materials:
• Typical: every month
• Dusty: after every shift
• High ink or varnish: 1 time per shift
Cleaning Gate Assembly
Use only isopropyl alcohol (98% concentration). Do not use any
other types of solvents. They can cause premature wear of the
belts, or even total breakdown of the material.
To clean gate assemblies:
1. Turn Off feeder and remove power cord from outlet.
2. Open discharge safety shield to access gate.
3. Remove gate assembly from gate bracket assembly.
4. Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a soft cloth.
5. Wipe across O-rings, or angled wedge if applicable. First
wipe in one direction, then the other.
6. Taking a dry portion of the cloth, go back and wipe all sur -
faces to ensure they are dried.
7. Reinstall gate assembly, close discharge safety shield, and
restore power.
It may be necessary to recheck alignment of
feeder with host machine if feeder was moved from original
installation position (for a review, refer back to Section 2,
Installing the Machine).
