PREPARING TO USE THE SPRINT
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The machine is supplied in a single carton containing:-
Velopex SPRINT Processor; Operator's Manual; Water tank; Machine Accessory bag
containing: - Electric Lead; Transport Module Turning Tool; Cleaning Brush;
Chemical Change Chart and Warranty Card.
1.
Familiarise yourself with the layout of the machine by referring to illustrations at
the front of this manual.
2.
Remove the water tank and Film accessory bag that are stored inside the
daylight loader, (item 20). Entry into the Daylight Loader is made by vertically
lifting the daylight loader cover, (item 2).
3.
When the machine has been unpacked and is in position, the inner packaging
must be removed. The transport modules inside are protected by internal
packing pieces. Open the front cover (item 3) and discard the packaging along
with the separating sheet between the output rollers of both modules (items
17 and 18).
FILLING THE MACHINE WITH CHEMICALS
WARNING: Ensure the machine is disconnected
from the mains power supply when filling with
chemicals and water. NEVER turn on the machine
with the tanks empty. Hot parts are exposed when removing the tanks.
SWITCH OFF THE MAINS SUPPLY.
Do not use chemistry or film designed for manual processing.
Note:
Optimum processor performance will be achieved by using Velopex Fixer
and Developer. The machine is built, however, to work satisfactorily using most
high quality brands of chemical.
ONLY
use chemicals designed for automatic processing. Chemicals used for
MANUAL PROCESSING ("hand dunking") will produce poor results.
1.
The correct positions for the tanks are clearly marked.
2.
Each tank with its transport module in place should be withdrawn:
NOTE: This is done by sliding FORWARDS (towards the operator) until completely
clear of its rod heater element fixed to the machine internal back wall. The
Developer tank is removed first; the Fixer tank second. Do not lift either tank until it
is clear of the front of the machine.
3.
Tanks are now free to be taken to a clean working surface for filling.
4.
The transport modules should now be lifted from their respective tanks and the
separating sheets removed from between the output rollers.
5.
Start to fill each tank with the appropriate chemical, pouring in 1(one) litre fluid
at this stage. Pour in accordance with the marking on the tanks, i.e. Developer
always in the Developer tank and Fixer in the Fix tank.
6.
The rod heating elements fixed to the internal wall of the machine must be
lightly lubricated
only
with the silicone grease provided. (Replacement tube Pt.
