Flush the Fluid System
1.
Turn the fluid air OFF.
Note:
It is important to first turn off the air before cleaning the jet. If the feed tube
is dismounted under pressure, the fluid from the syringe will make a mess.
2.
Remove the receiver head.
3.
Remove the feed tube from the nozzle plate.
4.
Remove the syringe from the jet.
5.
Install an empty syringe with a feed tube onto the fluid barb of the nozzle plate.
6.
Fill the syringe with about 3 cc of mild solvent compatible with your fluid material.
7.
Replace the receiver head onto the syringe.
8.
Set up a test recipe using the following parameters:
10.0 msec Refill
10.0 msec Dwell
0.3 msec
250 Drops
9.
Turn the fluid air ON.
10.
Place a paper towel or aluminum-foil dish
under the nozzle.
11.
Run the test recipe, which flushes the jet.
Continue to run the recipe until the liquid coming out of the nozzle is clear and
clean, or all 3 cc of the solvent is flushed. It normally requires about 5 or 6 flushes
of 250 drops.
If there is too much solvent in the syringe, you can open the jet to let out the
remaining solvent.
Note
: It is easier to work with an empty syringe – let the remaining solvent
drain completely to manage the solvent in the cleanest way.
To avoid personal injury, move the nozzle
close to the paper so there is minimal
misting of the solvent during flushing. Be
sure there is proper ventilation and wear
appropriate eye and skin protection as
instructed by the solvent manufacturer.
