5.1 Maintenance intervals
5.2 Cleaning
Never use strong detergents or ones containing solvents. They may damage components of the applicator. We advise, to use petro-
leum for the cleaning of the housing. Parts which can no longer be cleaned, particularly on account of hot melt adhesive which has
burned or hardened, must be completely changed or the applicator must be returned to the manufacturers or dealer for cleaning.
Remove any residual hot melt adhesive and other dirt mechanically, e.g. with a rag, soft brush, wood spatula or the like.
5.2.1 Cleaning the nozzle
In the case of minor external soiling wipe the nozzle with a rag.
In the event of clogging insert a drill bit, needle or piece of wire into the nozzle hole.
In cases of stubborn dirt change the nozzle (see Section 5.3.1 and 5.3.4).
5.3 Nozzle systems

Tools required:
2 size 19 open-ended spanner,
1 spring-ring pliers
Remove the cartridge.
Remove the circlip (A1).
Remove the nozzle kit (part A2 to A7) out of the applicator.
Prevent the nozzle foot (A3) from moving and unscrew the conical nozzle (A2).
Screw the new nozzle (A2) on hand-tight and allow the nozzle to heat up for 2 minutes after mounting the applicator vice versa.
Keep the nozzle foot (A3) from moving and tighten the nozzle (A2) until snug. Do not overtighten!

semble as above but in reverse order.
