[6] Pour more developer solution into the DEVELOPER TANK until the level of the solution reaches the top of
the STEP in the DEVELOPER TANK.
[7] Remove the SPLASH GUARD. Rinse and store it near the PROCESSOR.
Caution
Wet ENTRANCE ROLLERS of the DEVELOPER and FIXER RACKS can cause artifacts.
[8] Very carefully, install the DEVELOPER RACK into the DEVELOPER TANK. You can identify the
DEVELOPER RACK by the red WIRE TIE.
• Be careful not to splash any developer solution into the FIXER TANK.
– Small amounts of developer solution in the FIXER TANK will not seriously contaminate the fixer
solution, but will degrade it.
• Check that the DEVELOPER RACK is seated firmly in the DEVELOPER TANK.
[9] Check that the DRIVE GEARS on the DEVELOPER and FIXER RACKS correctly engage the GEARS on the
MAIN DRIVE SHAFT.
[10] Check that the level of the solution in the DEVELOPER TANK is at the top of the OVERFLOW WEIR.
If necessary, add more solution. See Figure 61 on Page 70.
[11] Install the developer EVAPORATION COVER between the DEVELOPER RACK and the FIXER RACK.
Position the EVAPORATION COVER on the TIE RODS of the 2 RACKS as shown.
