CAUTION
This procedure only applies to E-Multi units with toggle link carriage
adjustment as shown in Figure 9-2.
The nozzle protrusion must be properly adjusted to ensure that the nozzle
contacts the mold with the necessary force. An incorrectly adjusted nozzle
may leak or cause components in the carriage linkage to fail.
Some installations use spacer blocks to achieve correct nozzle protrusion.
On these systems, it will not be possible to set the correct protrusion
without these blocks.
CAUTION
It is also necessary to check the manifold inlet (sometimes also called the
sprue bushing or backplate) depth to verify that it is within the allowable limits
of the E-Multi injection unit. The nozzle protrusion range varies by model and
options. The correct protrusion range is specified on the installation drawing
and / or General Assembly drawing.
