9.22 Feed Assembly Removal and Replacement
It is recommended that the barrel be purged before the assembly is changed.
See “Purge Plastic from System” on page 9-8.
If the barrel cannot be purged and the machine is oriented vertically, it is
recommended that a container be placed underneath the feed tube to feed
block connection to catch the remaining pellets from the feed tube.
If the machine is oriented horizontally, it is recommended that pellets be
removed using a vacuum cleaner to prevent pellets from spilling onto the
machine.
