8. Maintenance
Make sure that the working cycle of the machine has ended before you start working on the machine.
Depending on the work to be performed, the power supply or the air supply can be disconnected.
The air cylinder and other parts of the machine are virtually maintenance-free.
However, the condition is that clean and dry air is used for the heat seal machine.
The applied water separator / pressure regulator is an extra safety.
Have your machine serviced by technically qualified personnel. Moisture and polluted air disturb the
sustainable lubrication of the air cylinder.
Teflon cover:
The Teflon film protecting the element must be cleaned regularly to prevent sticking of labels and patches
or the transfer of dirt to the garments. Clean the Teflon cover with a dry, clean cloth while the machine is
still warm. Repeat the process regularly as often as necessary. Damaged or soiled Teflon protection should
be replaced. These are available from your Thermopatch supplier.
Rubber cushion:
Clean the still warm rubber plate with a clean, lint-free cloth. Clean it as often as necessary.
Damaged or soiled rubber sheets must be replaced. These are available from your Thermopatch supplier.
Replacing the rubber cushion:
• Turn off the device and allow it to cool
• Make sure both the bottom metal plate and the rubber cushion are clean and free of grease
• Apply SPA-0892330 silicone adhesive (with a glue comb) to the metal plate and place the rubber
plate immediately with no air bubbles
• Allow to dry overnight at room temperature under light pressure without heating.
Air filter:
The air filter, or the water separator / pressure regulator, must be checked daily and, if necessary, emptied
by opening the cap on the underside of the filter.
Replace the fuses
Make sure that the machine is switched off and that the power cord is unplugged! Replace the T16 A fuses
at the back of the machine. Then plug in the power cord again and the machine is ready for use again.
ATTENTION!
Remove the plug from the wall socket BEFORE starting maintenance or repairs.
