Setting the Fill Height
Set the level to which the cartridge will be filled (i.e., the point where the valve shuts off the flow of material
into your cartridge) using the following instructions:
1.
Loosen the Level Adjustment Locking Screw by turning it counter-clockwise (Figure 13).
2.
Slide the Level Adjustment Screw to the halfway point in the slot. When it slides in, tighten the Locking
Screw by rotating it clockwise (Figure 13).
3.
Grasp the Follower Plate (Figure 1) and slowly move the plate up and down. If you listen very carefully you
will hear a gentle click sound as it passes the position where the dispense valve will stop the flow of
material.
4.
Place the Cartridge onto the Nozzle and let its bottom rest on the Follower Plate (Figure 14).
5.
Move the Follower Plate (with the Cartridge resting on it) up the Nozzle until the bottom of the Nozzle is
at the level that you want the fluid height within the Cartridge. Keep the Cartridge and Follower Plate in
this position while you loosen the Level Adjustment Screw. Slide the Level Adjustment Screw up and down
while listening for the clicking sound that you observed earlier. When this sound is heard, tighten the
screw to maintain its position. Move the Cartridge up and down the Nozzle by moving the Follower Plate
up and down. Make sure that the cartridge is resting on the Follower Plate and confirm that the clicking
sound is occurring at the proper position.
6.
Bring the Follower Plate and Nozzle back down to the bottom position and remove the Cartridge.
Note: The initial adjustment is just an approximation and must be refined by making small adjustments to
the Level Adjustment after observing the actual fill levels once you begin automatically filling the
Cartridges.
