1. Remove the lid of the reservoir by rotating it by hand
counter-clockwise. Place the strainer over the rim of
the reservoir and pour the new beads into the strainer
slowly, allowing time for the beads to pass through
(Figure 10). Always use the strainer when filling the jar
to eliminate clusters of beads, which will cause the
unit to malfunction.
Enclosed with your Xcavator
unit is a 5 Watt heater to help eliminate moisture
in your bucket of beads. Plug in the 5 Watt heater
and submerge it below the surface of the Xcavator
bead storage bucket to insure that beads will flow
through the strainer and transport reliably to the
nozzle.
Fill the jar with 50 –100 micron glass beads up
to the maximum fill line on the jar, then replace the jar lid
by screwing it clockwise, then snugging it firmly closed
by hand (Figures 11 and 12).
