III SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS A- General safety instructions Attention! Before installing the equipment, please read this instruction manual carefully. This will increase your personal safety and prevent unnecessary damage to the machine. The manufacturer accepts no liability if the instructions below are not followed: 1. If a machine has been damaged (during transport, for example), do not attempt to set it in operation. When in doubt, first contact either your supplier or the F&FM service department.
IV INSTALLATION A- Unpacking the dispenser The machine is packed in a box which will contain the following: 1 x Machine Base Assembly including turntable Canisters (as ordered), each with a lid, attached pump and fixing screws 1 x Operation Manual Power Supply cable. A plastic bag or box containing: 1 x Allen Key for Pump Calibration (Note: Pumps preset in factory) 1 x No.
IV INSTALLATION B- Installing the canisters Please note that this procedure is used for all canister sizes, although only 1.75L (22X) canisters are shown here. Other canister assemblies will vary in size and appearance, however the procedure remains the same. > (1) Select a canister assembly. > (2) Fit the canister screws into the outer ring of keyhole slots on the turntable. Push firmly into position.
IV INSTALLATION C- Ensuring the machine will automatically stir the colorant. The machine has a mechanical timer that will stir the colorant when turned from the 0 minutes indication on the dial and continue stirring until the timer expires. It is very important that the colorant is stirred to ensure continuous smooth operation of the machine. If left unstirred for extended periods, colorant can become thick and difficult to stir. This can ultimately damage the machine.
V OPERATION A- First time operation Step 1 Preparing the dispenser > Ensure that the machine is switched off at the wall socket Stir each can of colorant thoroughly with a flat bottomed paddle or palette knife to reincorporate any settled pigment Ensure that the machine is adequately supported and clear of obstructions > Remove the lids from all canisters Pour the contents of each colorant can into the correct canister.
V OPERATION Step 2 Purging the pumps > > Set the gauge or gauges of each pump to its halfway point by operating the spring loaded button then lifting the gauge by its handle Step 3 Without operating the valve lever lift the pump handle to its maximum travel (this draws the colorant into the canister) Discharge the colorant back into the canister by depressing the pump handle fully. Repeat this process 30 times.
V IV OPERATION OPERATION Step 4 Check the effectiveness of the purge > Open the valve lever without operating the pump. A small drop of colorant will appear at the nozzle > Release the valve lever slowly and the drop will withdraw into the nozzle Repeat this process 10 times.
V IV OPERATION OPERATION Step 3 Bring canister to the correct position > Depress and hold the detent lever to release the turntable. You can lock the detent lever in the release position by pushing it sideways. Rotate the turntable so that the pump of the appropriate canister is directly over the can. If the detent lever is released it will lock the canister into the correct position. You may need to move the turntable slightly from side to side to allow the locking pin to locate the locking hole.
V IV OPERATION OPERATION Step 5 Charge the pump > With the gauges correctly set, slowly and gently lift the red pump handle until both red and black handles are against the appropriate gauge knobs Continue to hold this for a few seconds to ensure the pump is correctly filled with colorant. If the colorant level is too low, air can be sucked into the pump.
VI PREVENTITIVE MAINTENANCE A- Do’s & Don’ts DO Keep the machine clean and display advertising promoting good housekeeping. DO Keep this operation manual, Allen key, valve sleeve wrench and spare parts in a convenient place to assist in regular maintenance DON’T Use the piston or valve assembly of each pump as a handle to rotate the turntable. Instead, use the canister or edge of the turntable.
VI PREVENTITIVE MAINTENANCE B- Daily maintenance Clean the machine, refill canisters and check for blockages > > Wipe down stand, canisters and pumps with a moistened cloth Check nozzle outlets for dried colorants. If dried colorant is found to be blocking the nozzle, open the valve to remove and replace the nozzle. Ensure the o-ring is retained. Clean the nozzle using warm soapy water Refit the nozzle and dispense a small amount of colorant FAST & FLUID MANAGEMENT CW - V1.
VI PREVENTITIVE MAINTENANCE If the dispenser is not used on a regular daily basis, the following procedure should be carried out. > Check the level of colorant and top up if required > Ensure that power is connected to the dispenser and turned on so that stirring occurs Open and close each pump valve 5 times > Purge the pumps (see chapter IV, step 2 & 3) however only operate the pump 5 times Check the valve levers and nozzle wiper arms for possible damage.
