Recommended Preventative Maintenance
Clean Brushes and Tank - Weekly
Clean the brushes on a weekly basis or when glue build up effects proper moistening of
the tape. The glue can prevent sufficient and even water flow to the tape causing poor
moistening of the tape. Regular cleaning will extend the life of the brushes and insure that
glue build up will not cause tape jams or poor tape moistening.
Procedure:
1.
Unplug power from the machine!
Remove the water bottle and water tank.
Twist the tank up over the lip on the tank shelf that prevents it from sliding out of the
machine.
Caution: Heater may stay hot for a period after machine is off.
Remove the brushes from the tank to remove any dried adhesive. You will need to tilt
the brushes to clear the retaining bracket. Notice how the brushes are positioned in
the tank because the must be replace correctly.
2. Wash the brushes and tank with warm water and soap.
3. Place the brushes back into the water tank. It is extremely important that they are
positioned correctly. Brushes must be sloped toward the front of the dispenser in
order to work properly. The top of the brushes are cut at an angle. Shorter brushes
go in the back. The longer length bristles must be toward the front of the machine
(tank).
Notice: Installing the brushes backwards will cause excessive tape jams.
Never cut the brush tips to remove glue as they are cut at a specific angled
and flagged to facilitate proper moistening and cutting will most likely cause
tape jams.
