Suggestions & Reminders
1. Always use an EFD piston to make your barrel loading, dispens-
ing and handling cleaner, safer and more accurate.
Caution: If you dispense watery-thin fluids and choose not to use
SmoothFlow
™
pistons – do not increase vacuum pressure rapidly
and do not tip the barrel. Vacuum may pull liquid into the air hose;
or when tipped, liquid may flow back into the dispenser.
2. Always use new barrels and tips. Carefully dispose of after use.
This procedure ensures maximum cleanliness, prevents con-
tamination and provides proper safety.
3. Do not completely fill the barrel. For most fluids, optimum fill is
a maximum 2/3 of the barrel capacity. For cyanoacrylates or
watery-thin fluids, optimum fill is 1/2 of the barrel capacity.
4. Use the EFD #DS1200 DispenStand
™
(supplied with model
2000XL-CA) to help organize bench space. Adapter hose
support keeps hose off of the work area. See illustration.
5. Depending on the type of work you are doing, it may be easier
to bring the work to the barrel. Mount the barrel on a stand such
as the EFD #7300A.
6. To ensure smooth fluid flow and to make consistent deposits,
always have the tip at about a 45° angle to the work surface.
