Subject:
Start-up process following a prolonged idle period
This is a guide to help prepare the Tintmaster Dispensers (TM280 / TM300) to normal operation after a
prolonged period of non-use.
Before trying to dispense colorant, please follow the steps below:
Tools
• Paper towel / cloth / wet wipes for cleaning and/or to remove dried colorants
• 10 mm socket (to remove the side panels)
• Anti mould spray if appropriate
• Gloves and/or any other personal protective equipment recommended by site, employer, etc.
Procedure
1. Press E-Stop button on the dispenser
2. Check if the brush is clean, and that there is correct amount of cleaning liquid (water / solvent) in the
brush container
3. Open the canister lid one by one and check the colorant condition. If colorant is hardened, thickened
or mould has grown, take appropriate actions. You may need to contact the colorant supplier / paint
supplier for further instructions
4. Take off the side covers of the machine, and
a. Visually check the valve wiper and nozzle one by one.
i. Check to ensure the valve is returning to cover the nozzle. If not, the valve spring
and/or wiper pad may be damaged. Replace them or you may need to consult with
your service supplier
ii. Check to ensure that the valve wipers are clean. Remove any dried colorants
b. Clean the nozzles manually if you suspect colorant may have dried. Take off the nozzle one

the o-ring back into the nozzle. If o-rings are broken or damaged, you need to replace with
new ones.

pump disks are raised up, if so, then push them down to the correct height.
d. NOTE: You may need to close the covers, switch on the machine, turn the turn table to the
different position to be able to access all pumps. For safety, close the side covers every time
before switching on the machine
e. Close the side covers before you proceed to the next step

    Why are colors difficult to reproduce with my Fast & Fluid Management TM280?
    • Y
      ywheelerAug 22, 2025
      If the colours are difficult to reproduce with your Fast & Fluid Management Dispenser, the mechanisms might be dirty, so clean and oil them. It could also be due to quality fluctuations in the paste supplied, in which case you should contact your paste supplier. Thickened pastes can also cause this issue, so replace any thickened paste(s). Finally, the turntable might be in the wrong position; reset it by pressing and unlocking the emergency stop button. Leaks around the pistons can also cause this problem. In this case, the pistons should be replaced “Service”.
