CARE & CLEANING
General Guidelines
Don’t drop gauges down into end cap. Lower gauges manually back into end cap to prevent
damage.
Keep the machine clean and practice good housekeeping to promote dispensing accuracy.
Do not use the pump as a handle while rotating the turntable. Grab the edge of the turntable to
rotate.
Keep a copy of this manual and the reusable piston seal tool in a convenient place to assist in
regular maintenance.
Do not use metal or other hard objects to clear blocked nozzles as it may result in damage to the
valve.
Keep nozzles clean to prevent blockage from drying colorant. Nozzles are easily removed for
cleaning.
Daily Maintenance
Keeping the nozzle wiper pad, clean and free of dried, dripping or collecting colorant is essential for
trouble-free dispensing. It is recommended that the nozzle wiper arm and pad be cleaned daily with a cloth
dampened with water or mineral spirits.
NOTE: Do not use harsh solvents such as lacquer thinner or MEK as damage may result.
Periodic Maintenance
If the dispenser is not being used on a regular basis, the following should be completed daily:
1. Ensure the canisters are topped up with colorant.
2. Open and close each valve five times.
3. Set gauge to the maximum position and stroke the plunger handle up and down three times.
4. Check valve handles, nozzles, seal arms and pads wear or damage and clean thoroughly.
5. Dispense a small amount of colorant into a clean container and return to canister. To prevent
hardening of colorant in the nozzle and valve, it is essential to have regular colorant movement.
