Replacing the Purge Boot
1. If a dispensing program is running, click on Pause in the FmNT Run Window.
The dispensing system will complete the current workpiece and then pause.
2. With no dispense program running, open the dispensing system Hatch.
3. Remove the Purge Station Cover as shown in Diagram Sheet 3-2-1 on page 3-7.
WARNING! Follow all manufacturer MSDS, facility requirements, and local
ordinances concerning personal protective equipment and disposal of
hazardous materials.
4. Grip the top of the purge boot with needle-nosed pliers and pull it out from the
top of the cover. Discard the used purge boot.
Tearing the boot will not cause a problem because it is being replaced.
5. If the cover is dirty with dispensed fluid, clean it with the MSDS recommended
solvent and a soft cloth.
6. Obtain a new boot. See Table below for compatibility information.
If using a needle, the inside diameter of the purge boot should be compatible
with the outside diameter of the needle.
7. Insert the new boot, narrow end first, into the top of the cover.
8. Push the boot downward through the hole in the cover until it starts to emerge
from the bottom.
9. Grip the bottom of the boot with fingers or pliers and pull gently through the
hole until it is fully seated. Slight scoring on the bottom end of the boot is
acceptable, but the top of the boot must be undamaged.
10. Reinstall the cover onto the Purge Station.
11. Close the dispensing system Hatch.
12. If you paused a dispensing program to perform purge boot replacement, click
on Go in the FmNT Run Window to resume the program.
