Preparing the JetStream for More than 3 Months Idle
If the JetStream will be idle for 3 months or more, or if it is going to be shipped, a thorough
shutdown procedure must be followed to flush the hydraulic system and ensure that the
JetStream does not become clogged with dried ink during the dormant period. Flushing cleans
the Mixing Tank, pumps, tubes, and Gun Body.
CAUTION – PROPERTY DAMAGE: The long-term shutdown procedure should be
performed by trained and qualified personnel. If in doubt, contact your certified
Squid Ink distributor.
Items needed to prepare the JetStream for more than 3 months idle are:
• Paper towels
• 5-gallon hazardous liquids container
• Full Makeup Container
• Storage Plugs that were removed during commissioning process
To prepare the JetStream for more than 3 months idle:
1. Stop jetting and drain the Mixing Tank:
a. Follow the steps to drain the printer (See “Drain Printer” on page 118)
2. Prepare to clean the JetStream’s hydraulic system:
a. Open the Front Door of the JetStream by turning the knob and pulling the door open.
b. Remove the Ink Container from the Ink Bay (left) by gently pulling the Ink Container
directly outward.
c. Install a full Makeup Container in the Ink Bay by sliding the new Makeup Container
forward into the Ink Bay. There should now be one Makeup Container in each bay.
