MACHINE MAINTENANCE
Some steps are needed in order to clean and maintain the product for maximum usage. The recommended procedure is as follows:
- It is recommended to operate equipment at least once a month to keep its best performance and status.
- Maintenance and insurance for firing head: The nozzle should be removed for cleaning up internal impurities. It is recommended to do so once every six months (depending on the use environment and frequency), If it is found that the machine is seriously deformed or the oil shooting line is significantly deformed or thickened, the firing head should be removed immediately for cleaning.
- Maintenance of the 0-ring: If it is found that the 0-ring of the nozzle is damaged or aging when cleaning the nozzle, the 0-ring should be replaced in time (material and size of 0-ring: Fluoridated rubber 0-ring, the outermost diameter is 14 mm, and the line diameter is 2 mm).
- In order to lubricate the pipeline and pump it is highly recommended to add 10-20m1 castor oil per 10L canister.
- The software can be upgraded with a download cable from SPARK FABRICA.
