both liquefiers.
b. If the filament does not extrude:

ii. If, after two tries the material fails to extrude, call
your service provider.
c. If the purge was successful, continue to run both
filament motors forward and slowly swivel the head
closed.
i. Once the head is closed, tighten both ¼ turn
screws.
ii. Verify material continues to extrude through both
tips for an additional 30 seconds, and then press
Stop to halt extrusion.
iii. Push Done. The panel displays Is material
loaded?
iv. Press Yes. The panel displays Exiting
maintenance and you can resume normal
operation.
IMPORTANT
While closing the head, be careful not to
crimp the filament, and make sure that the
head wiring doesn't get pinched between
the swivel head and the rear head housing.
