• Check that all RACKS and CROSSOVERS are seated correctly.
Check that the surfaces of all the ROLLERS are clean and smooth, especially in
the DEVELOPER TURNAROUND AY.
Check that the DRYER AIR TUBES are in the correct positions.
Remove any dirt from the DRYER ROLLERS and AIR TUBES, especially the
slots. Use a bottle brush and rinse with water.
Check that the replenishment settings are correct.
Adjust the DRYER temperature control setting to the lowest possible
temperature that still allows good drying.
Clean the FEED SHELF and DETECTOR ROLLERS
• Clean any biological growth in the WASH TANK with a mild solution of
chlorine bleach. Use 60 mL (2 fl oz) of bleach per 3.8 L (1 gallon) of water.
Wipe the TANKS with a soft sponge.
Check that the WEIRS are seated correctly. Check that the TANKS are full.

rotate correctly.
Check the tension on the RACK CHAIN. Check that the ROLLERS do not
hesitate and that the CHAIN moves smoothly.

solutions. Movement indicates recirculation.

FILTER.
