Replacing the Disposable Flux/Sodr Trap
As the Sodr-X-Tractor is used, solder and flux build-up will begin to impede the
airflow and decrease system performance. The SX-80 utilizes a disposable chamber
which makes maintenance of the SX-80 a quick and simple process. Regular
replacement of the Sodr-Flux Trap will keep the Sodr-X-Tractor operating at peak
performance. To replace the Sodr-Flux Trap follow the procedures outlined below.
1) While holding the Sodr-X-Tractor with the tip facing away from you and the
handpiece in an downward
position, remove the door
assembly from the handpiece.
This action is accomplished by
pulling the plunger lock
approximately ¼" and turning it
approximately ten (10) degrees to
the right or left. The door
assembly can now be removed by
simply gripping the door near the
ear shaped protrusions and lifting
straight up.
2) Replace the disposable chamber by holding the door assembly in the palm of
your hand with the filter assembly facing up. With your free hand use a fresh
solder chamber with the arrows facing away to push the spent chamber out of
the door assembly and into a waste receptacle. The fresh chamber is now in
position and ready for reassembly.
The handpiece will not function properly if the chamber is inserted incorrectly. The
directional arrows on the solder chamber must be pointed at the heater.
3) Complete the process by lowering the door into the handle assembly. Insure that
the door is properly situated with the ears seated in their respective detents.
Now return the plunger assembly to its locked position by simply twisting the
plunger lock mechanism so that it returns to the channels in the handle assembly.
4) Insure that the door assembly is securely in place by attempting to lift the door
from the handle assembly. It should now be held firmly in place.
5) Check all air hose fittings. Actuate the vacuum and insure that proper vacuum is
present at the tip.
6) Return the handpiece to the cubby or resume work as required.
