Loading The Barrel Reservoirs - EFD 900 Operating Manual

Loading the Barrel Reservoirs

Caution: Do not completely fill barrels. The optimum fill is a max-
imum 2/3 of the barrel capacity and 1/2 of the barrel capacity when
using the LV Barrier
If the fluid you are dispensing is pourable, take the barrel, twist on
a tip cap and pour your fluid in. If appropriate, insert the SmoothFlow
piston (see page 13). Carefully press the piston down until it
contacts the fluid. The barrel is now ready for use.
If you are dispensing solvents, cyanoacrylates or anaerobics, use
™
the LV Barrier . Place barrier in the top of the barrel reservoir. Allow
air between barrier and fluid. Do not contact the barrier to the fluid.
If your fluid is thick or non-leveling, you can spoon it into the barrel
with a spatula Or, if the fluid comes packed in a 1/10 gallon
cartridge, try loading the barrel with a caulking gun. Then press in
the SmoothFlow
and to remove trapped air.
