Suggestions & Reminders - EFD 900 Operating Manual

Suggestions & Reminders
1. Always use an EFD piston to make your barrel loading, dispens-
ing and handling cleaner, safer and more accurate.
Caution: If you dispense watery-thin fluids and choose
™
SmoothFlow pistons – do not increase vacuum pressure rapidly
and do not tip the barrel. Vacuum may pull liquid into the air hose;
or when tipped, liquid may flow back into the dispenser.
2. Always use new barrels and tips. Carefully dispose of after use.
This procedure ensures maximum cleanliness, prevents con-
tamination and provides proper safety.
3. Do not completely fill the barrel. For most fluids, optimum fill is
a maximum 2/3 of the barrel capacity. For cyanoacrylates or
watery-thin fluids, optimum fill is 1/2 of the barrel capacity.
4. Use the EFD #DS1200 DispenStand
900-CA) to help organize bench space. Adapter hose support
keeps hose off of the work area. See illustration.
5. Depending on the type of work you are doing, it may be easier
to bring the work to the barrel. Mount the barrel on a stand such
as the EFD #7300A.
6. To ensure smooth fluid flow and to make
consistent deposits, always have the tip at
about a 45° angle to the work surface.
