Maintaining the wetting system
The wetter tank supplies the fluid for wetting the envelope flaps and needs topping up from
time to time. It is located on the left hand side of the machine, below the closer area at the
output. To gain access, lower the side cover on the insert head. Fill the tank through the
spout until the level reaches the indicator visible inside - be careful not to overfill.
Note: Use only envelope Sealing fluid a0276a, as this has been specially formu-
lated for greatly enhanced sealing and antibacterial qualities.
Fill through the spout
as shown, up to the
level indicator.
Check the condition of the sponge at regular intervals and clean off gum residues as re-
quired. Remove the wetter tank to do this by lifting the end slightly using the green tab,
then withdraw it. Note: use a piece of absorbent material to under the drain tube to
catch any drips. Clean the sponge under running water and replace the tank, ensuring it is
fully located. After cleaning, or if the sponge has dried out, it should be primed by immers-
ing it in Envelope Sealing Fluid.
If the machine is to be left unattended for more than a week, it is advisable to remove the
tank and drain it. Wipe dry after washing to prevent contamination.
The tank must also be removed if the machine is moved, and the reservoir drained.
The reservoir can be drained by pulling out the plastic drain tube tucked underneath it and
pulling out the bung to drain into a suitable receptacle.
Withdraw the tank
by using the green
tab
