MAINTAINING THE WETTER SYSTEM
The wetter tank (see page 8 for location) supplies the fluid for wetting the envelope flaps and needs topping up from time to time. It is located on the right hand side of the machine and can be withdrawn by lifting the lower lip slightly and sliding the tank out to the extent shown below. Fill the tank until the level is just above the fin visible in the filling hole. Use only PFE Envelope Sealing Fluid A0276A, as this has been specially formulated for greatly enhanced sealing and antibacterial qualities.
Filling hole
When filling for the first time, or if the sponge has dried out, the wetter beam sponge should be removed and soaked in warm water. To remove the sponge, open the clam shell, raise the wetter beam (located above the tank) and take off the thumbscrew securing the sponge locating plate to the beam. Squeeze the sponge whilst soaking to ensure it is fully saturated. Ensure the wetter beam has been lowered after replacing.
If the machine is to be left unattended for more than a week, it is advisable to remove the tank and drain it.
