QUICK GUIDE
At the beginning of the working day
• Check that the nozzle center is clean.
• Check that the sponge is clean and saturated; if it is necessary to saturate, use only appropriate liquid (the

• Close the canisters with their lids immediately after lling operations.
• Remember to update accordingly the canisters lling levels via the management software.
• The sponge must be saturated at least twice a week (the frequency of intervention is indicative, since it
depends on the nature of colorants and the environment conditions).
At the end of the working day
• Rell the canisters.
• Update the canister lling levels in the management software.

• Only qualied and appropriately trained personnel (MAINTENANCE TECHNICIANS) are authorized to access
the machine parts protected by panels for maintenance and repair interventions.
• During routine maintenance operations, scrupulously follow the safety instructions given in the corresponding
chapters before accessing the dangerous area.
