How to Use this
Guide
This guide is organized
into eleven sections.
Each section provides
detailed information on NSC80 Dispenser topics and provides a basic reference
that can be used to help you with specific issues.
Important: Carefully read all the installation instructions and the safety
information before you first use your NSC80 Dispenser.
This guide provides instructions for safely and easily installing your NSC80
Dispenser when it arrives. This publication also includes operational instructions,
daily and preventative maintenance procedures, basic troubleshooting
suggestions, customer service, and warranty information.
If you are an experienced user, you may already know enough to get started. Make
sure you look over the information in Getting to Know Your NSC80 Dispenser to
find out about the features of this NSC80 Dispenser.
If you have internet access, the most current information for your NSC80
Dispenser is available from the worldwide web at

For Your Safety
Customer safety is important. Our products are designed to be safe and effective.
However, dispensers are electrical equipment. The NSC80 Dispenser is safe and
reliable—designed to bring many years of operation. There are precautions you
can take to avoid damage to the equipment or bodily injury before operating. By
carefully following the instructions in this document and the warning and
maintenance labels on the machine, you can help protect yourself from hazards
and create a safer work environment.
Equipment can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product damage
is serious enough that the product should not be used again until it has been
inspected and, if necessary, repaired by a Fluid Management authorized service
technician.
As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the mixer when it is turned on.
On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of smoke or sparks
vent from your machine, or you might hear sounds like popping, cracking or
hissing. These conditions might merely mean that an internal electronic component
has failed in a safe and controlled manner. However, it may indicate a potential
safety issue. DO NOT take risks or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself.
Contact Fluid Management at 1-800-462-2466 for assistance.

knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall

connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The insulation wire
with green or green and yellow stripes on the outer surface is the grounding
wire. Check with a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood or if in doubt about whether the product is properly
grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided. If it will not fit into the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Note: This product is for use on a dedicated nominal 120

Assembling the Machines
Your Harbil NSC80 Compact Color Dispenser requires only the simple attaching of the individual canisters to
the turntable or fastening to the in-line base. Do not fill the canisters with colorant before they are mounted on
the base.
For In-Line NSC80 Dispensers
1. Place the first canister in position on the in-line base or at the front of the turntable.
2. Screw three 1/4-20 hex-head bolts with rubber washers into the bottom of the canister and after all
three bolts are in place snug them up with a wrench (these bolts and washers are packaged in a
separate bag with the red nozzle caps). DO NOT overtighten the bolts.
3. The canister covers can now be installed on the canisters. (See IMPORTANT note in turntable section,
#3.)
For Turntable NSC80 Dispensers
1. Place the first canister in position at the front of the turntable.
2. Depress the index lever and move the turntable to the next position and repeat the above
procedure until all of the canisters are mounted.
3. The canister covers can now be installed on the canisters.
IMPORTANT:
•The canister covers should be kept on the canisters at all times to minimize the
evaporation and drying of the colorant.
•Nozzle closers are provided with every canister to help prevent drying of the colorant
and they closed after every use.
