Hazard of Pressurized Air
Pressurized air blow can result in hot plastic or foreign bodies entering the
eyes, causing vision damage.
Following work must be carried out by qualied and experienced persons.
Use personal protective equipment: Face protection, hearing protection and
gloves.
For rst contact your medical / safety representing.
Hot Surfaces Hazard
Contact between the skin and hot surfaces could result in burns.
Use personal protective equipment, such as work gloves, apron, sleeves and face

warnings.
For rst contact your medical / safety representing.
Hot Surfaces Hazard
The nozzle is still hot.
NOTICE
To dismount the nozzle tip from the nozzle, if there is plastic
material in the nozzle, the tip must be heated-up.
Never use an acetylene or welding torch, as severe nozzle
damage can occur from over-heating.
NOTICE
When unscrewing the nozzle tip, the nozzle can rotate with the
nozzle tip, this can lead to leakage at the base of the nozzle.

Service and Maintenance / Assembling the Nozzle Body and nozzle heaters
10.3.1 Assembling the Nozzle Body and nozzle heaters
1) Apply spotting ink on the nozzle body (1) bottom surface (SF1).
2) Screw in the nozzle body (1) hand-tight into the manifold thread until
seated.
3) Unscrew the nozzle body (1) from the manifold.
4) Check the matching between the manifold bottom surfaces (SF2) and
the nozzle body (1) surface (SF1).
NOTICE
The manifold must bear on all surfaces uniformly and flatly, in
particular on the nozzle head contact face.
In case of any uncertainty, clean the surfaces with a cleaning
cloth. If the next ink test is still unsatisfactory, contact
Synventive Customer Service or Technical Support.
5) With a positive ink test clean the surfaces and proceed to the next step.
6) Lubricate the thread (not the face) of the nozzle body with high-
temperature assembly paste (antiseize compound).
NOTICE
This is an important measure to prevent thread corrosion due
to aggressive gases, which could be released during plastics
processing.
