JO960.
2. Turn the main switch to position 1.
“Reset” will be illuminated on the front panel.
3. Press the “’Start/Reset switch”
“Reset” will go out and the “Start/Reset
switch” will be illuminated.
Work with JO960
4. Place the heating tip on the work piece and press the On/Off
switch on the hand held transformer.
5. Move the heating tip over the work piece that is to be heated.
Remark: Do not press the heating tip hard against the work piece.
It only wears the heating tip unnecessarily.
No higher effect will be reached through pressing the heating tip
against the work piece. It is quite sufficient to put the heating tip
against the work piece
6. Release the on/off switch when the work piece has reached the
correct temperature. ( See e.g. JOSAM’s colour scale, T43 1-2-3
9712), and the heating tip stops heating.
Handling instructions for JO960
JO960 is divided into two main parts. The top (painted red) contains all
control and power electronics. Transformer cable equipped with a control
unit and a heating tip is connected to this upper part.
The lower part (painted silver) contains the cooling unit and water tank
Cooling unit
The working piece and the heating tip distribute much heat, water is used
as cooling agent. The water is cooled by a compressor with a condensor
(cooling unit). The cooling system is controlled automatically.

Water tank/ refilling
When shipped the water tank (see 1 on Figure 2) is filled with approx. 40
litres of water with a mixture of water and Ethylenglycol to prevent
freezing. The cooling liquid must have a freezing point below -15ºC (5ºF).
Check regularly that the water level is above the hole for the return
water, which can be found on the side of the water tank. Use a glycol
dilution with the correct freezing point when the water tank is being filled.
The most commonly sold marks of glycol for vehicles can be used in
JO960. The most commonly used is Ethylenglycol but also
Polypropylenglycol.
Remark: Different kinds of glycol should not be mixed, as it then loses
its characteristics and the freezing point can no longer be
controlled. If Ethylenglycol is not available the water tank must
be emptied completely before it is refilled.
Setting of the temperature of the cooling water
To secure that JO960 works satisfactorily, the temperature of the
cooling water must be set correctly. Factors, that will influence this
setting is.
•The time and frequency when the machine is used for heating.
•The ambient temperatures when running the machine.
•Air cirulation inside the machine.
The thermostat is used for setting the temperature in the cooling unit
(See 3 on Figure 2). There are two types of thermostats. One, that is
preset to 15 degrees, need not to be adjusted under normal working
conditions. The other kind of thermostat, that is adjustable, could be set
to 0 under normal working condition.
When the temperature is lowered it might cause condence to form on the
control unit due to the air humidity of the surroundings.

Cleaning of condensor
JO960 creates much heat and therefore requires that the airflow is not
obstructed. The condensor (cooling unit, see No 4 on Figure 2) need to
be cleaned regularly.
Lukewarm water is perfect for cleaning. If heavily dirty a degreasing
compound can be used.
REMARK: Never use a high-pressure washer, it might damage the
condensor.
Electronic part
The electronic part does not contain any parts the requires special care.
At the bottom of this part there are four (4) fuses.
To access the fuses unit, turn the handle and carefully lift the electronic
unit - top (painted red) to an upright position.
F1/32A – Main fuse to electronic
unit
F2/2A – Water pump
F3/10A –Cooling fan

Operator measures at malfunctions
If there is any malfunction JO960 automatically switches off and an
indicator is illuminated. The operator could then perform a preliminary
trouble shooting to solve minor problems.
If the indicator of the cooling unit has been illuminated it can be
due to:
-Thermostat is incorrectly adjusted. Check the water
temperature. If the water is cold the thermostat is set at too
low temperature. Certain machines, that are equipped with a
turnable knob, should normally be set at zero. Thermostats
without a knob should normally be set at 15°.
If the water is warm and the machine has been used
continuously for a long time, it might be necessary to reset
the thermostat to a higher position and lower the
temperature.
-Airflow through the machine is obstructed due to the fact
that the sides of the machine or the condensor (the cooling
unit) is filled with dirt. Cleaning of the condensor is
described on page 10. Before using the machine again the
high pressure safety pressostat must be reset, (See 5 on
Figure 2 ).
-Ambient temperature is too high. In extreme cases the
ambient temperature could exceed (50ºC). In this case the
high pressure pressostat must be reset manually. Check
that the cooling water has cooled down to a low temperature
before starting to work again.
Remark: Reset can only be done after the JO 960 hs been left
to cool down. During this period the JO960 should be
switched on at the main switch so that the cooling fan is
rotating.
Remark: Avoid placing the machine in sunny places.

If the machine indicates high temperature the cooling water is too
warm. This might be caused by
-Compressor has stopped. Check if the fuse F4 (See table
on Figur 3) has blown.
-Extremely hard usage during a long period.
This indicator will be illuminated if the cooling water is not flowing
correctly, which might be caused by
-Circulation pump does not work. Check if the Fuse F2 has
blown.
-The cables, hand held transformer or heating tip are
malfunctioning. Check that they are not damaged in any
way.
”Reset” indicator is illuminated when the electronic unit of JO960
does not work properly. Possibly caused by
-Shortcircuit of heating tip or hand held transformer. If the
heating tip is damaged, it must be changed. (see Changing
of heating tip on page 11).
-Inadequate earthing for hand held unit. Check ground
cables (yellow/green cables) as well as their connections in
the hand held unit.
Remark: Only trained service technicians are allowed to perform
any work on electronic unit, compressor and electric
couplings.
