Adjusting the Brush Tank Water Level – refer to Figures 4 and 5
1. Loosen the retaining screws on the water bottle brackets.
2. Move the water bottle brackets to the desired position to obtain the
desired water level in the brush tank. Light weight tapes would

4. Tighten the retaining screw.

1. Remove the water bottle from the machine.
2. Remove the duckbill valve from the water bottle.
3. Fill the water bottle with water.

Once the machine has been properly setup for use, pull the operating handle to the desired
length that is on the scale and release the handle, when the handle returns to the resting
position the tape will be cut. The mechanical stop is provided on the side of the machine

or down the slot in the machine and retightening.
Caution: The knurled nut should never be removed.
Maintenance

2. Clean the brush by soaking it in warm soapy water and then rinse.
3. Clean the brush tank by rinsing it with warm water.
