8.0 Dispensing
The minimum shot of the dispenser is one division on the Fine gauge’s dispensing unit is
marked at the bottom. For example, 2957/384 means the unit is 1/384 US Fl. Oz.
Numbers on the Rough gauge and the Fine gauge have same unit marked at the bottom of
the Rough gauge. For example, if the Rough gauge is marked 2957/48, the number “30”
on the Rough gauge represents the dispensing value of “30x29.57/48ml.”, and number “2”
on the Fine gauge represents the dispensing value of “2x29.57/48ml.”
（Figure 7.2）

Dispensing Procedures：
01 Determine the dispensing quantity of different colorant
as per the formula.
02 Put an open base paint can on the shelf, pull the
turntable brake handle down into the horizontal slot, and
rotate the turntable until the nozzle is right above the
base paint can. Push the turntable brake handle up to
the vertical slot and move the turntable left and right
slightly to lock the turntable (See Figure 8.1).
Attention! Please put the base paint can as close as
possible to the spout.
03 Press and hold the Rough (or Fine) button as required,
lift up the Rough (or Fine) gauge to required number,
and then release the button to lock the gauge (See
Figure 8.2).
04 Lift up the plunger handle up to the maximum travel
and hold for several seconds to ensure the pump is
filled with colorant.
Attention! Do not open or operate the valve
handle when lifting up plunger handle, otherwise
air will enter into the pump and cause inaccurate
dispensing
05 Turn the valve handle to an angle of 90º, pull the plunger handle down to its full travel,
then release the valve handle slowly back to its original position. Repeat the above
procedures for more shots of the same colorant (See Figure 8.3).
06 Press down Rough release button, push the Rough
gauge back to zero-scale and then release the Rough
release button.
07 Press down Fine release button, push the Fine gauge
back to zero-scale and then release the Fine release
button.
Attention!
●As a precise device, either black or red gauge is vulnerable to damage
（Figure 8.1）
（Figure 8.2）
（Figure 8.3）

- 11 -
when falling freely to the zero-scale.
●Set the Rough or Fine gauge to zero-scale when it is not in use.
●The aggregation of the shots by black and red gauges should be equal to
the dispensing quantity specified in the formula.
08 Use the same method to dispense all the other required colorant into the base paint
can.
9.0 Maintenance
In order to keep the shaker in good condition, and
to extend its life, daily maintenance is
recommended.
1. Only qualified personnel can disassemble the
shaker.
2. Lubricate the guide screw shafts and shock
absorber shaft once every three months with
oil (see Figure 9.1).
Dispenser Maintenance
1）Daily Maintenance
01 Move each plunger handle up and down three times every day to ensure smooth flow
of the colorant and to avoid blockages in pumps and canisters.
02 Clean the nozzle with soft cloth or cotton moistened with water or thinner to keep it
unobstructed.
03 Move the valve handle 5 times every day. This can keep the valve in optimum working
condition and prevent the colorant from drying in the valve.
04 Check the colorant level in canisters and refill if necessary. If the colorant is lower than
the feeding level, air will enter the pump when lifting up the plunger handle. This will
cause inaccuracy in dispensing.
2）Weekly Maintenance
01 Check if the canister is loose. If so, tighten the tapping screws under the turntable
(see 7.5- Replacement of Canister)
02 Check if the gauge’s scales are damaged or covered with colorant. Clean or replace
the gauges if necessary.
（Figure 9.1）

- 12 -
03 Set the black gauge at its full scale; lift up the plunger handle to check if the shaft is
stuck by colorant. If yes, the big piston must be replaced because it has been worn
out and/or broken.
3）Periodical Maintenance
The dispenser must be maintained every 3-6 months:
01 Check to see if the fixed base is loose or not (Figure 9.2A). If loose, push the base to
the bottom most position; fasten two screws of the base symmetrically with inner
hexagon Spanner. (Figure 9.2B and 9.2C)
Note: don’t screw too hard.
02 Open canister lid during the process of mixing to observe if the agitator works
normally. For any abnormity, stop mixing and repair the canister.
03 Cleaning the nozzle: Rotate the valve handle and pull out the nozzle. Clean the nozzle
with cotton moistened with water or thinner. Then rotate the valve handle once again
to reinstall the nozzle.
Attention!
After reinstallation of nozzle, dispense out certain amount of colorant to fill the
nozzle. The reinstallation must be carried out carefully.
The M3 by default is installed with a large-size nozzle. The end user can choose
to install a different size nozzle according to the colorant’s viscosity.
4）Yearly Maintenance
After a long period of use, colorant may be stuck to the inner wall of the pump and canister.
This will make the piston difficult to move and cause measurement errors. If this is the case,
cleaning must be done to canisters and pumps.
01. Remove the canister assembly from the turntable.
02. Pour any remaining colorant from the canister into a clean container.
03. Clean the canister with warm water to get rid of most of the adhesive colorant.

04. Properly dispose the mix of cleaner and colorant according to local environmental
regulations.
05. Reinstall the canister on the turntable.
06. Add some cleaner into the canister.
07. Set the Rough gauge to its maximum scale.
08. Put a container right below the nozzle and then operate as dispensing procedures
(6.3).
09. Set the Fine gauge to its maximum scale.
10. Place a container right below the nozzle and then operate as dispensing procedures
(6.3).
11. Repeat steps 7-9 until the canister is clean (the cleaner can be used for 1-3 times.
Yet fresh cleaner is required for the final cleaning).
12. Leave the canister to dry before re-filling with fresh colorant.
10.0 Replacement
Replace Sniff-Back Piston
01. Rotate the valve handle and pull out the nozzle.
02. Rotate the valve handle to its maximum travel and hold.
03. Pull out the sniff-back piston.
04. Install a new sniff-back piston with small O-ring.
05. Reinstall the nozzle.
06. Release the valve handle.
Replace Canister
01. Loosen but do not remove the three screws that fix the canister under the turntable
using the inner hexagon wrench. Rotate the canister clockwise to remove from the
turntable.
02. While installing the new canister, place the three M6 screws at the bottom of the
canister into the larger ends of the three cone-shaped holes in the turntable.
Caution: Must insert the canister crank into the plastic sleeve in the turntable
(see Figure 7.5.1).
03. Rotate the canister anti-clockwise, shift the canister’s three screws to the smaller
