10.1 Maintenance

Make sure that the working cycle of the machine has ended before you start working on the
machine. Depending on the work to be performed, the power supply or the air supply can
be disconnected.
The air cylinder and other parts of the machine are virtually maintenance-free.
However, the condition is that clean and dry air is used for the heat seal machine. The ap-
plied water separator / pressure regulator is an extra safety.
Have your machine serviced by technically qualified personnel. Moisture and polluted air
disturb the sustainable lubrication of the air cylinder.
It is recommended to have the following tools at hand:
• Phillips and flat screwdrivers
• A set of flat and pipe keys
• Allen key set
• A multimeter
Remove the plug from the wall socket BEFORE starting maintenance or repairs
Teflon cover:
The teflon film protecting the element must be cleaned regularly to prevent sticking of la-
bels and patches or the transfer of dirt to the garments. Clean the Teflon cover with a dry,
clean cloth while the machine is still warm. Repeat the process regularly as often as neces-
sary. Damaged or soiled Teflon protection should be replaced. These are available from your
Thermopatch supplier.
Rubber cushion:
Clean the still warm rubber plate with a clean, lint-free cloth. Clean it as often as necessary.
Damaged or soiled rubber sheets must be replaced. These are available from your Thermo-
patch supplier.
Replacing the rubber cushion:
• Turn off the device and allow it to cool
• Make sure both the bottom metal plate and the rubber cushion are clean and free of
grease
• Apply SPA-AS1504 silicone adhesive (with a glue comb) to the metal plate and place the
rubber plate immediately with no air bubbles
• Allow to dry overnight at room temperature under light pressure without heating.

Air filter:

The air filter, or the water separator / pressure regulator, must be checked daily and, if nec-
essary, emptied by opening the cap on the underside of the filter.
Replace the fuses
Make sure that the machine is switched off and that the power cord is unplugged! Replace
the T16 A fuses at the back of the machine. Then plug in the power cord again and the ma-
chine is ready for use again.
For other parts, contact your supplier for their replacement or repair.
