Step 1: Emptying the tank

  • Disconnect all hoses and hand guns from the device.
  • With the exception of a small amount, allow the hot-melt adhesive to drain off into a suitable container via the “quick drain” or at low pump speed.

Step 2: Mechanical cleaning

  • Use a plastic/wooden spatula to clean the inside of the tank. Remove the resulting incrustations with the spatula. Do not use metal spatulas, as these could damage the non-sick coating.

Step 5: Empty the tank and insert the filter cartridge

  • Allow avenia B41577.2 to run out of the tank until the discharge is free of contamination/impurities.
  • Insert new filter cartridge.
  • Fill the tank again to a quarter full. Now connect the heatable hose and applicator to enable them to be rinsed.
  • Finally, pour the productive adhesive into the tank and allow it to run through until the cleaner B41577.2 has been rinsed out of the tank, hose and applicator.
