The fi ll level indicator (C, Figure 3) helps you to esti-
mate the amount of impression material remaining in
the cartridge. However, after installing a new cart-
ridge or if the cartridge is very full, the indicator will at
fi rst not be visible.
The indicator will only become visible once the pis-
tons have advanced approx. 25 mm into the cart-
ridge.

3. Cleaning / Maintenance
To clean the unit, merely wipe it down with a moist
cloth.
Never use cleansers containing solvents.
3.1 Cleaning the Interior
With the pistons retracted, the cartridge bed is easily
accessible for cleaning.
Without a cartridge installed, the pistons can be
retracted to the appropriate position to permit the
removal of residue from the pressure discs or the
spindle covers.
NEVER clean the spindles themselves. The
grease applied to spindles is necessary for
the unit's proper function.
