changed, or once a month, depending on the machine’s use, and must be replaced with a filter of the same
type: 100μ.
U
The bags “Z” containing mixed resins and active carbons, respectively, must be changed when the water’s
pH value exceeds 10, and regardless of this value, approximately every 5000/6000 plates.
Remove the bags and replace them with new ones.
The “V” filter must be unscrewed regularly in order to clean the wire mesh.
Discharge the used developer liquid by opening the general cock shown in the picture below.
For automatic loading of new liquid, see chap. 7.7 “Developer, regenerating and rubber product containers”.

The coolant liquid is obtained by mixing antifreeze coolant-based ethylene glycol (10%) and
DEMINERALIZED water (90%).
Prepare 0.5 litres of coolant fluid + 4.5 litres of DEMINERALIZED water, per a total of 5 litres.
Below is a list of the maintenance operations that require special technical know-how and that must be
performed by the manufacturer’s qualified personnel.
The user must never for any reason intervene on the following:
Warning
For all interventions involving adjustment, tuning, and replacement not described in this manual, that may
result necessary, please consult the manufacturer’s or sales agent’s technicians.
If the developer unit is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer how descripted in this
manual , the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired
Eliminate even the slightest trace of oil and grease on the machine; lubricants must not be
dispersed in the environment, but must be recovered or treated by specialists in the elimination
of harmful products.
Whenever materials used for production processing, lubricants or condensation water are not eliminated
according to the laws and standards in question, the following danger risks are possible:
1) Environmental pollution.
For the separation of the various materials and their recycling or elimination, please refer to the national or
regional laws in question for the elimination of solid industrial waste and toxic and harmful waste:
- All sheathes, flexible hosing and plastic components or non-metal components must be dismantled
and eliminated separately.
- Electrical components such as valves, electrovalves, pressure regulators, switches,
transformers,etc., must be dis-assembled for re-use if still in good condition, or where possible,
repaired and recycled.
- The frame and all metal machine parts must be dis-assembled and grouped according to material
type. In this manner, all the various original machine parts can be melted down for recycling.
The elimination of products classed as toxic- harmful must be carried out according to national
and regional laws, by delivery to members of an authorised consortium for the elimination of
waste oil.
EU 2002/96/EC The symbol of a crossed out waste bin on the unit indicates that at the end of its
lifespan the product must be processed separately from ordinary domestic waste, and
must be conferred to a differentiated refuse collection centre for electrical and electronic
equipment (RAEE), or shipped back to the retailer when purchasing a new unit. The
User is responsible for conferring the unit at the end of its lifespan to an appropriate
differentiated collection centre, where its parts and components can be recycled,
treated and disposed of accordingly, contributing to preventing possible negative effects
on health and the environment, and favouring the recycling of its materials. For more
detailed information on available collection systems, contact your local waste collection
service, or the retailer from whom the unit was purchased.
