The specific polyurethane glue tank should be cleaned even if it is not used for periods more than 12 + 18 hours (if there is no reservoir for the glue tank). Proceed as follows: -Dismantle the glue tank. - Clean glue tank using wooden spatula. WARNING! DO NOT USE METAL TOOLS FOR CLEANING DO NOT USE SOLVENTS Additional operations should be carried out with glue tank specific or polyurethane glue. - Introduce the right quantity of "cleaning agent for polyurethane glue" in tank (if reservoir for glue tank is not available) -Supply voltage to the machine. - Switch the glue tank on and wait for the right working temperature necessary for the polyurethane glue. - Make the machine work idly for 5-10 minutes, so that the cleaner can freely act. - Switch the machine off. - Before resuming work: remove the cleaning agent by using a wood spatula, add a small polyurethane glue quantity and totally remove the cleaning agent + glue mixture by using waste panels.
