Maintenance of the Jaw Star
Purpose:
To ensure the proper cleaning and maintenance of the Jaw Star of the Preroll-Er (Station 5) to maintain optimal performance and prevent contamination.
Materials Needed:
- Iso alcohol
- Tube brush
- Wrench (if not using a quick connect)
- Linjette (to help with cleaning and drying)
Procedure:
- Unscrew the Holder Sleeve (15)
- Begin by unscrewing the holder sleeve from the funnel assembly. This will allow access to the components that need cleaning.
- Remove the Compacting Pin
If your Preroll-Er is equipped with a quick connect:
- Use the quick connect to remove the compacting pin.
If your Preroll-Er is not equipped with a quick connect:
- Loosen the nut located above the compacting pin and unscrew it to remove the pin.
- Clean the Funnel
- Once the compacting pin is removed, take iso alcohol and a tube brush to clean the interior of the funnel (referred to as "la fleur").
- Apply iso alcohol as needed to ensure thorough cleaning.
- Use wipe to remove any excess alcohol and dry the components.
- Inspect the Funnel Regularly
- It is important to regularly inspect your funnel to ensure it is in good condition. A damaged funnel can lose pieces and affect performance.
- With proper inspection and timely maintenance, you can prevent any issues that may arise from neglect.
- Reassemble the Components
- After cleaning, reinsert the compacting pin, followed by the holder sleeve and the sleeve compacting pin cone.
Note: Regular maintenance of the funnel will enhance the overall efficiency of your Preroll-Er. Make it a habit to perform these cleaning procedures routinely to ensure optimal performance.
