Raising the Platen when there is a Container
To prevent damage to the sealing rings, make sure you do the following
steps when attempting to raise the platen from an adhesive container.
Step 1 - Make sure the platen is hot enough so that none of the adhesive
sticks to it. From the Home screen, touch the Platen button then Adjust Set
Point.
Step 2 - Use compressed air from beneath the platen to help the heated
platen raise itself up. This process is called Aerating the Container. The
following section details this procedure in greater detail.
Aerating Container
WARNING! Risk of injury! Do not use an external source of compressed air
for aeration. Excessive pressure could damage both the platen the adhesive
container.
1. Make sure the selector Raise/lower platen (2) is set to 0.
2. Remove the rod (4) out of the aeration connection.
3. Secure the aeration tube (3).

Lowering Platen
When lowering the platen into an adhesive container, you must always
deaerate or let any air escape from under the platen.

3. Unscrew the rod (2) somewhat to open the air relief valve.
4. Press both buttons on the two-hand control at the same time (within 0.5
seconds) until the platen is inside of the container. The downward motion
continues on its own now.
