System Setup and Operation (continued)
Filling Procedure for Pourable Low and Medium Viscosity Fluids
If the fluid you are dispensing is pourable, take the syringe barrel, twist on tip cap and pour your fluid in. Insert a
white SmoothFlow piston and carefully press down until it contacts the fluid. The syringe barrel is now ready for use.
Filling Procedure for Thick Fluids
If your fluid is thick or non-leveling, you can spoon it into the syringe barrel with a spatula. Or, if the fluid comes
packed in a 1/10 gallon (300 mL) cartridge, try loading the barrel with a caulking gun. Then, press the SmoothFlow
piston to move the fluid to the bottom of the syringe barrel and remove trapped air.
Trapped air in thick fluids can lead to drooling and oozing. Also, repetitive air cycles can bore tunnels through
non-leveling fluids, causing spitting and inconsistent deposits. The SmoothFlow piston eliminates these problems.
It prevents tunneling by providing a barrier to the pulsed-air cycles. And it prevents oozing by responding to the
pressure of trapped air with a slight suck-back movement after the dispense cycle.
