Consumables
All unit consumables are available from STS. The unit must be fitted with original STS
consumables unless otherwise stated. Any deviation from non-original consumables may
result in injury to personnel or damage to the unit and will invalidate the warranty.
Polycarbonate Guarding Replacement
The polycarbonate guarding should be replaced if damaged, cracked or visibility is
reduced. These are available from STS.
To replace the polycarbonate guard, isolate the unit in a safe area, then proceed as follows:
•
Remove the four rivets located in each corner and remove the old guard.
•
On the new polycarbonate guard, peel back the protective film along all long
edges.
•
Position the new polycarbonate guard so that it fits inside the four tabs and use the
existing holes to drill through with a 6mm drill bit.
•
Reinsert the screw rivets to secure the new polycarbonate guard in place.
