Brush Pot Assembly
The brush pot contains the moistening brush and the brush weight assembly. This unit must be removed
regularly to clean the moistening brush and brush pot of any accumulated adhesive buildup. Failure to
maintain a clean moistening brush will decrease the wicking action and result in poorly moistened water
activated tape.
Removing The Brush Pot
The brush pot should be removed and
cleaned regularly
1. Lift off the water bottle from the brush
pot stem as shown in Figure 7-8
2. Raise the front edge of the brush pot as
you slide it forward to remove it from the
