Maintenance
This section describes how to clean and/or replace the part of your mail-
ing system that moistens the flap on the envelope. This part of the mailing
system is the moistener brush assembly and consists of the moistener
brush, moistener wick and moistener tank.
If the seal quality does not improve after cleaning, you can replace the
wick or moistener brush as needed. To order replacements, refer to Chap-
ter 11, Supp��ies and Options in this guide. Only a Pitney Bowes represen-
tative can install a new moistener tank.
CAUTION: Never remove the E-Z Seal® bottle and the moist-
ener tank at the same time. This can result in E-Z Seal® leaking
into the mailing machine.
