Maintaining the Moistener
If you notice incomplete or poor sealing and the moistener tank is
full, you may need to clean the moistener brush or wick. If seal qual-
ity doesn’t improve after cleaning, you can replace the stripper blade
and brush assembly or wick as needed. See Chapter 14, Supplies
and Options
for instructions on ordering these supplies for your ma-
chine.
