Brady PAM 3000 - Manual (Page 21)

21 Printer-Applicator-System PAM 3000
Slide Valve
The lift cylinder (1) is equipped with a slide valve (2), which can only be actuated manually.
By delivering the slide valve is closed so it is possible to keep the compressed air in the lift
cylinder. That way the pad (3) is hold in its upper position.
By opening the slide valve (slide the ring upwards to the position "bleed") it is possible to
remove the pad from its upper position as the compressed air supply is closed and the
applicator is switched off.
But the slide valve should only be opened (bleed) if it is necessary to move the pad for
mounting or service for example cleaning the pad, or removing fragments of labels.

CAUTION !
Pay attention to the pad while opening the slide valve.
It should be swung away from the peel-off edge of the printer (90°-position).
CAUTION !
The slide valve must be closed during operation.
Otherwise the lift cylinder can be moved without control, which can cause
damages.
