PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
DISPENSE NEEDLE REPLACEMENT
If no material or reduced volumes of material come out of the dispense needle it may be partially or completely
clogged. Clean with water or solvent depending on the material dispensed. A fine wire, used cautiously, will help
open clogged needles. Replace the needle if damaged or severely clogged. Replacement needles can be
ordered for the Model 710 Dispense Valve by specifying the proper part number. See the Recommended Spare
Parts section of this manual or consult the drawings for your exact model.
