4. Installation Instructions
Caution: Always ensure the applicator is clean and free from debris before performing any maintenance or part replacement. Handle springs with care to prevent injury.
- Identify Worn Parts: Carefully inspect your PrimaFlex Applicator to determine which specific parts (red insert, black insert, or springs) require replacement.
- Remove Old Parts: Depending on the part, gently pry or unhook the old component from its position within the applicator. For springs, note their original placement and orientation.
- Insert New Plastic Parts: Align the new red or black plastic insert with its corresponding slot in the applicator. Press firmly until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it moves freely without obstruction.
- Install New Springs: Carefully position the new springs into their designated locations. Ensure they are seated correctly and provide the necessary tension for the applicator's mechanism.
- Test Functionality: After replacing the parts, operate the applicator several times without an ear tag to confirm smooth operation and proper spring action.
5. Maintenance
To prolong the life of your PrimaFlex Applicator and its spare parts:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the applicator, especially after use, to remove dirt, debris, or ear tag residue. Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all moving parts, including the inserts and springs, for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace parts from this kit as needed.
- Storage: Store the applicator in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
6. Troubleshooting
If your PrimaFlex Applicator is not functioning correctly after replacing parts, consider the following:
- Parts Not Fitting: Ensure you have the correct spare parts set for your specific PrimaFlex Applicator model. Verify that each part is oriented correctly during installation.
- Applicator Sticking/Not Smooth: Check for any debris obstructing the movement of the new inserts or springs. Ensure springs are properly seated and not bent.
- Insufficient Tension: If the applicator lacks proper tension, verify that the springs are correctly installed and are not damaged or stretched.
If issues persist, consult the original applicator manual or contact KERBL customer support.
