2.Remove the cap from the bottle.

3.Add enough E-Z Seal® to bring the level up to the bottom of the fill cap.

Moistener Maintenance

CAUTION: Do not overfill the E-Z Seal® bottle.

CAUTION: Make sure you do not spill any solution in the tape well. If the tape gets wet, it can warp and cause a jam.

4.Replace and tighten the cap and replace the bottle. The nozzle should be facing down and the flat side of the bottle facing the front of the sys- tem.

5.Close the feed cover.

This section describes how to clean and/or replace the part of your mailing system that moistens the flap on the envelope. This part of the mailing sys- tem 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 Chapter 11, Supplies and Options in this guide. Only a Pitney Bowes representative can install a new moistener tank.

CAUTION: Never remove the E-Z Seal® bottle and the moistener tank at the same time. This can result in E-Z Seal® leaking into the mailing machine.
