Getting To Know The Machine
Understanding the repair cycle
Cleaning the pads
Setting up the consumables
The Eco Pro uses a single-stage disc repair process.
In other words, the machine applies a constant,
gradual repair to the disc in one operation.
A combination of abrasive liquid and heat is used to
perform a repair. The plastic playing surface is heated
up and softened, and then the liquid abrasive grinds
away a thin layer of plastic, removing the scratches
within it.
The machine uses two soft foam pads to apply both
the liquid abrasive and water solution to the disc. The
liquid abrasive removes the scratches while the water
solution is used to stop the disc overheating.
With this process, the longer the disc is being
repaired the more scratches are removed.
For a clean and dry disc every time it is important
to clean the pads regularly. There is a reminder
programed into the machine which displays every 20
repair cycles. The message is “Clean Pads”.
Press any button to clear the message.
Simply rinse the pads with water from a tap until all
visible signs of polish residue are removed. We advise
waiting until the pads have dried out before re-tting
them in the machine.
If you choose not to clean the pads at this stage you
will start to see some residue transfer to the disc.
This may not directly aect the repair, but will require
you to wipe each disc after each repair.
Everything you need to operate your machine is
included within the consumables pack. Each pack is
designed to last for a set time – 800 minutes.
There will be a little surplus polish in the container
when the chip expires. This is normal. The bottle is
overlled a little to ensure you do not run out. There
is no reason to keep this surplus as the new bottle is
also a little overlled - please discard it with the used
pads and the chip.
The pads are attached with Velcro and are very
simple to change.
1. Peel the pads away from the edge of the pad
holder.
2. Position the new pads to line up with the pad
holder and rmly stick them down.
Replacing the pads
When the consumables have expired the message
“Change KEY CARD” (Change Consumables) will
appear. Discard the used pads, polish, water and chip
before installing new ones.
Unlike most disc repair machines, the Eco Pro does
not create any signicant waste, however because
of the heat generated by the machine, any leftover
compound dries and so a small powdery residue will
build up over time.
The well inside the machine is designed to catch most
of this residue (please refer to the Maintenance section
on how to clear this).
There are two other parts of the machine which collect
reside and will ultimately eect the repair over time.
Always remember these important points,
Please read the next sections on how to combat this
and how to get the most from your machine.
Compound considerations
Clearing the nozzle valves
The two nozzle valves are designed to stop the
compound drying in the lines. However these will over
time become blocked with dried compound.
Before using the machine, remove the nozzle valves,
roll them between your ngers to clear any dried
polish and then reinstall them on the machine.
Blocked nozzle valves will damage your machine
