Properly maintaining your windshield repair resin injector will save you
time and money. Delta Kits windshield repair systems require very little
maintenance, but cleaning your injector after each repair is absolutely
essential.
The process is really quite simple, but must be performed properly and
consistently to keep your injector in top working condition, particularly if
you are using one of the new Delta Kits I-100 injectors due to its extra
tight tolerances. Recommended cleaning procedures are as follows:
1) Separate the piston from the cylinder immediately after use and lock the
piston in the vacuum position.
2) Rinse both parts for a minimum of 30 seconds.
3) Remove the parts from the alcohol and set the piston back to the pressure
position.
4) Rinse the piston for an additional 30 seconds.
5) Blow out any residual alcohol that remains in or on the piston and/or
cylinder with compressed air.
6) Store piston and cylinder separately in your Delta Kits tool box with the
piston in the pressure position. Be sure to keep the lid closed to reduce UV
exposure.
Note: The I-100 longer than the EZK-3 so you will need a 4oz cleaning jar.
Order Delta Kits part number JR400, which will also work for your older
EZK-3 and 77-3 injectors.
Failure to properly clean your injector voids the lifetime warranty, so
please take the extra two minutes to thoroughly clean your injector after
each repair performed.
Denatured alcohol is available at most paint and hardware stores (near the
paint thinner). Always
carry a can of compressed air with you in case there is not an air
compressor available. Compressed air is available at most office supply
stores, just be sure that it does not contain an oil or lubricant of any
kind.
With proper maintenance your Delta Kits injector will last a lifetime!
