Prev. Maint. (cont.)

WARNING: Make sure the temperature controller has been powered off prior to removing

and / or replacing the solder tip. If the power is on the tip may burn out.

Apollo Seiko will not replace tips that have been “blown” in this manner.

The RSP iron tip heats up in less than three seconds. If the power is not OFF,

the operator’s fingers will be burned. Use a silicone rubber tube to grasp the

tips when removing or inserting them. This will protect your fingers as well as

give you a better grip on the tip.

Iron Tip Replacement Replace with a new tip by inserting the tip into the tip holder

(cont.) and sliding it into the tube until you feel it stop. Gently rotate the tip

until you feel the key-way lock into position.

Again while supporting the iron unit, apply upward pressure until the

tip locks.

Note: You should move the feed tube out of your way by loosening the

locking nut and pulling the feed tube out of the way. Once you

have inserted the new tip, slide the feed tube back into its lowest

position and lock it into place.

Feed Tube Replacement The solder feed tube will need replacing on an as needed basis.

(as needed) This is accomplished by loosening the thumb screw on the upper

portion of the feed tube (feeder end) and pulling the tube out. The lower

portion of the feed tube can be removed by turning the thumb screw on

the iron end counter clockwise and removing the tube.

Simply replace the new feed tube by doing the reverse steps above.

(approx. 6 months) Remove the covers from the Z axis (above iron unit), the X axis

(behind Apollo logo decal) and the Y axis (front to back cover behind

the Z axis cover. There are slides which the moving axes travel on.

These need to be greased semi-annually. The Theta axis is located

under the same cover with the Z axis. The Z axis is a ball screw.

Lubricate as necessary.
