Author Topic: Kelmar print cleaner instructions Zack Strickland Film Handler Posts: 23 From: Dallas, GA, USA Registered: Nov 2009 posted 03-07-2010 05:43 PM                     I have this cleaner in my theatre: I can't for the life of me figure out how to thread it. It has some arrows but i just can't figure it out. If someone could give me the step by step of it or at least point me towards a manual or guidebook either would be great. Thanks!  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop! Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-07-2010 06:06 PM                     Film in blue, media pads in red. As the film spins the large wheel, the media pads are slowly advanced.  |  IP: Logged Zack Strickland Film Handler Posts: 23 From: Dallas, GA, USA Registered: Nov 2009 posted 03-07-2010 07:18 PM                     Wonderful image sir, it's running right now on a print. Everything looks good but the media pads don't look like they're advancing. Does it take a while to advance?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Are you running them with Filmguard or running them dry? If dry, only use them once. If you're using Filmguard then go crazy.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-07-2010 10:09 PM                        Be sure to tighten the thumbscrews or they will not advance.  |  IP: Logged
