− | ===Reading The Brew Gauge===
| |
− |
| |
− | The brew pressure gauge is only meaningful when the machine is actively brewing. While the machine is standing by the gauge may move around, sit at zero, or show the the circuit is pressurized; this does not mean anything. This gauge is only accurate while the brew circuit is activated during brewing. A simple test of the machine's brew pressure can be completed by using the backflush disc.
| |
− | #Insert the backflush disc into the portafilter and attach it to the machine.
| |
− | #Activate the brew function. The gauge will fall to zero, and then begin pressurizing.
| |
− | #After about 10-15 seconds the pressure should read 8-11 Bar pressure. If your machine does this then there is nothing wrong with the brew function or brew gauge, the machine is operating to spec.

− | |lever_style = Lever
| |
− | |lever_leak_instr = A blowout of the lever assembly can be seen on p.13 of the machine's parts diagram. The o-rings that will need to be checked are listed as part 9 and part 8 on this page.
| |
− | ###To access these o-rings remove the end cap of the lever assembly using a flathead screwdriver.
| |
− | ###Once this is removed the other components of the grouphead assembly can begin to be slipped off. The bolts that the lever slides into can be removed with open ended wrenches or an adjustable wrench.
| |
− | ###Inspect the o-rings and make sure they are not damaged. It's possible that they are just dirty and need to be cleaned off and reseated. If they are damaged, broken, or shows signs of chaffing then they will need to be replaced.
| |
− | ###Inspect the valve components well to make sure they are intact.
| |
− | ###Reassemble the components and see if leaking is resolved.
| |
− | |top_valve_leak_instr = A blowout of the top valve assembly, known as the mushroom or trumpet valve, can be found on p.13 of the machine's parts diagram. There are a few components which can be contributing to the leaking. There are two o-rings, listed as parts 1 and 4 on this page of the diagram. There is also a valve assembly shown as assembly 6 on the same page.
| |
− | ###To access these parts use an open ended wrench or adjustable wrench to remove the smaller top bolt of the E-61. This will give you access to the first o-ring and spring assembly.
| |
− | ###To access further down into this part of the grouphead use a wrench to remove the large bolt. This will let you access the other o-ring, another spring assembly, and the other valve assembly.
| |
− | ###Inspect all of these components for integrity. Clean any dirty parts and replace any broken parts.
| |
− | ###Reassemble the grouphead and see if the leaking is resolved.
| |
− | |bottom_valve_leak_instr = A blowout of the bottom valve assembly, known as the release valve, can be found on p.13 of the machine's parts diagram. There are two o-rings in this assembly, listed as parts 4 and 14 on the diagram, and two valve assemblies, listed as assembliess 10 and 12 on the diagram, that can be causing the leak.
| |
− | ###To access these parts use an open ended wrench or adjustable wrench to remove the smaller bottom bolt. You will be able to access part 14, the o-ring, and assembly 12, one of the valve assemblies. Inspect the parts. If they are dirty clean them off, if they are broken replace them.
| |
− | ###To access the next o-ring and valve assembly use a wrench to remove the larger of the bolts. Again, inspect the parts for cleanliness and damage. Clean or replace as needed.
| |
− | ###Reassemble the release valve and test to see if the leaking is resolved.
| |
− | |E61_group_cleaning_instr = Instructions for cleaning the entire E-61 can be found by clicking [http://coffeetimex.wikidot.com/e61-group-servicing here].
| |
− | |E61_attach_instr = There are two possible reasons for the machine to be leaking from here.
| |
− | ##The first is that one of the plumb lines connected to the back of the E-61 is not secure resulting in a leak. This will need to be tightened from the inside of the machine. You may see leaking from the bottom of the machine as well if this is the case. Remove the top of the machine and look towards the front of the machine. These lines will be located on the back of the faceplate, opposite to where the grouphead is seated. They are listed as parts 19 and 11 on p.9 of the machine's parts diagram. Use an open ended wrench or adjustable wrench to tighten these down. If the leaking persists you may need to apply white teflon plumbers tape or a sealing compound such as food safe permabond.
| |
− | ##The other possibility is that the E-61 group chassis gasket is not sealing tightly, or is worn out or damaged and will need to be replaced. The chassis gasket is listed as part 20 on p.13 of the parts diagram. There are two bolts which secure the E-61 to the machine chassis, causing it to press on the gasket and create a seal. First try tightening these two bolts down.[[File:EXPOBAR BREWTUS IV Securing Bolts.JPG|480px|thumbnail|center|E-61 Securing Bolts]] If tightening these bolts does not resolve the leak, then the chassis gasket will need to be replaced.

| |
− | ###Simply use a screwdriver to remove the screw on the knob assembly.
| |
− | ###Once this screw is removed then the knob will come off. Pull forward on the knob and it will slide off the steam valve cam shaft.
| |
− | ###Inspect both the screw and the knob to make sure they are not damaged or stripped. The knob should have a square shaped hole that matches the shape of the cam shaft. If this hole gets misshapen from over-tightening the steam or hot water knobs, it will spin on the shaft instead of closing it.
| |
− | ###While these parts are removed test to see if you can stop the leaking by manually tightening the cam shaft. A pair of pliers are adjustable wrench will provide sufficient grip to turn the shaft manually.
| |
− | |tip_instr = <br />
| |
− | ##The steam tip o-ring is easy to access. Simply remove the steam tip and there will be a small o-ring between the tip the wand arm. Inspect this o-ring for damage and clean it.
| |
− | ##The hot water tip is a little more complicated, but still easily accessed and cleaned.
| |
− | ###First unscrew the entire tip assembly from the wand arm. [[File:EXPOBAR BREWTUS IV Hot Water Tip Removed.jpg|200px|thumbnail|center|Hot Water With Tip Removed]]
| |
− | ###There will be an o-ring between the tip assembly and the wand arm. If the leaking was coming from here, then this o-ring needs to be cleaned and repositioned, or if it is damaged it will need to be replaced. [[File:EXPOBAR BREWTUS IV Hot Water O-ring.jpg|200px|thumbnail|center|The red arrow points to the described o-ring]]
| |
− | ###If the leaking was coming from farther down on the tip, then the tip will need to be disassembled further to troubleshoot. To disassemble the tip further simply twist the two halves of the tip assembly in opposite directions. [[File:EXPOBAR BREWTUS IV Hot Water Tip Disassembly.jpg|400px|thumbnail|center|Twist in the direction of the arrows shown.]]
| |
− | ###Once the tip is apart it will separate into four separate pieces. There will be three metal pieces and another o-ring. Inspect the o-ring for cleanliness and damage. The metal pieces can be soaked in a solution of hot water and backflushing powder to remove and scale buildup on them. [[File:EXPOBAR BREWTUS IV Hot Water Tip Blowout.jpg|400px|thumbnail|center|The disassembled hot water tip.]]

− | ===PID Displays 1.05 Continuously===
| |
− |
| |
− | When the machine starts the software version number, i.e. "1.05", will display on the PID. Sometimes this message will not clear. First try powering the machine on and off; powercycling the PID may clear the message. If the message still does not clear then there may be a loose wire. Open the machine and check all of the connections leading to the PID and make sure they are securely attached. Otherwise the PID will need to be replaced.

− | ==Rotary Pump Conversion==
| |
− | The vibration pump version of this machine can be converted to a vibration style. Purchasing the rotary pump version of the machine is highly suggested instead of purchasing a vibration pump version and then converting later on. Purchasing a unit with a rotary pump already installed will be cheaper than converting the unit. The pump is also quieter and pressurizes more evenly. The pump conversion involves a significant amount of work and part changing inside the machine, so it is highly suggested that the instructions for doing this conversion are fully understood before purchasing a conversion kit. A conversion is not suggested if you are not comfortable doing any aspect of the conversion. Instructions for doing the conversion are found below:[[File:EXPOBAR BREWTUS Rotary Pump Conversion.pdf|250px|thumbnail|center|Vibration To Rotary Pump Instructions]]
