3. C Section 6 Service Cleaning and Storage Section 6 Service Cleaning and Storage Regular cleaning of the Green Dragon is the most important maintenance function During each operational cycle a small amount of potassium permanganate powder and glycol can leak out of the punctured hole in the sphere and be deposited in the launcher Over the course of thousands of eggs this can build up and cause feeding problems between the hopper and launcher Daily and weekly cleaning routines need to be performed to keep the launcher operating reliably The recommended cleaners are citrus based solvents such as Simple Green all purpose cleaner These cleaners do not contain any oils which can cause dust and debris to accumulate in the moving parts of the launcher All of the bearing surfaces in the launcher are made from self lubricating materials There is no need to lubricate them Daily Cleaning Routine e Loosen the slide locking knob and slide the launcher to the right e Remove the hopper outlet tube e Spray the inside of the outlet tube with cleaner and wipe it as clean as possible This is the most critical part in the dispenser to be kept clean e Pull the barrel outward and spray cleaner into the side port of the receiver Wipe out as much of the receiver and barrel as is accessible e Wipe the needle shuttle and shuttle guides e Inspect the injection needle to ensure that it is sharp and straight e Wipe up any glycol whi
