2.6.2 Cleaning the rod and lubricating the carriage bushings
The print carriage bushings are factory lubricated and should not normally require further maintenance.
However, in a dusty environment, you should have to clean the print carriage rod periodically.
Also, whenever the print carriage rod is found sticky or dirty, you have to clean it.
The procedure for cleaning and lubricating is explained below:
1. Power off the recorder.
2. Clean the rod with a dry, lint free cotton cloth.
3. Move the carriage to the center of the rod.
4. Apply a thin ring of grease around the rod, at each side of the carriage (as shown above).
5. Move the carriage from right to left four or five times.
6. Wipe off any excess grease from the rod with a dry, lint free cotton cloth.
! CAUTION
Never use any solvent to clean the rod.
Please, use only lubricant "Dow Corning white EP grease or equivalent" which may be ordered as
part number: "Lubricant kit 46210096-501".
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in product damage
NOTE:
The color ribbon axis (50 mm long), which keeps maintained the color ribbon, must be cleaned with a dry
cotton cloth each time you replace the color ribbon.
