Monthly Cleaning,

Systems cleaning will remove most, if not all, of the chemical residue from the transport
racks. For additional cleaning and inspection, proceed as outlined below:
A) Remove the rack from the tank.
B) Clean the developer and fix racks without disassembling them.
C) Appropriate Systems Cleaner may be used to remove stubborn deposits. Never use
“Scotchbrite” type pads on roller surfaces. Rinse the rack thoroughly after it has been
cleaned.
D) Inspect all rack end plates for wear. Be sure the rollers turn freely.
Bearing wear differs according to the solution in which the rack is used. Since bearings
tend to wear more quickly in the fixer solution, the fixer rack end plates should be checked
more frequently for wear.
Clean Tanks
Inspect the empty processing tank for foreign matter and, if necessary, use a soft scrub pad
or brush and warm water to clean the tank interior. Flush the tank with warm water and
drain.
Inspect Processor
Check the hose clamps on the developer, fixer and wash pumps and the base of each pump
for leaks. Secure as necessary.
Caution: Do not over-tighten clamps. This can cause leakage or damage to the pump
heads.
