Preventive Care
Cleaning Feed Belts
To clean feed belts:
1. Turn Off feeder and remove power cord from outlet.
2. Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a soft cloth.
3. Use your thumb or finger on the drive belt or one of the feed
rollers to manually move feed belts. Start with one belt at a
time (there are five total). See Figure 42.
4. Carefully press the moistened area of the cloth to the belt. As
you move the belt, use moderate pressure to wipe across the
belt, making sure to wipe in direction of grooves also. After
several rotations of the belt, repeat for each belt.
5. Taking a dry portion of the cloth, go back to the first feed belt
cleaned and use moderate pressure against the belt for several
revolutions to ensure the belt is dried. Repeat for each belt.
6. Restore power.
!
Use only isopropyl alcohol (98% concentration).
Other solvents can cause belts to wear
prematurely, and even cause total breakdown of
material.
