1. As a rule, perform scheduled servicing work every 250,000 pages.
2. Before setting out for a scheduled visit, check with the Service Book, and take parts that are likely to need replacement.
3. Whenever you have cleaned a charging wire, make sure it is completely dry before mounting it back to the machine.
4. If the power plug is left connected for a long time in an area subject to excessive dust, umidity, or smoke (containing oil vapor), an insulation
fault and, ultimately, a fire can occur (owing to the build-up of moist dust).
Be sure to disconnect the power plug on a periodical basis, and wipe the area and the power plug clean with a dry cloth.
