Preventive maintenance
There is little preventative maintenance required on the machine other than routine cleaning and
inspection. There are no lubrication points. All bearing are sealed and/or permanently lubricated.
Every six months –
1. Remove the right side access panel.
2.
Visually inspect the condition and tightness of the disc drive belt. If the belt appears
excessively loose, you may adjust it by loosening the motor assembly mounting screws and
moving the motor assembly back. Adjust it so there is no slack. Since it is a toothed belt,
there is no need for additional tension. If the belt is appears worn, replace it.

3. Visually inspect the condition of the flags and flag linkages. If the hole in the white Nylon
bushing (bearing) on the flag pin appears excessively worn, replace the bushing
(bearing).The shape of the hole should be round. Oval shape of the hole indicates wear.
