MONTHLY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
1.
Drain solutions from trays (Figure 30). Remove and rinse the Solution Trays thor-
oughly
with warm water. Wipe clean with a sponge or cloth. Replace drain plugs.
2.
With the processor in the process mode, apply three (3) drops of oil from the supplied
oiler to each hole on the left side (drive side) of the Main Frame marked "OIL" (Figure
31).
3.
Clean both Transport Modules in the same way as with the weekly cleaning with the
exception of air drying. Instead, dissolve in hot water, one package of
DENT-X
EasyClean
in each of the rubber tubs provided with the machine. Place a Transport
Module in each of the tubs and
make sure that the water covers all of the
rollers. Allow
to soak at least 8 hours (or until the start of the next working day).
Rinse thoroughly and
place back into the machine.
NOTE: It is OK to soak the transports over a weekend once a month as an
excep-
tion to the normal rule of air drying.
4.
Remove the Washer/Dryer (if more intensive cleaning is necessary) by first removing
the Evaporator Plate for the fixer. Then remove the front, top and rear baffles. Slide
the
Heater/Fan Assembly out of the module and set aside. Put the machine into
the pro-
cess mode and turn the Main Power Switch OFF when the drive shaft
tongue at the left
of the module is vertical in the groove of the main drive coupling
(Figure 32).
5.
Turn off the main water supply valve.
Uncouple the water line hose from the
Washer/
Dryer Module (Figure 33).
6.
Lift the Washer/Dryer Module out from the Control Module side first (Figure 34).
7.
Fill a wash pan or sink with warm water. Using a nylon bristle brush, thoroughly clean
all
rollers. If the silver, salt or emulsion deposits are heavy, the module may be
cleaned
with EasyClean in exactly the same way as a Transport Module. The only
difference is
that a container just big enough to allow water to cover all of the
rollers is needed. Also,
since the volume of water required is larger, 2 to 3
packages of EasyClean should be
used.
8.
Rinse the module thoroughly under running water.
9.
Replace the module starting with the side opposite the Control Module.
10.
Reconnect the water line hose coupling to the Washer/Dryer Module.
11.
Slide the Heater/Fan Assembly back into the Washer/Dryer Module. Reconnect the line
plug to the rear of the Control Module.
12.
Replace the baffles.
