7.0 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
7.1 External Cleaning
Make sure you disconnect the shredder from its power source before cleaning.
The cover and cabinet may be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with a mild
detergent and warm water. Do not use chemical cleaners or solvents as these
may have a harmful effect. Use detergent sparingly to avoid contact with
electronic components.
7.2 Inspection
Whenever the cover has been
removed for corrective maintenance,
visually inspect for defects such as
loose screws or nuts, damaged wire
insulation, loose terminals, etc.
Correct any defects before returning
the shredder into service.
7.3 Lubrication
The 5160x should be lubricated
whenever a decrease in sheet
capacity is noticed. Use a lubricant
such as E-Z-1 oil (P/N 1961508)
which does not attract dust.
Following the steps below will help
the 5160X maintain maximum sheet
capacity and efficiency.
METHOD A
1. With the shredder off, spray a
steady stream of lubricant into
the throat area from side to side.
2. Run the shredder in both
directions for a few seconds; this
will help distribute the lubricant
throughout the cutters.
METHOD B
1. Spray an ”S” pattern of
lubricant across scrap sheets
of paper.
2. Turn the shredder on, shred the
lubricated sheets.
3. When shredding is complete,
reverse the shredder direction to
help distribute the lubricant
throughout the cutters.
4. Repeat these three steps until
shredder capacity is restored.
No periodic lubrication of the cutter
gears is required. However, when
gears are replaced they should be
lubricated with a good quality gear
lubricant.
