Weekly/monthly maintenance
The GERBER SOLARA UV2 requires very little routine maintenance. This section describes the
recommended weekly and monthly maintenance.
Cleaning the outside of the GERBER SOLARA UV2
As needed, the covers of the GERBER SOLARA UV2 can be wiped down with a soft lint-free
cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
CAUTION: Do not use glass cleaner on the smoked front cover as it causes the
cover to craze.
Cleaning the grit wheels
Every week the grit wheels should be cleaned with a brass brush included in the accessory kit to
remove any debris that may have lodged in them.
Cleaning the exhaust fans
There are three exhaust fans located on the back cover of the GERBER SOLARA UV2. Once a
month, when the printer is turned off and disconnected from the power source, vacuum them
or clean them with a clean lint-free cloth to remove any accumulated dust or debris.
Cleaning the platen
Occasionally examine the platen for a build-up of cured ink. Carefully remove the ink build-up
with a straight-edge razor blade.
Cleaning the material bumpers
Occasionally clean the rounded front and rear material bumpers to avoid buildup of adhesive
or other residual residue that can be left behind by some materials. It is important to keep the
bumpers clean so the material feed (especially for vinyl) is not hindered.
