6.3. Routine Maintenance
It is important that you keep your Model 72 clean and in good working order.
This will prolong the overall life of the Model 72 and result in longer periods of
“up” time. Failure to perform daily cleaning tasks may result in the voiding of
your service contract. Therefore, it is vitally important that you perform the
following tasks at least once per day:
• Dust or vacuum the exterior surfaces of the Model 72.
Accumulations of dirt and debris can cover sensors, preventing them from
working effectively, and hinder performance. Any non-flammable commer-
cially available cleaning solution may be used to clean the deck and sides.
When cleaning the Model 72, DO NOT USE aerosol cleaners or
compressed air because of the flammable nature of many of these
products. There is a risk of malfunction and/or injury associated with the
use of aerosol cleaners prior to the operation of the Model 72.
• Before carefully removing any chips or paper jammed in any of the cutters,
unplug the Model 72.
• Empty all Model 72 waste receptacles.
• When cleaning glass and plastic surfaces, use detergent-based cleaners
such as Fantastic™ or Formula 409™. Detergent-based cleaners are
recommended, because they do not cause component degradation.
WARNING
A cloth soaked with cleaning detergent or similar material should never be
used to clean an object such as a belt or roller when the belt or roller is being
driven by the system. Use of a cloth or similar material on moving
mechanisms can result in personal injury. If a belt, pulley or similar part needs
to be cleaned, it should be cleaned while stationary.
