2. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is done by periodically performing suitable maintenance servicing in order to maintain the best
condition, so that the user can use the equipment safely. Video equipment with mounted mechanisms have parts
which will wear, and their wear and deterioration cause troubles. Dust and dirt also can impair stable operation. For
this reason it is important not to just perform repair at the time of trouble, but also to perform suitable maintenance
at regular intervals.
The maintenance schedule requires replacement of mechanism unit, which contains a cylinder unit and so on.
