MAINTENANCE
The Tech Director console requires no maintenance, other than keeping dust and liquids out of the
console. The console should be covered when not in use to prolong the service life of the slide pots.
Dirt and moisture are a slide pot’s worst enemies. A slide pot’s next worst enemy is the do-gooder who
sprays WD-40 into it. WD-40, volume control cleaners, tuner cleaners, and similar products dissolve the
lubricant inside the slide pot. This will shorten the life of the pot and make operation less smooth. Only
when a slide pot is so worn out that it must be replaced anyway should WD-40 or the like be used; in this
case spray cleaners may prolong the life long enough to order replacement slide pots.
