PREVENTIVE CHECKS AND SERVICE INTERVALS
CLEANING
NOTE
After cleaning the heads with isopropyl alcohol, do not
run a tape until the heads dry completely. If the heads
are not completely dry and alcohol gets on the tape,
damage may occur.
1. AUDIO CONTROL HEAD
Wrap a piece of chamois around your finger. Dip it in
isopropyl alcohol and clean the audio control head by
wiping it horizontally. Clean the full erase head in the
same manner. (Refer to the figure below.)

isopropyl alcohol. Hold it to the cylinder head softly.
Turn the cylinder head counterclockwise to clean it (in
the direction of the arrow). (Refer to the figure below.)
NOTE
Do not exert force against the cylinder head. Do not move
the chamois upward or downward on the head.
