4. CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
4.1 GENERAL
Although the printer, when manufactured, is adjusted and lubricated, it does require periodic cleaning
and lubrication to give maximum service. Judgement of the intervals at which the printer requires such
service must necessarily be left to individual users, due to varying conditions of service. Under normal
circumstances, this will be no more than twice a year, or after each 100,000 units of measure
delivered.
4.2 CLEANING
a. Remove cover and case-assembly and detach printer from meter-register per Section 3.
b. Flush printing wheels, reset gears, and all drive gears with cleaning solvent. Blow out surplus
solvent with compressed air and lubricate unit.
c. If printing wheels are extremely dirty, a small brush may be used to scrub the figures.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A WIRE BRUSH.
4.3 RECOMMENDED LUBRICATION
OIL :
Anderol L-401-D or equivalent (Temperature range -60
C to +253
C).
GREASE : Anderol L-795 or equivalent (Temperature range -54
C to +145
C).
All lubricants used in the printer must be of a type which remains fluid over the full
temperature range to which the printer will be subjected. Also they should not oxidise or
dry out, leaving a gummy or perceptible residue
