For more effective cleaning and lubrication, follow the directions outlined below:
1. Required tools: #1 Philips screwdriver and a pair of clean hands.
2. Disconnect the power.
3. Remove the fader caps by pulling them away from the Lexan faceplate.
4. Remove the four 4-40 screws attaching the Lexan faceplate.
5. Remove the Lexan faceplate. The fader rails are now accessible for normal cleaning and lubrication.
6. If more thorough cleaning is required, or the fader needs replacing, remove the fader by removing the two #4 screws securing it.
7.
NOTE:
Do not disturb the position of the small sensors at each end of the Fader
. If you do, make sure the parts are standing straight
before reinstalling.
8.
NOTE
: To achieve the highest possible accuracy,
each magnetic fader is factory calibrated
for the location in which it was shipped. If
you remove all the faders for cleaning,
make sure you mark them
. This helps you to put them back in the correct location.
9. Disconnect the ribbon cable, noting the orientation of the red stripe.
10. Sugary liquids spilled into a fader may be removed by thoroughly rinsing the part in hot water. Removal of grease or other stub-
born debris may require alcohol or contact cleaner.
11. Make sure the part is clean and dry before lubricating or reinstalling.
12. To reassemble, reverse the disassembly procedure.
