SECTION 4. CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
A. GENERAL
Although the printer is adjusted and lubricated
when manufactured, 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 conditions, this will be
no more than twice a year.
B. CLEANING.
1. Remove cover and detach printer from
meter register per Section 3.
2. Flush printing wheels, reset gears, and ail
drive gears with cleaning solvent. Blow out
surplus solvent with compressed air and
lubricate unit.
3. If printing wheels are extremely dirty, a small
brush may be used to scrub the figures.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A WIRE BRUSH.
C. RECOMMENDED LUBRICATION.
Note: Chemlube and Vischem products are
manufactured by Ultrachem Inc.
Oil: Chemlube 201 or equivalent with a
temperature range of -650 to +275°F (-540 to +
135°C).
Grease: Vischem 352 or equivalent with a
temperature range of -650 to +3aO°F ( -540 to
+ 149°C).
Note: 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 oxidize or dry
out leaving a gummy or perceptible residue.
If the Chemlube oil lubricant is not available, a
substitute with equivalent properties may be
used. To assist field people in obtaining
suitable lubricants for the printers, the following
list showing equivalent lubricants has been
prepared:
