MAINTENANCE
THE PROJECTOR MECHANISM should periodically undergo a careful and thorough
inspection. A regular schedule of adjustments and replacement of wearing parts will insure long life, provide
reliable performance, and minimize downtime.
LUBRICATION
Drain and discard the projector oil after six months of initial operation, and at least annually thereafter.
Clean the oil pump intake filter and the oil reservoir. Replace with genuine Simplex Projector Oil (Part No.
52-00400 Quart; 52-00410 Half Gallon; 52-00420 Gallon) available from Strong International Dealers.
SPROCKETS
Clean sprocket teeth daily with a typewriter brush or used toothbrush (with softened bristles). Examine
each sprocket carefully for wear, undercutting (“hooks”), and/or looseness. Replace as required. Assum-
ing the projector is used for forward-running only, hooked sprockets can be re-used by reversing the sprocket on
its shaft. Check the alignment of the intermittent sprocket to the film trap.
PAD ROLLERS
Check pad rollers for grooves, flat spots, and/or looseness. Clean rollers and shafts thoroughly to relieve
binding; replace as required. Inspect alignment of pad rollers to sprockets; centered, flanges not rubbing,
spaced (2) film thicknesses above sprocket face.
FASTENING HARDWARE
Check all fasteners (screws, nuts) for tightness. Normal operating vibration over prolonged periods may
cause fasteners to loosen. Tighten as required.
FILM GATE
Remove all foreign matter (dirt, wax) by cleaning thoroughly. Examine film runners and straps for wear;
replace if required. Check gate opening and closing slide for smooth operation; clean linear bearing to relieve
binding. The gate mount is adjustable horizontally by means of slotted mounting holes; check periodically to
insure secure gate closure.
FILM TRAP
Examine the inboard spring-loaded studio guides for free motion. Clean carefully, adjust, or replace if
grooved. Remove all foreign material from tension straps. Inspect for wear; replace if required.
To remove the trap from the main frame, release the quarter-turn fastener securing the aperture motor
cover to the shutter guard. Loosen the slotted head of the trap mounting screw. This screw is captive, and
cannot be removed. When the trap mounting screw is loose, grasp the trap plate and withdraw the trap from the
film compartment. Carefully align the electrical pins before replacing the trap.
