The Odyssey line of printing presses does not require much maintenance, but periodic lubrication and
cleaning will ensure smooth operation and extended life of the components. Wipe the press daily to remove
spray adhesive and lint. Do not let the spray adhesive and lint accumulate.

Troubleshooting
If there are issues turning any of the knobs or micro adjusters, check to see that they are not gummed up
with spray adhesive or ink. If the carousel becomes stiff or too easy to rotate, check to see that the top
tension nut is not too tight or loose because it will determine if the tapered bearings need grease. Take off
the jam nut to reach the resistant nut.
To clean the press, avoid using alcohol based solvents. Oil based paint thinner is better because it won't cut
and dry out the grease.
Cleaning
To lubricate, use spray lithium grease. Unscrew the (B) micro lock down knobs that attach the micro
adjusters to the micro plate. Raise the head and spray the lithium in between the top of the head and the
internal black cartridge. While doing so, work the micro knobs to work the grease and check for smooth
movement of assembly.
To lubricate the micros, back off the adjusters so most of the thread shows, apply a small dab of grease and
work into the threads. Then screw down to reveal the other side and then repeat for the other side. After
all of this, re-center the micros.
