MAINTENANCE
This section includes instructions for routine cleaning and
lubrication, fuse replacement, and adjustments to keep the GS750
plus
plotter in good working order.
Cleaning and Lubrication
Routine cleaning and lubrication should be done monthly or after
every 160 hours of use, whichever occurs first. Isopropyl alcohol
should be used to clean dirty parts.
Note: When alcohol is used, lubricate the parts immediately to
prevent corrosion.
Use a light oil such as 3-in-1
Oil for all lubrication, except as
noted.
TOOL HOLDERS AND CARRIAGE SPINDLE BORE
Note: The spindle bore should be cleaned daily.
CAUTION: Do not use oil to lubricate tool holders or spindle
bore.
There is a very close fit between the pen, knife and pounce wheel
holders and the carriage spindle bore. Any dirt or build-up in the
bore or on the tool holder restricts motion and can produce
inconsistent results.
1. Once a day clean the spindle bore and tool holders with
isopropyl alcohol using a clean, dry, lint-free cloth on the tool
holdersandaclean,drycottonswabinthebore.
2. Wipe the tool spindle with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Dust,
hair, silicon, and other debris can greatly affect tool
performance and letter quality.
