MAINTENANCE
Your AMERGRAPH AdVantage
®
SCREEN EXPOSURE SCREEN SYSTEM has been
designed to require a minimum of maintenance. Like all mechanical equipment, periodic
maintenance will prolong the life of the unit. The glass and the vacuum blanket are of
particular importance.
The GLASS should be kept clean using any commercial non-abrasive glass cleaner. Dust
particles, emulsions, or threads from screens will cause spots of unexposed areas on your
screen.
The BLANKET should be kept clean of dust by periodic vacuuming. The rubber seal
should be cleaned with blanket wash. An occasional application of rubber roller rejuvenator
will keep the seal pliable.
The VACUUM PUMP is oil-less and requires no service.
The REFLECTOR is made of a special material that reflects ultra violet light. It is therefore
important that it be kept clean. A dirty reflector will cause longer exposures and uneven
distribution of light across the vacuum frame.
CAUTION: Be certain to disconnect power to the unit before cleaning the reflector to
prevent an electrical shock from the terminals on the ends of the lamp.
Use a non-abrasive glass cleaner to clean the reflector. CAUTION: DO NOT SPRAY THE
CLEANER ON THE LAMP. Spray the cleaner on a cloth first and then apply it to the
reflector.
The EXPOSURE LAMP in your machine is designed to give you several thousand
ignitions. However, lamps are unpredictable in life expectancy, and as a result, may cease
when least expected. It is, therefore, recommended that a spare lamp be kept on hand at all
times to prevent any inconvenience when a lamp requires replacement. You can purchase
an authentic Amergraph spare lamp from your authorized Amergraph dealer.
