1.6. Minimum maintenance
In order to make this machine as user-friendly as possible the maintenance work is reduced to an absolute
minimum. Apart from the moving parts (i.e. the belt system) and some optical components (especially
windows) that have to be cleaned and checked regularly, the GENIUS needs very little maintenance. The
electrical components are virtually failure proof and a diagnostics system monitors the integrated circuits
at all times. Alarm messages will appear on the touchscreen whenever anything is out of order.
