Maintenance

and

Cleaning

Do

not

Take

Your

Machine

Apart

The

carriage

spring

and

the

whole

mechanism

of

the

HERMES

2000

are

regulated

at

the

works

so

as

to

give

complete

satisfaction

to

the

most

expert

typist.

No

further

adjustment

is

necessary.

We

advise

users

of

the

HERMES

2000

against

taking

their

machine

apart,

as

any

one

but

a

specialist

would

be

absolutely

unable

to

make

any

improvements

and

would

risk

unintentionally

upsetting

some

part

of

the

delicate

mechanism.

Our

guarantee

does

not

cover

any

machine

that

has

been

tampered

with.

Maintenance

and

Lubrication

When

making

erasures

take

care

to

shift

the

carriage

right

to

the

side

to

prevent

particles

of

rubber

from

falling

into

the

machine.

They

might

mix

with

the

oil

and

cause

fouling.

The

machine

should

not

be

oiled

too

frequently,

to

avoid

dust

sticking

to

the

oiled

parts.

Never

oil

the

typebars

nor

the

slots

in

which

they

move.

Have

your

machine

cleaned

at

least

once

a

year

by

a

Hermes

agent.

Cleaning

the

Types

To

clean

the

types

brush

them

with

the

brush

fitted

inside

the

case.

If

a

type

is

full

of

hardened

ink,

remove

this

with

the

brush

or

a

cloth

soaked

with

benzine.

Do

not

use

alcohol

as

it

might

cause

rust.

Cleaning

the

Platen

Only

alcohol

may

be

used

for

cleaning

the

rubber

platen.

Never

use

petroleum

or

benzine,

as

they

are

solvents

for

rubber.

Cleaning

the

Machine

There

is

a

special

brush

for

this

purpose

fitted

inside

the

case.

Brush

lightly

in

order

not

to

cause

breakage

of

springs

or

deforma-

tion

of

delicate

parts.

The

space

bar

and

platen

knobs

must

not

be

cleaned

with

an

organic

solvent

(petrol,

paraffin,

turpentine,

trichlorethylene,

alcohol,

etc.),

but

with

a

cloth

soaked

with

soapy

water.

Serial

Number

of

the

Machine

Every

HERMES

2000

is

marked

with

a

serial

number

engraved

at

the

rear

to

the

right.

This

number

should

be

mentioned

in

all

correspondence

dealing

with

your

typewriter.
