SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
This section includes instructions for routine cleaning and lubrication,
fuse replacement, and adjustments to keep the GS15
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 holders and a
clean, dry cotton swab in the bore.
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.
