4. Maintenance of Circulation System
  4.1 General Structure of Circulation System
4.1.1 The general structure of the circulation system is shown in the following 
figure.  Using  an  open/close  type  door  (unit  door)  as  a  partition,  the 
system is roughly divided into an ink circulating area (the front side of 
the equipment) and a driving part area (the rear side of the equipment).
Caution:
Since the circulation unit is made of plastic, tightening the screws with excessive 
torque will break the unit. See the table below for reference torques:
