1. Remove the shuttle cover assembly (page 141).
2. Remove the shuttle frame assembly (page 177).
3. Remove the paper ironer (page 160).
4. Moisten a clean, soft cloth with alcohol. Wipe the paper ironer to remove
lint, ink, and paper residue.
5. Install the paper ironer (page 160).
6. Remove the hammer bank / ribbon mask cover assembly (page 139).
7. Moisten a clean, soft cloth with alcohol. Wipe the hammer bank cover and
ribbon mask to remove lint, ink, and paper residue. Clean the holes in the
cover strips. Carefully wipe between the hammer bank cover and the
ribbon mask.
8. Using a stiff, non-metallic brush (such as a toothbrush), gently brush the
hammer tips to remove lint and ink accumulations. (See Figure 5.)
Vacuum up any residue.
Over time, the upper edge of the paper ironer can become sharp. To
avoid cutting yourself, handle the paper ironer on the sides.
Warning
The ribbon mask is thin and easily bent. Be careful not to crease or kink
the ribbon mask when handling and cleaning it.
Caution
Do not use any solvents or liquids to clean the hammer tips. Clean the
hammer tips gently—too much pressure can chip them.
