7. MAINTENANCE
NOTE! – Only qualified service personnel are to perform maintenance
tasks.
NOTE! – Never use hard or sharp objects to scrape ionization points.
CAUTION! – ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
De-energize all power supplies before performing any maintenance tasks.
CAUTION! – FIRE HAZARD
Never energize a power supply with any trace of alcohol remaining on the equipment.
Dust or dirt around the ionization points will reduce the effectiveness of the static
bar. The ionization points must be cleaned periodically to prevent deposits from
accumulating:
1. De-energize all power supplies before performing any maintenance tasks.
2. Use dry compressed air to remove loose particulate from the static bar. If it is
very dirty, it may be necessary to remove the static bar from its mounting and
turn it upside-down while using compressed air to clean. A soft brush with
plastic bristles may be used as well.
3. Press a soft pencil eraser onto each point and gently twist to remove any buildup
from the ionization points.
4. Wipe ionization points with isopropyl alcohol applied to a clean dry cloth to
remove ink or resistant coatings.
NOTE! – The alcohol must not contain additives.
NOTE! – Do not pour alcohol directly onto the bars, and do not soak the
static bar or any of its components in alcohol.
CAUTION! – FIRE HAZARD
Ensure all traces of alcohol have been removed and the static bar is completely
dry before energizing the power supply.
