Lubricating the Grit Roller Ground Clips/Springs
NOTE: The Ground Clips and Thrust Springs provide a path for static energy to discharge from the Grit
Rollers to earth-ground. They must be periodically lubricated with a conductive grease to reduce spring
wear and provide a good earth-ground connection.
Two Ground Clips and Thrust Springs are located on the right side (non-operator side) of the Print Engine,
at the ends of the first two Grit Roller Shafts (shafts nearest the entry end of Print Engine).
1. Use a small, flathead screwdriver to remove the e-clip, washer
and spring from the end of the shaft(s).
2. Use a foam swab to apply a thin film of conductive grease
(Loctite 38650 or equivalent) to the washers, ground clips and
to the ends of the Thrust Springs.
3. Reinstall the washers, spring and e-clip on the Roller Shafts..
