Model 72 User Manual - OPEX Corporation
Routine Maintenance
It is important that you keep your machine clean and in good working order.
This will prolong the overall life of the machine and result in longer periods of
“up” time. Failure to perform daily cleaning tasks may result in the voiding of
your service contract. Therefore, it is vitally important that you perform the
following tasks at least once per day:
• Dust or vacuum the exterior surfaces of the machine.
Accumulations of dirt and debris can cover sensors, preventing them from
working effectively. This will hinder machine performance. Any non-
flammable commercially available cleaning solution may be used to clean
the sort bins and sides. When cleaning the OPEX Model 72, DO NOT USE
aerosol cleaners or compressed air because of the flammable nature of
many of these products. There is a risk of equipment malfunction and/or
injury associated with the use of aerosol cleaners on OPEX equipment prior
to the operation of equipment.
• Before carefully removing any chips or paper jammed in any of the cutters,
unplug the machine.
• Empty all machine waste receptacles.
• When cleaning glass and plastic surfaces, use detergent-based cleaners
such as Fantastic™ or Formula 409™. Detergent-based cleaners are
recommended, because they do not cause component degradation.
Warning: A cloth soaked with cleaning detergent or similar material should
never be used to clean an object such as a belt or roller when the belt or
roller is being driven by the system. Use of a cloth or similar material on
moving mechanisms can result in personal injury. If a belt, pulley or similar
part needs to be cleaned, it should be cleaned while stationary.
