2-2. Lubricating Method
When lubrication is carried out in assembly and disassembly, wash parts well to remove dust and dirt before lubrication.
Lubrication must be carried out regularly once every 6 months or after 1 million lines have been printed. Lubrication is
necessary irrespective of the regular lubrication whenever lubricant becomes deficient after cleaning or whenever parts
have been disassembled or replaced.
