9. SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
9-1 CLEANING:
TEAC TZ-261A for Head cleaning and TZ-261B for Rubber
cleaning should be used. Use for following places.
TZ-261A
Motor pulley
Heads, Brake drums
Capstan shaft
Tape run guides
TZ-261B
Pinch roller rubber
Capstan belt
Counter belt
9-2 LUBRICATION:
Under normal operating conditions, lubrication is required
only once each year. Before lubricating, clean the drive belt
and drive pulley... etc. Operate the deck for 30 minutes to
1 hour immediately prior to oiling. After oiling, keep the
deck in the upright position for 3 to 4 hours to allow
thorough absorption of the oil.
Approximately once each year or after 2000 hours of use,
apply TEAC TZ-255 Lubricating Oil to the following
places only;
— Pinch roller shaft ............. 0000008. 1 drop
-~ Capstan shaft... 2.2... . ee ee eee 2 drops
(Remove the dust cap for access to the oil pit)
— Capstan motor and Reel Motors (A-2300SR only) 0.5 cc
(Maximum to fill oiling tube)
NOTE: Apply 3 or 4 drops at a time through the oiling
tube. The oil level can be seen to drop as the felt
material in the motor bearings absorb oil. When
the level ceases to drop, no more oil is needed. Do
not attempt to force oil into the motor nor ex-
ceed the maximum.
Excessive oiling will scatter oil inside the deck.
This oil will cause drive belt slippage and other
difficulties. Check for slippage and clean all parts
inside the deck before operating after lubrication.
Check for oil emission after operation and before
returning deck to the customer.

9-4 DEMAGNETIZATION OF HEADS
If the Record or.Playback heads become magnetized, noise
will increase and tonal fidelity will deteriorate. For this
reason it is advisable to use non-magnetic tools when work-
ing near the heads. If the heads have had any contact with
current cartying or magnetized metal parts, demagnetize
them with a TEAC E-3 eraser or Equivalent.
