4-9. LUBRICATION
Refer to Fig. 4-9.
Lubrication should be generally done at about every 1,000
hours of operating time of the tape deck. Use high quality
oil for this purpose.
For efficient oiling, it is recommended that lubrication be
done after nearly 1 hour of idling of the deck and while it
is still warm.
Normally, it is necessary to lubricate only the areas de-
scribed below.
1. Apply a drop of a light machine oil of good quality
(e.g.: TEAC TZ255) with an oil applicator to the shaft
of the Flywheel and spread oil evenly over the shaft
with a flannel cloth. After installing the Flywheel, be
sure to clean the tape moving portion of shaft with
TEAC TZ-261 A Head Cleaner or with pure alcohol.
2. Apply a drop of the proper oil in the same way as
above to the innermost area of capstan shaft (next to
the Flywheel).
3. Apply a film of light grease to the well of the Flywheel
Bearing.
