Teac A-3300SX - Servicing and Maintenance; Lubrication and Demagnetization

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
Pinch roller rubber | Motor pulley
Capstan belt Heads, Brake drums
Counter belt Capstan shaft
Tape run guides
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 .... 2... 0. cee eee eee 1 drop
— Capstan shaft. ... 2... cece ee eee 2 drops
(Remove the dust cap for access to the oil pit)
— Capstan motor ...... i Gbe aces weet Me Bey Gage e 4: Sy 0 Me 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 becomes 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 or magnetized metal parts, demagnetize them with
a TEAC E-3 eraser or Equivalent.
