DEMAGNETIZATION: Metal parts in contact with the tape (except erase
head) will become magnetized after long periods of use. Magnetization
of record/playback heads causes noise in recording and reproduction.
Heads should be demagnetized at every 50 hours of use, and before any
important recording is done. Refer to Operating Instructions.

LUBRICATION: Under normal conditions the unit will not require
lubrication. Most of the bearings and bushings are of the oil less
type. Since there are many rubber parts in the transport mechanism,
excessive or improper lubrication could cause problems. If lubri-
cation is required, the following points should be lubricated;
Capstan bushing, pinch roller shaft -............ 1 drop
Capstan motor .... .-204 drops in the plastic tubes
NOTE: The reel motor and impedance roller assembly are permanently
lubricated sealed ball bearing and require no lubrication.
Capstan motors should be lubricated immediately after use while still
warm. After oiling motors keep the unit in the vertical position for
23 hours to allow thorough absorption of oil.
CLEANING: If excess oxide accumulates on the surface of tape path
components, normal operation and characteristics cannot be expected.
Periodic cleaning should be done with proper cleaning materials.
Refer to Operating Instructions.
