5.3.2. Tape Cleaner Cleaning: The tape cleaner removes
loose tape oxide and other foreign material from the tape
before it contacts the head. This foreign material accumu-
lates in and around the tape cleaner and must be removed to
ensure that the tape cleaner continues to work effectively.
The tape cleaner should be cleaned on the same schedule as
the head.
To clean, insert a folded sheet of paper into the bottom of
the cleaning slot of the cleaner. Slide the paper up, lift-
ing the foreign material from the cleaner. Compressed air
or a soft brush can be used to remove the foreign material
from the area around the tape cleaner and head assembly.
Alternatively, the tape cleaner can be cleaned using the
same materials used to clean the magnetic head.
CAUTION
Do not use hard-objects to clean the tape cleaner.
If the tape cleaner becomes chip~ed, it will
scratch the tape surface, resul ting in lost dclta
and/or permanent tape damage.
5.3.3. Motor Capstan Cleaning: The drive capstan is com-
posed of hard polyurethane and_must be cleaned after foreign
material has built up. Clean, using isopropyl alcohol and a
soft cotton swab. The cleaning schedule 1s the same as for
the head.
Do not allow cleaning solvent to contaminate the
drive motor bearings.
