Organic Cleaners - Ricoh BRG-P1w Field Service Manual

Organic Cleaners

• During cleaning never use any organic cleaners (alcohol, etc.) other than those described in the
service manual.
• Make sure the room is well ventilated before using any organic cleaner. Always use organic
solvents in small amounts to avoid breathing the fumes and becoming nauseous.
• Switch the machine off, unplug it, and allow it to cool before doing preventive maintenance.
• To avoid fire or explosion, never use an organic cleaner near any component that generates heat.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning parts with an organic cleaner to avoid contamination
of food, drinks, etc.
Power Plug and Power Cord
• Before servicing the machine (especially when responding to a service call), always make sure that
the power plug has been inserted completely into the power source. A partially inserted plug could
generate heat (due to a power surge caused by high resistance) and cause a fire or other
problems.
• Always check the power plug and make sure that it is free of dust and lint. Clean it if necessary. A
dirty plug can generate heat and cause a fire.
• Inspect the entire length of the power cord for cuts or other damage. Replace the power cord if
necessary. A frayed or otherwise damaged power cord can cause a short circuit which could lead
to a fire or personal injury from electrical shock.
• Check the length of the power cord between the machine and power supply. Make sure the power
cord is not coiled or wrapped around any object such as a table leg. Coiling the power cord can
cause excessive heat to build up and could cause a fire.
• Make sure that the area around the power source is free of obstacles so the power cord can be
removed quickly in case of an emergency.
• Make sure that the power cord is grounded (earthed) at the power source with the ground wire on
the plug.
• Connect the power cord directly into the power source. Never use an extension cord.
• When you disconnect the power plug from the power source, always pull the plug, not the cable.
