Warning: Do not use cleaner solutions which contain lubricants. Lubricants leave
dirt on the tape head and cause the performance to go down.
Do not use standard hub cleaners or strong alcohol solutions (>20%). These solu-
tions will damage the guides and rollers in the tape path and the tape head.
Do not use spray cleaners. The spray is difficult to control and often contains metal
particles that damage the tape head.
Do not use soap and water on the tape path. Soap leaves a thick film, and water
may damage electronic parts.
Discard the cloths and swabs after use. Although they appear clean, they are con-
taminated.
Do not use normal tissues. Although they may seem effective, they leave abrasive
lint in the tape path.
When cleaning is complete, dry all tape path components. Do not load a tape when
there is moisture in the tape path.
