C'eanirrg the Typing Element
Typing Elements may be cleaned as re-
quired using IBM typewriter brushes.
Position the Element on the end of the
Dual Purpose Brush by inserting the
handle of the brush into the hole under
the element and then closing the element
release lever.
Clean type by brushing up and away from
you with the Element Brush provided for
this purpose.
Type cleaners in sheet form are also
recommended since they may be used
without removing the-typing element.
Just insert the sheet, move the Ribbon
Lever to stencil position, and type each
character at least once.
