MAGNETIC FADER MAINTENANCE
The faders and crossfader in the Sixty-One
are designed with materials highly resistant to
corrosion and most chemicals. While they will
handle millions of operations, they may become
dirty over time. Bad things may be spilled into
a fader, but in many instances the fader may
not be damaged and the sound quality thus
unaffected. Cleaning is only required to maintain
the feel of the fader.
The fader is self-lubricating and with normal
use, should not require additional lubrication. If
you wish, you can use a light silicone lubricant
rated for use with electrical parts. This will help
maintain the feel. We recommend Caig DeoxIT
FaderLube F100 spray lubricant.
Order DeoxIT® F100 from:

Never use a heavy lubricant or grease.
Doing so may not damage the faders, but can
affect the feel. If grease was used, it may be
removed by following the cleaning instructions.
Light lubrication is possible with the fader face
plate on. A couple of drops or a short spray will
do it. Make sure any product you use is suitable
for use with electrical parts that contain plastic.
FADER ASSEMBLy REMOVAL
1. Remove all three fader knobs.
2. Remove all six screws holding the fader panel
face plate.
3. Lift up the fader panel face plate and set it
aside where it can't get damaged.
4. Remove the two screws at each end of a fader,
holding the bottom of the fader in place with
your other hand.

5. Take out the fader assembly completely.
6. Note the left connector goes to the left fader,
the center connector goes to the crossfader,
and the right connector goes to the right fader.
7. Unplug the connectors of the white wires at
the fader assembly without pulling the wires.
Reverse this procedure to re-assemble.
• Plug in the connector before reinstalling the
fader. Note the connector only will fit one way.
• Test all the faders before installing the fader
panel face plate and fader knobs.
FADER CLEANING
1. Move the carrier all the way to one side.
2. Use a soft lint-free cloth to wipe off the rails.
3. Add a drop of silicone lubricant (or quick
spray from aerosol) to the center of each rail.
4. Move the carrier back and forth to distribute
lubricant.
5. Do not bend the torsion spring. Do not disturb
the position of the small sensors at each end
of the Fader. If you accidentally do, make
sure the parts are standing straight before
reinstalling.
6. CAUTION: Sugary liquids may damage the
crossfader beyond repair. You might be able
to save it by removing the crossfader and
thoroughly rinsing it in hot water. Make sure
the part is clean and dry before lubricating or
reinstalling.
7. Removal of grease or other stubborn debris
may require alcohol or contact cleaner. Make
sure the part is clean and dry before lubricating
or reinstalling.

FADER CALIBRATION
After cleaning or replacement, the sensors may
get moved, affecting the contour. After any fader
service, perform this procedure to re-calibrate
the faders and crossfader.
1. Power off the Sixty-One.
2. Move all faders to the center-most position.
3. Push down both PGM 1 and PGM 2 CUE buttons at
the same time.
4. While holding these buttons down, power on
the Sixty-One.
5. Immediately after fading up, the CUE lights
will flash one time, indicating a successful
calibration. If the CUE lights flash three times,
the sensors may have moved too far, or the
faders knobs may not have all been centered,
and the faders cannot correctly calibrate.
