2.5.2 Carriage Shaft 1. Normally the Carriage Shaft does not need lubrication. However if the unit has been operation in a severe environment the Carriage Shaft may need lubrication. 2. To lubricate, move the Carriage to the center of the Carriage Shaft, see User Manual for procedure to release the Carriage.
3 Parts Replacement Always disconnect the power cable before starting any parts replacement. Use antistatic protective equipment such as wrist straps WARNING when handling electronic assemblies. Read the MSDS sheet before handling inks and cleaning solution. Avoid skin contact with cleaning solution and inks. Wear protective goggles to protect eyes from ink and cleaning solution.
Printhead. If there are persistent problems with ink flow the Dampers and Tubes should be inspected and replaced as required. There are eight Dampers and Tubes in the printer, one for each ink channel. See Photo 3.2.1-1 FILTER Photo 3.2.1-1 3.2.1.1 Damper Disassembly 1.

Photo 3.2.1.1-3 7. Also inspect the Damper for evidence of caked pigment in the area behind the Damper Diaphragm. 8. Further inspect the filter for clogging. See Photo 3.2.1.1-4 Damper Diaphragm Photo 3.2.1.1-4 9. Replace the Damper if any of these condition exists.
3.2.1.2 Damper Replacement The O-rings should never be fitted on the ink supply tubes with bare hands. Doing so may CAUTION cause the O-rings to deteriorate, which will result in ink leaking and air bubbles getting mixed into the ink. Wear latex or nitrile gloves while handling the O-rings.
Photo 3.2.1.3-46 3.2.1.5 Ink Tube Replacement Replacement Ink Tubes may be supplied with or without Dampers attached. If Dampers are not attached, follow the steps in 3.2.1.2 and then do the following: 1. Install an O-ring by moistening it with cleaning solution and press the end of the tube through the O-ring.
3. Reassemble the new Ink Chip Holder ink chipICH module by reversing the above steps. Insure that the Ink Chip Holder is seated in front of the ridge at the bottom of the Carriage and against the contacts at the front of the Carriage. 3.2.3 Wiper Blade Formatted: Not Highlight If the Wiper Blade appears damaged replacement may be required.
4. Repeat for the other central notch, releasing the other retaining tab. The Wiper Blade should now be free to lift out of the housing. The Wiper Blade housing is very fragile; do not pull on the Wiper Blade with excessive force. 5.
