APPENDIX ONE - PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaners on this machine.
Never use compressed air to clean dirt or chips from the machine. Air pres-
sure could force dirt particles and other foreign material past seals and wip-
ers.
Maintaining a clean machine is part of any good maintenance program. Machines should be
periodically wiped with lint-free cloths soaked with a good grade of petroleum-based grease solvent.
If the machine is operated in an atmosphere that causes surfaces to rust quickly, wipe these surfaces
with a lint-free cloth soaked in mineral oil.
The following maintenance times are approximate and components may need attention more
frequently if excessive environmental pollution is present. Preventive maintenance frequency is for
single shifts and should be increased proportionally when work is for two or three shifts per day.
