Chapter 4: Routine Maintenance; Clean The Drive Shaft; Clean The Platen And Traverse - Ioline CrystalPress User Manual

The Routine Maintenance chapter provides suggestions for
keeping the CrystalPress equipment working in top condition for
its entire service life. All of these processes are designed for the end
user to accomplish with no training. Advanced procedures are only
recommended for trained service personnel and not included here.
Contact Ioline Customer Service if additional service is required.

Clean the Drive Shaft

Check the Drive Shaft regularly. If debris has accumulated, remove as
described below:
1. Turn off the machine.
2. Gently remove any accumulated dust and residue with a stiff-
non-metal bristle brush (an old tooth brush works great).
Figure 35.

Clean the Platen and Traverse

Dust and fiber residue accumulate on the Platen and Traverse. Under
regular use, clean every month:
1. Turn off power to the machine.
2. Dampen a lint-free cloth with isopropyl (pharmacy) alcohol
and gently wipe the Traverse rails until accumulated residue is
removed. Pay special attention to the parts of the rail where the
Carriage wheels roll.
3. With the same cloth, wipe the Platen surface, especially where
the Transfer Sheet moves over it.
