Moving the Cleaning Blade
Slide 63
To send the machine from the factory, the blade is away from the drum.
After Drum Set Mode, move the blade until it touches the drum (move the lever
right), where it will stay during standard operation.
The first time that the drum turns, the layer applied during Drum Set Mode will be
cleaned off. This layer will lubricate the edge of the cleaning blade, and this
makes sure that the blade will not bend in the wrong direction when the drum
turns.
If you move the machine a short distance within the same room, it is not
necessary to move the cleaning blade back to the transportation position. But,
after installation, if you move it a long distance (for example, between a
warehouse and the customer location), move the blade to the transportation
position.
Move the cleaning
blade lever to the
right (the blade
moves into contact
with the drum).
When the drum
turns, the coating
applied during
Drum Set Mode will
be removed, and
this will lubricate
the tip of the
cleaning blade.
