Routine Maintenance

It is important that you keep your machine clean and in good working order. This will prolong the
overall life of the machine and result in longer periods of "up" time. Therefore, you should perform
the following tasks at least once per day.
Cleaning Model DL400
1. Unplug the power cord
2. Remove the Nip Arm assembly
3. Remove and empty the Chip Bin
4. Vacuum loose paper chips and debris from the machine
5. Use a cloth moistened with liquid cleaner to wipe down the exterior of the machine.
◦ Use denatured alcohol on areas with stains, if necessary
◦ Any non-flammable commercially available cleaning solution may be used to clean the
machine. When cleaning the DL400, Do not use aerosol cleaners or compressed air
because of the flammable nature of many of these products. There is a risk of equipment
malfunction and/or injury associated with the use of aerosol cleaners on OPEX equipment
prior to the operation of equipment.
◦ When cleaning glass and plastic surfaces, use detergent-based cleaners such as
Fantastic™ or Formula 409™. Detergent-based cleaners are recommended, because they
do not cause component degradation.
◦ Wipe dust and debris from the sensors. Debris build-up can cause jams. Accumulations of
dirt and debris can cover sensors, preventing them from working effectively. This will hinder
machine performance.
6. Re-install the Chip Bin and Nip Arm assembly.
