Maintenance Precautions - MIMAKI UJV100-160 Operation Manual

Chapter 4 Maintenance

4.1 Maintenance Precautions

• This product contains components that must be replaced periodically. We recommend
concluding a maintenance contract.
• Maintain this product and replace consumable items to prevent quality defects and accidents.
• Clean periodically. Debris and dust will accumulate on electrical components when this product
is used for extended periods. Current leaks may result in failure, electric shock, or fire.
• Do not clean by blowing—e.g., avoid using air blowers. Doing so may lead to failure, electric
shock, or fire involving the product if airborne debris or dust gets inside electrical components.
Wipe away debris or dust using a soft cloth soaked in water and thoroughly wrung out. A
vacuum cleaner may also be used for cleaning.
• Do not allow liquids to get inside the product. Ingress of liquids into the product may lead to
failure, electric shock, or fire.
• For heavy soiling, wipe using a soft cloth soaked in dilute detergent and thoroughly wrung out.
• Wear safety glasses, gloves, and a mask when handling ink, maintenance cleaning solution,
waste ink, or other solutions used with this machine. Leaking ink may adhere to the skin or get
into your eyes or mouth.
• Avoid touching the print nozzle surface. Do not allow water or alcohol to come into contact with
the print nozzle surface. Contact with water or alcohol may lead to failure or print defects (e.g.,
nozzle clogging, deflection).
• Avoid using cotton swabs to clean around the head or carriage. Fibers from cotton swabs may
adhere to the head nozzle surface and lead to print defects (e.g., nozzle clogging, deflection).
• Be careful to avoid splashing ink or washing liquid on the covers. Exposure to splashing ink or
washing liquid may damage or deform the cover.
• Avoid using chemical products containing benzene, thinner, or abrasives. Use of these
chemicals may result in damage to or deformation of parts.
• Do not move the carriage by hand. To move the carriage, use the carriage out function on the
menu.
