EAD CLEANING
While GX Heads do not require a great deal of cleaning, if old tape
which has been spliced, etc. is used, head cleaning is recommended.
It is especially important that the heads be clean prior to recording.
Remove head cover and clean the heads with a cotton swab stick
which has been dipped in Akai Cleaning Fluid (from Head Cleaning
Kit HC-500). Also clean the pinch roller, capstan shaft, and tape
guides, etc. over which the tape travels.
*
|f Akai Cleaning Fluid is not available, use alcohol. Do not use
other chemical cleaners as the rubber parts will deteriorate.
HEAD DEMAGNETIZING
Avoid
switching
the demagnetizer
on and off near the head
block area or VU Meters.
Do not use magnetized tools in the vicinity of the heads.
