PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

To keep the Figure 4 Modular system in proper working order, it is necessary to perform certain procedures for preventative
maintenance. Some preventative maintenance procedures must be performed by a 3D Systems Field Service Engineer. The
following sections describe preventative-maintenance procedures that you can perform as the system operator.
CAUTION: Before performing any preventative-maintenance procedures, power the Printer down according to
the section Shut Down

7.1 Cleaning the Printer

The external and internal parts of the Printer should be cleaned according to the guidelines in the following sections. The list
below provides a quick overview:
1. As needed, clean the facility flooring/walls/surfaces around the Printer with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to ensure that any
material drips have been wiped up. For cleaning dust and other debris, use a small vacuum or other method that does not
kick up dust clouds.
2. As needed, clean the outside Printer frame, EXCEPT FOR THE UPPER-BUILD-CHAMBER DOOR, with IPA and a nonabrasive
cloth. Please see the section
3. Use IPA and a nonabrasive cloth to clean the elevator arms.
4. The following sections will give instructions on how to remove and clean specific parts of the Printer. Please review all
sections before cleaning your Printer to ensure you are properly cleaning each component.
5. Disable each Printer you are working on before performing any cleaning. To do this:
1. Go to the Status tab and tap on the printer card for the
printer you wish to disable. This will expand the card.
