INTRODUCTION
Regular maintenance
This unit uses consumables or components that will wear off. If a worn-out or deteriorated component
continues to be used, it may cause the unit to break down. To prevent this, perform routine mainte-
nance using the head-cleaning tape. With the head-cleaning tape alone, however, the entire tape-wind-
ing mechanism cannot be completely cleaned.
Perform regular maintenance of the components as shown below.
Regular maintenance
The tasks of maintenance involved are similar to that of replacing the engine oil or tire of a car.
Depending on the number of usage hours, inspect or replace the components as follows:
Number of hours
Drum assembly
(including head)
Tape guide, roller
Belt gears
Drive system parts
Usage Time
Maintenance consultation
