  • Page 24: Service

    ERVICE The MAC 250 Krypton requires regular maintenance to keep performing at their peak. Excessive dust, grease, and smoke fluid buildup degrades performance and causes overheating and damage that is not covered by the warranty. The maintenance schedule will depend on the application and should be discussed with your Martin distributor.

  • Page 25: Lubrication

    Lubrication Use only silicone lubricant, Martin P/N 37302003 (500 ml) or P/N 37302004 (200 ml, in applicator bottle). No other lubricant is approved for use. When applying lubricant, always remove excess and do not get oil on other parts. 1 Check the focus mechanism and apply a drop of lubricant to the 3 metal slides if movement is rough.
