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 maintenance using the head-cleaning tape. With the head-cleaning tape alone, however, the entire tape-winding mechanism cannot be completely cleaned. Perform regular maintenance of the components as shown below. Ⅵ 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) Head cleaner Tape guide, roller Reel disk, tension bands 500H 1000H 1500H ⅜⅜ ⅷଁ ଁଁ ଁ - 2000H 4000H - : Inspection ⅜ : Cleaning, inspection and adjustment ଁ : Cleaning and inspection; Replacement if necessary ⅷ : Replacement Work and frequency of maintenance depend on the environment and usage.The above information serves only as a guide.
