A Grease Gun and Lithium-based grease can be purchased from most major Auto Parts stores. Connect
the Grease Gun to the Zerk tting pictured here to lube the Rail Guides. There are 2 Rail Guides per side,
4 total.
3. Lubricate the Bed Rails
To correctly lubricate the Main Rails,
apply a very THIN coat of the same
Lithium-based grease used for the
Rail Guides. Spread the White Grease
along the ENTIRE length of both
Rails using a clean, lint-free cloth.
DO NOT use any other lubricant,
such as WD-40 or Machine Oil, or
you will risk contamination of the
Rail Guides.
DO NOT LUBRICATE DRIVE SCREW
The Drive Screw MUST NEVER be lubricated or wiped off
with a chemical solvent. This is due to a special coating that has
already been placed on the Drive Screw to prevent dust buildup
that could potentially hinder the uid movement of the Printer
Assembly. Treating the Drive Screw will allow dust buildup,
contaminating the drive mechanism.
4. Ink Cartridge Cleaning (Flush)
In order to keep the white ink owing smoothly, a monthly cleaning of the 4 white ink cartridges is
necessary. The CMYK cartridges may need cleaning every 3 months. Ink sediment will build up over time
and can effect the ink ow and may cause clogs and starvation. This procedure will also keep your ink in
a clean environment, which is very important for the white ink to work properly as well as the colors.
Remove a white ink cartridge from the printer and shake (cover breather) to mix as much of the
•
sediment as possible. Pour the ink into the stored ink bottle.
Next, using warm water, clean out the bottle until all parts appear cleaned. Let the cartridge air dry.
•
Rell the cartridge with ink and prime using the priming pump. Refer to• Chapter 3 - Bulk Ink
System for lling and priming steps.
Repeat for the next cartridge.
•
Perform a Head Cleaning Cycle and Nozzle Check to verify the ink is still owing through the ink •
lines.
If the Nozzle Check is far from “good” a Power Cleaning may be necessary, however, if the Nozzle
•
Check is close, perform up to 3 more Head Cleaning Cycles.
