PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

The motors used on the Prince Castle Bun Toasters,
require monthly lubrication, 2-3 drops of 3 in 1 oil.
Motors that fail due to the lack of monthly lubrication
will not necessarily be covered under warranty. We
would like to have field service technicians stress
this maintenance requirement whenever failures
occur on these toasters.
