CAUTIONS
1.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM MECHANICAL DRIVE COMPONENTS WHEN THE COPIER IS WARM­ING UP.
This is to avoid possible injury when the copier starts idling at the end of warm up.
2.
ALWAYS REINSTALL THE FUSING UNIT COVER AFTER SERVICING.
This is to prevent the operator from accidentally touching the hot unit, or the fusing lamp terminal.

2. only the wire cleaner, use alcohol. Wipe the corona wire several times in the same direc­tion to remove all toner stains.
If copy quality
still does not improve, replace the wire.
Do not use emery paper for wire cleaning,
3. because the corona wire is carbon coated.
Do not touch the corona wire with oily hands.
4. Make sure that the corona wire is correctly
5. positioned between the cleaner pads.
After cleaning the charge corona unit, make
6. sure that there are no threads on the casing to avoid white lines on the copy.
