MX-LCX5 Paper feed tray 1, 2, 3: 200K or 1 year Torque limiter: 800K
(NOTE) Paper feed section roller life
Each roller life is as shown on the left. When, therefore, a certain paper feed unit is excessively used, its life may be expired before the maintenance timing.
Actually, however, different sizes of paper are used with different paper feed trays, and it is quite rare that the roller replacement must be made
before the maintenance timing.
If a certain size of paper must be heavily used, set different paper feed trays for that paper size. This information must be explained to the user.
When servicing, check the use frequency of each paper feed tray, and replace the rollers as needed.
When cleaning the roller, it is advisable to use a cloth with a small quantity of water.
The friction level is smaller in the order of the paper pick-up roller, the paper feed roller, and the separation roller.

[3] REPLACEMENT AND
ADJUSTMENT
1. Removing trays
CAUTION:
• Tray 5 weighs 27 kg (60 lb.) empty. Trays 4 and 6 weigh 20 kg
(44 lb.) each empty.
• To prevent damage to the tray and personal injury, never attempt
to lift a tray alone or without attaching the carrying handles, especially if a tray is loaded with paper.
• Two people on each side of the tray should lift the carrying handles together to lift and move the tray.
• Never remove the tray if the LCT has not been docked to the
copier. Removing the tray while the LCT is standing alone can
unbalance the LCT and cause it to fall over.
Important:
Only one set of carrying handles is attached to the side of Tray 5.
Follow the procedure below to attach and use these handles to
move Tray 4, 5, or 6.
