12 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES

The ACE-142S/142V cabinet requires no regular maintenance to insure continuous and satisfactory operation. Maintenance is limited to repairing or replacing any cabinet components that may be damaged or broken in the course of normal operation. The following sections provide procedures for repairing or replacing common cabinet components.

12.1 Painting

Brush-in-cap type bottles of paint are available (see Table 2) for touching-up nicks and scratches in the factory coat of paint. Lightly sand the area to be painted and then clean it thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or foreign matter. Shake the paint bottle until thoroughly mixed and then apply a light coat of paint to the damaged area using the small brush attached to the cap. Wait until the paint is dry and then apply a second coat if necessary. When finished painting, replace the paint bottle cap and tighten securely.

12.2 Adapter Replacement

Replacement adapters are available for the connector panels. Use the following procedure to remove and replace a damaged adapter:

1. Disconnect the splitter connector from the front side of the adapter as shown in Figure 39.
