Regular maintenance

This unit uses consumables or components that will wear off. If a worn-out or deteriorated compo- nent continues to be used, it may cause the unit to break down. To prevent this, perform routine maintenance using the head-cleaning tape. With the head-cleaning tape alone, however, the entire tape-winding mechanism cannot be completely cleaned.

Perform regular maintenance of the components as shown below.

Regular maintenance

The tasks of maintenance involved are similar to that of replacing the engine oil or tire of a car. Depending on the number of usage hours, inspect or replace the components as follows:

Number of hours	500H	1000H	1500H	2000H	4000H
