The MAC 500/E operates under challenging conditions presented by heat, humidity, dust, and touring. It requires reg- ular cleaning and lubrication to keep performing at its peak. The maintenance schedule will depend heavily on the application and should be discussed with your Martin technician. This section describes basic maintenance. Refer any service procedure not described here to a qualified technician.
