Remove any dust, dirt, or sea salt from the external surfaces, particularly the front side of the scanner, with a lint-free cloth dampened with alcohol or water. Do NOT use petrol, gasoline, benzene, thinner, or similar solvent to dampen the cloth as these cause deterioration of the external surfaces.

At least once every six months, apply grease (Mobilux 2 or equivalent) evenly to the lubricating gears, with a brush or knife. More frequent application is desirable to maximize the life of the lubricating gears.

The drive motor brush has an expected life of 2,000 hours. Replace it when half of the overall length has worn away. The drive motor carbon brush can be removed easily by unclipping the two caps located on both sides of the bottom part of the drive motor.

Clean any carbon powder off the drive motor commuter with a dry brush or, if this will not remove it, use sand paper #250 to #400.
