5.8Drive servicing
T here are no official service intervals for drives, but servicing at least once a year is recommended. Servicing can only be performed by a specialist MO drive servicing company.
Moreover, it is absolutely vital to have no smoking in the same room as these drives. T hey are incredibly susceptible to airborne dust and dirt. Cigarette smoke combines the worst of all environments, as it is also sticky. I f you have problems with MO drives and smoking occurs in the same room, this is almost certainly the reason for the problems.
