LUBRICATION AND ADHESIVE APPLICATION
EPSON recommends lubrication at the points illustrated in Figure 6-2. Table 2 provides a list of these
points, and the recommended lubricant to be used for each. The lubricants-EPSON O-2, EPSON G-20,
EPSON G-26, and EPSON G-37–have all been thoroughly tested and fully meet the needs of this printer.
(Table 6-1 lists details of these lubricants.)
Before applying any lubricant, make sure that the part to be lubricated is clean. Do not apply excess
lubrication, as this can potentially cause damage.
Following its disassembly or replacement, adhesive must be applied to the part indicated in Table 6-3.
EPSON recommends application of
Neji lock #2 (G) adhesive to the point illustrated in Figure 6-1. When
applying the adhesive, be careful that no excess overflows onto nearby parts.
