Use alcohol or an electronic cleaner that dries or evaporates without
leaving a film or residue. Apply the cleaning fluid to a soft cloth and wipe
the full length of both left and right side Y-rails. Push the pantograph back
and forth several times, then wipe the Y-rails again. Repeat a third time if
necessary.
Figure 1-5
NOTE: Never spray an electrical cleaner direct onto the Y-rails. If the
cleaner contacts the peripheral chassis or covers, it may cause damage to the
composite materials.
Once the Y-rails have been thoroughly cleaned, apply fresh sewing machine
oil as shown in Figure 1-5. Push the pantograph back and forth to it's full
extremes to distribute the oil along the Y-rails.
This would also be a good time to check the belt tensions before replacing
the end caps.
