IMPORTANT
Do not clean the following: Pinch rollers, drive belt, service station (except as otherwise noted), PCA and other electronics such as cables and motors.

Lubrication: Cleaning the Carriage Rod is not recommended. If, however, the Carriage Rod was wiped clean, replace the felt washers on the Carriage Assembly. The Felt Washers are impregnated with oil to provide the necessary lubrication for the Carriage Rod.
