transformer, use a cord with the specifications below as the cord between the power source and the transformer.
* Sectional area : Over 5.5mm 2
* Length : Less than 1Om

A. Purpose
Remove the foreign particles inside the pump and stabilize paper feed and delivery.

B. Cleaning procedures

1) Remove the filter of vacuum side 2) Push the pump button. 3) Pour in a cleaning mixture of
and blower side. cleaning solution (70%} and
pump oil (30%) from the vacuum

(Note)

1) Cleaning filters 2) Supply oil in the oil cup


Clean the filter (1) once a month. Supply oil periodically into the
oil cup to keep the bottle (2) filled
with oil at all times.
When supplying oil into the
bottle, use the special pump oil
shipped together with the
machine or the equivalent oil.
(The table of recommended
pump oil and grease is listed in
the operation manual.)

2,__,3mm --Bottle

3) Wick positioning
Position the wick tip so that it is located 2 to 3mm
away from the nozzle. (If the wick tip is completely
in contact with the nozzle or if it is located behind
the ventilation opening, the pump will not be
lubricated and it may seize.)

27
1-8 Lubrication and breaking in
A. Purpose
When the machine is newly installed, do the lubrication and the breaking in to assure long trouble free machine operation.

B. Lubrication
All the main bearings, bushings, and drive sections are lubricated by the automatic centralized oiling system.
The other points must be lubricated by following the lubrication chart.

(Note)
When installing the machine, be sure to lubricate properly and that all the bubbles in the lubrication pipes are removed.

C. Breaking in
When the machine is newly installed, do the breaking in by following Total number of Maximum printing

1. Predampening
When the unit select switch on the delivery section operation panel is ON, run the machine and then
push either the E5J
button or the button.
After that for 8 seconds, the predampening function operates and the water fountain roller will rotate on the
predampening speed.
2. The water motor speed can be checked by the rotation of the idle gear of the water fountain roller (non operation
side) using the rotation speed meter (tachometer) purchased locally. In this case, the water fountain roller
speed is approximately one third the speed of the idle gear. (Example : The water fountain roller speed of 5
rotations per minute is equal to approximately 13.8 rotations per minute of the idle gear.)

the paper feed drum and the CD sprocket are arranged around the double diameter impression cylinder in a satellite pattern.
Each cylinder position relationship and the cylinder bearing section will greatly affect the printing quality, so this is checked
