5.2 Exchanging Vacuum Plate with Glass Plate
The factory installed vacuum plate may be replaced in the field with an op-
tional glass plate (accessory #2127, see “
To exchange the plates follow these instructions:
1.
Remove the weight and the push-bar.
2.
There are 4 screws, one at each corner of the plate. Remove these screws.
These same screws will be used with the new plate.
3.
Lift off the plate. Note the position of the 4 aluminum spacers.
4.
Set the glass plate support on the spacers.
5.
Install the 4 screws to hold the plate. Start each screw in the threads, then
tighten all four.
6.
For the glass plate support, make sure the corner pads are clean of dirt and
dust, then place the glass in position under the paper clamp.
7.
Reinstall the weight and the push-bar.
8.
Set the other plate aside. Store the plate is such a way as to protect the
surface of the plate.
5.3 Cleaning and Routine Maintenance
Care should be taken to avoid letting coating materials into the vacuum plate
holes. If cleaning is needed the holes can be cleaned with a solvent appropriate
for the coating material and a wooden toothpick.
Metal tools should be avoided as they may damage the aluminum vacuum
plate. Clean the rest of the instrument with a mild commercial cleaning solu-
tion or plain soapy water.
Avoid solvents on the cover and the keyboard area as they may be discolored
or otherwise damaged by strong solvents.
