‘road Companion: Model |

Clean the machine at least once a week.

Use a dusting

a

soft

enamelling and plating.

Clean the type each morning as a matter of routine, and

Lay

a

Never in any circumstances oil the type-bars.

segment;

move

the

carriage to the extreme right or left, and blow dust
