Safety features
•
The fluid reservoir tank has a built-in sensor. This will shut off the machine automatically
when the tank is full, to prevent any damage. This will happen when there is approx. 350 ml
of fluid in the tank. Please empty tank as described above.
Note: make sure that you have switched off the vacuum motor, as the machine could start
to vacuum automatically should the sensor reset while you are emptying the tank. Da-
mage to the machine could occur if this happens.
The machine will be ready for use once the
tank is emptied. However, the standard drain down procedure, i.e. after 20-30 LP’s is the preferred
method.
•
The vacuum motor has a built-in temperature sensor. If the internal temperature of the
machine becomes too high, it will cause an automatic shut down. In this case, please switch
the machine completely off and
wait at least 30 minutes
before using it again
Useful hints and recommendations
•
Keep your RCM clean! Mop up any excess fluid that goes onto the top off the unit.
•
Rinse out the cleaning brush in warm water. Avoid any build up of dirt.
•
Maintain the velvet strips on the vacuum tube. Regularly check for dirt, wear and damage.
•
Make sure there is no build up of debris and after each cleaning session, brush off with your
finger or a soft child’s toothbrush, is ideal. Change strips after approx. 200 sides – more
often if required.
•
Really old and dirty records will benefit from being cleaned several times.
•
Always replace the inner sleeve, the FIRST time you clean a record.
