6. Maintenance

Clean all accessible surfaces with a moist cloth.
When mounting, some old cured resin will fall down from the
lower ram and build up underneath. The cured resin must be
cleaned away, to stop it harming the machine. The axle journal
securing the lower ram has been designed to break in this case,
thus preventing serious damage to the machine.)
Remove the mounting unit.
Remove the resin under the lower ram with a cloth or a soft
brush.
Install the mounting unit.
Before each mounting, check that there is no resin left on the flat
surface of the rams from previous operations. Clean the cylindri-
cal surface of the upper ram and optional intermediate ram, as
this may cause problems with travel in the cylinder and mounting
the top closure. Cured resin can easily be removed without any
damage to the surface of the rams using the scraper supplied.
If the rams have been scratched on the polished surfaces,
disassemble and polish them with 6 or 3 µm diamonds on a
polishing cloth.
Do not polish the surface on the sides of the rams. If the sides of the rams
are heavily scratched, they must be scrapped.
