you do this by pulling a lever on the right side 

 of the carriage. This is to prevent flu 4 spots 

 from developing on the feed rolls and piaten. 



Maintenance 



At regular intervals you should give the 

 typewriter a more thorough cleaning. Frequency 

 of these cleanings will depend on the amount of 

 use the typewriter receives. In general, it is 

 recommended that the following procedures be 

 carried out weekly: 



1. Clean the carriage rails and marginal 

 stop bar, using a cloth slightly moistened with 

 oil. Move the carriage back and forth in the 

 process. 



2. Clean the platen or cylinder. Remove, if 

 possible, and wipe with a cloth moistened with 

 a very small amount of denatured alcohol or 

 cleaning fluid. Do not wipe off; allow the fluid 

 to evaporate. 



3. Clean the type, using a short-bristled 

 brush. Tap lightly with the points of the bristles 

 to loosen the dirt; then brush lightly. 



4. Brush the type bar segments and dust 

 the interior of the machine. Use a long-handled 

 brush, brushing toward the front of the ma- 

 chine. By elevating a few type bars at a time, 



you can reach into the mechanism. Do not force 

 the bars. Use a soft cloth alternately with the 

 brush. 



5. Wipe the sides and back of the machine. 



6. Turn the power off on electric typewriters 

 when they are not being used. 



7. Disconnect the plug on the electric type- 

 writer at the end of each work day. 



If operating instructions for your typewriter 

 are available, they will help you identify its 

 parts and give you additional information about 

 its care. 



If further oiling or repair work is needed, 

 the machine should be turned over to a type- 

 writer mechanic. 



Safety Precautions 



When it becomes necessary to move the 

 typewriter, the following precautions should be 

 taken. 



1. Be sure your typewriter is properly placed 

 on the desk, or secured to the well type of 

 desk, so that it will not fall. 



2. In lifting a typewriter, grip it by its 

 case, NEVER by its carriage. 



3. NEVER attempt typewriter repairs of an 

 electrical nature.
