Introduction

You can replace the lubricators without service assistance. The operator panel gives an orange warning when you can replace the lubricators.

Use Océ Colorado 1640 prescribed:

  • Nitrile gloves for handling ink

  • Bracket with two lubricators and pins (2x)

  • Crosshead screwdriver

  • Lint free cloth (optional)

CAUTION
  • Wear the prescribed Océ Colorado 1640 nitrile gloves.

  • You can wear the Microflex gloves for an hour after they have been contaminated with ink. After an hour you must put on new gloves.

  • You can only wear the Ansell Touch N Tuff gloves for ten minutes after they have been contaminated with ink. After ten minutes you must put on new gloves.

NOTE
