cleansers because they may cause damage or discoloration.
4. When replacing, cleaning, or modifying the slipring brush, observe the following
precautions.
* If burrs are found on the brushes, remove them using a cutter. Never use sandpaper
to remove burrs from the brushes. If grains from the sandpaper enter the brushes,
abnormal wear of the brushes may result.
* When removing the cover, be careful not to apply a force to the ring or to damage it.
* Take care not to allow abraded material (powder) to fall in the gantry.
* When mounting the brushes, position them at the center of the ring.
