OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
INSPECTING AND CLEANING FAN AND BLOWER FILTERS
Inspect the Filters at the rear of the drive on a 1 - 6 month schedule and clean, if necessary, to ensure that
cooling air flow is not restricted. If the drive is exposed to excessive amounts of dust, decrease the time
between inspection intervals.
Remove dust on the drive's exterior with a dry, lint-free cloth. Dust can migrate to the media cartridge and
cause performance degradation.
CAUTION
Failure to maintain a clean Filter Element can reduce air flow through
the drive. This will create high temperatures in the LF 6600 which may
shorten the life of the drive.
Perform the following procedure to clean the Filter Elements:
1) Set the drive's AC power switch to the OFF ( O ) position and verify that the fan and blower
have stopped running.
2) Remove each Outer Grill Half by grasping its sides and pulling it away from the chassis.
3) Remove each Filter Element by pulling it away from the inside of the Grill.
4) Wash the Filter Element in warm soapy water.
5) Rinse the Element thoroughly and let it air dry.
6) Re-install the Filter Element in the Outer Grill Half.
7) Replace the Outer Grill Half by snapping it onto the inner Grill
