HP DesignJet 5000 Series Printers Service Manual
Slider Rods Lubrification Kit
In addition to the wearing of the Scan-Axis Motor, the friction in
this area can increase due to the accumulation of ink particles and
dust from the media or the atmosphere in the vicinity of the Slider
Rods.
Scan-Axis maintenance requires the cleaning of the Slider Rods
properly, and a lubricant to apply onto the Rods. Use the User’s
Slider Rods Lubrification Kit to do this.
NOTE The most important parts to keep clean are the upper and
internal sides of the Rods.
NOTE Power Off the Printer and remove the Power Cord.
1 Insert a new cleaning pad in the cleaning tool.
2 Apply 50 drops of the oil supplied to the pad.
3 Slide the cleaning tool along the Slider Rod until it is well oiled.
4 Replace the cleaning pad and repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second
Slider Rod.
