Cleaning Feed Tires

[CT Copier Repair]

WD40 only WD40
if WD40 doesn't get you good feed replace them
I clean them once and note it on the machine
next call for jamming they get replaced

Speaking of WD-40, I've always used it to clean the factory grease from spring clutches after it breaks down and starts getting sticky.

One good cleaning, then coat with the light grease of your choice.

Been using a solution of 50% simple green 50% water. Then hit them with a little alcohol. Works good.

Alcohol dries out rubber.

yap ur right alcohol dries rubber its much better to clean them with soap and water

I use diluted Simple Green for dusty/dirty feed tires.

As for WD-40...the last of our gallon of Fedron ran out about a year ago and not getting anymore. WD-40 has been a good substitute but just not the same capabilities as fedron. Also, I have not been able to carry it in my tools. I use the small glass Tester paint bottles and it will leak out regardless. I have to keep it upright in my other tools.
