Cleaning and Care
Every 100 hours of operation ,
or
if tape slips and runs slowly, the
capstan (revolving metal post) ,
head and tape guide should be
cleaned with a cotton-tipped swab
moistened with alcohol (do not
use carbon tetrachloride) . To
clean the capstan , trip the on-off
switch at the rear of the receptacle
with your finger and hold the
swab against the rotating capstan.
OTHER CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Positraction Rear Axle
The optional Positraction pro­
vides · additional traction on snow,
ice, mud, sand, and gravel, par­
ticularly when one rear wheel
is on
a surface providing poor traction.
During normal driving and cor­
nering , the Positraction unit func­
tions as a standard differential.
When one wheel encounters a slip­
pery surface, however, the Posi­
traction directs driving force to the
.
rear wheel having the better
traction.
Power Door Locks
The optionally available power
40
door locks allows you to unlock
or lock your doors by operating
the switch marked
"LOCK" located
on either door panel. The auto­
matic locking mechanism does not,
at any time interfere with manual
operation of any door lock button.
The doors
will not unlock or open
with the inside door handle when
the lock button
is depressed, but
can be unlocked individually by
lifting the lock button.
