the fader life and eliminate any potential damage due to extended heavy usage. RM THREE Professional performance mixer
Cleaning Instructions
1. Remove the fader to be cleaned by unscrewing the outer screws (removing
the 2 inner screws will detach the fader from the fader plate) and disconnecting
the cable coming from the mixer.
2. Spray a small amount of cleaner or lubricant into both ends of the fader and
slide the fader back and forth a few times to spread the fluid evenly throughout
the fader.
3. Shake and wipe off excess fluid before re-assembling the fader.
