Replacing Moistener Column Pads

IMPORTANT: To enable proper access to the moistener column during servicing remove excessive cotton and leaf trash from the fins and the side of the moistener column, before attempting any servicing procedures.

1. Inspect moistener pads for excessive wear or damage. If excessive wear or damage is evident, replace. If reusing moistener pad, clean holes (A), before replacing.
