Removing a fader:
1. Make sure mixer is powered off and power supply is disconnected from
back of mixer.
3. Remove the fader to be cleaned or replaced by unscrewing the 2 outer
screws on the fader plate (removing the 2 inner screws will detach the
fader from the fader plate).
4. Disconnect the fader from mixer by removing the connector on the bot-

Cleaning a Penny & Giles fader:
1. Remove 2 mounting screws from fader plate. (NOTE: The P&G fader
is designed with floating mounting threads for precise mechanical cen-
tralizing of the fader. If you desire to keep your fader`s current mount-
ing position we suggest that you make 2 marks on both ends of the
fader on the fader plate to indicate the P&G fader position.) See Figure
1.
2. Once fader is removed from unit, remove the two screws (A) from the
end of the fader body where the wires exit the fader casing. Pull away
the end block. Withdraw the dust cover (B). Taking great care, remove
the slider assembly (C), ensuring that the wiper contacts (D) are not
damaged as this will affect the operation of the fader. Clean the slider
assembly by gently wiping the wiper contacts and slider bearings (E)
using a tissue or cotton bud. If slider bearing
are excessively worn, as indicated by exces-
sive slider rocking then contact Stanton for
replacement.

After constant use the M.304 faders may need to be cleaned and lubri-
