The ACE-142S/142V cabinet requires no regular maintenance to insure continuous and
satisfactory operation. Maintenance is limited to repairing or replacing any cabinet components
that may be damaged or broken in the course of normal operation. The following sections
provide procedures for repairing or replacing common cabinet components.

Brush-in-cap type bottles of paint are available (see Table 2 ) for touching-up nicks and
scratches in the factory coat of paint. Lightly sand the area to be painted and then clean it
thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or foreign matter. Shake the paint bottle until thoroughly
mixed and then apply a light coat of paint to the damaged area using the small brush attached to
the cap. Wait until the paint is dry and then apply a second coat if necessary. When finished
painting, replace the paint bottle cap and tighten securely.
