24/10/13 Lexmark United States Main Drive Motor Installation Tip

The Main drive motor, with field replaceable unit (FRU) part number 40X7594, comes with a black tape
covering the motor should you order it from Lexmark Parts Center. This black tape prevents any foreign
material from getting into the motor through the air vents. See image below.

IMPORTANT! Do not forget to remove the black tape before installing the Main drive motor into the printer.
Leaving the tape on will block the air vents, causing the motor to run hotter during printing process and may
consequently lead to early failure.

Additional information

Make sure to keep the front door closed when installing the Main drive motor to prevent breaking the left-
side front door hinge pivot. Please see Technical Service Bulletin: TE510 for more information.

If necessary, refer to the printer’s Service Manual for more a detailed removal/replacement procedure. If
further assistance is required, contact your next level of support or Lexmark Technical Support.
