Ok, I'll NOT clean the head then.....
Interesting link, I'll print the docs out tomorrow at the office.
In the mean time, I did disassemble the blower section and cleaned part
of it (lots of dust). The motor is making a lot of squeeking sounds, so
I greased the top ballbearing, the bottom one is a little more difficult
do, as the blowerfans are covering part of the motor.....
Thanks,
Ed
