Initial Maintenance

AMAYA OS provides timers that will prompt you when you need to perform maintenance on your machine.  However, it is recommended that you lubricate all points after setting up your AMAYA.  This will ensure that your machine is properly lubricated for operation.  To use the step through instructions provided by AMAYA OS, select Tools > Settings > Timers Tab. You will notice that each timer has a corresponding Step button. When you click this button, you will be led through the maintenance steps for that timer. When you successfully complete the steps for a timer interval, the timer will be reset.

You can also use the written procedures provided in this manual to perform the initial maintenance.  Click here for these procedures.
