the'brush'stick'together'and'the'brush'gets'hard.'The'brush'will'become'soft'as'soon'as'it'gets'

arm'after'each'cleaning'session.''
Problem:%Insufficent%liquid%film%at%the%first%cleaning%cycle%
This' is' normal,' because' the' brushes' take'the'liquid' agent'off' the' surface'of'the'record.'
Dispense' more' cleaning' agent' by' keeping' the' operating' button' pressed' until' the' brush' is'
sufficiently'moistened'and'a'uniform'liquid'film'spreads'over'the'entire'record'surface.'From'
the'second'cleaning'cycle'on'a'uniform'liquid'film'should'be'automatically'there.'
Problem:%Insufficient%liquid%film%all%of%the%sudden.%
If' this' happens' the' cleaning' agent' tank' must' be' refilled' or' the' outlets' of' the' brush' arm' are'
