Document "Using the 3M 3.5" head cleaning diskette kit"
"Recommended usage: After 40 hours of operation." 

[Note: Tab as described following, is a transparent plastic cover
over the head access slot on the top side of the cleaning diskette. 
On single sided drives the top of the drive has a felt pad, NOT a 
read/write head. Do NOT allow contact between the rotating cleaning
diskette and the felt-pad or the diskette will DAMAGE the felt pad.
- Herb Johnson 2025]

HOW TO USE: [page 1]

The 3M 3.5" head cleaning diskette can be used on both single and dual headed
drives. Once it is used for dual-headed drives it cannot be used on
single headed drives or it WILL cause damage to the drive. CAUTION: the
head cleaning fluid is flammable and irritating to the eyes. When not in use,
keep the bottle(s) tightly closed and away from children.

1. Single-headed drives- 
tab remains in place. 

2. Dual-headed drive. remove tab.

3. Dispense six (6) drops
of cleaning solution
onto the fabric exposed
by the head access slot
on metal hub side of the
diskette.

5. Engage head(s) for
30 seconds by:
A. Typing "DIR" (and
specifying drive to be
cleaned).
B. Repeating procedure
two (2) more times.

6. Remove diskette.
Check usage on label.
When not in use, keep
bottle(s) tightly closed

7. Place cleaning diskette
and dispenser bottle in
reusable plastic storage
caddy. Keep handy in
diskette storage file.


SUGGESTIONS FOR USAGE:

Because various computer models access their diskettes differently, specific
methods must be used for each distinctive machine type to clean the heads
properly. The goal is to cause the drive to try to read the head cleaning diskette
for a total of 30 seconds. Since the head cleaning diskette has a different
texture, it will cause a louder noise than a regular diskette and some kind of
read error may be displayed on the screen. This does not mean that the diskette
is harming your system. In fact, the cleaning fabric is less abrasive than industry
specifications for actual magnetic recording media.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Determine whether you have a single~· or dual-headed drive and prepare
the cleaning diskette for use according to the type of drive you have as
directed on page 1.
2. Boot up the system.
3. Insert the cleaning diskette in drive to be cleaned.
4. Direct your system to this drive.

Below are prompts to keep the drive running for the needed 30 seconds for .
some of the major computers:

For Hewlett Packard follow steps 1-4 above, then:

5a. The computer will try to read the cleaning diskette. It will not find any
applications and will display that message on the screen. Direct computer
to "reread applications."
5b. Reread 2 more times. This will be sufficient time to clean the head.

For IBM, Data General follow steps 1-4 above, then:

5a. Direct your system to do directory at prompt... A> DIR A: or A> DIR B:
5b. In answer to the message "abort, retry, or ignore?", type "R" for retry.
Repeat procedure two (2) more times.

For Apple Macintosh follow steps 1-4 above, then:

5a. You will get a message indicating the disk is unreadable and the system
will ask you to "eject or initialize."
5b. Eject the cleaning diskette and reinsert it repeating the procedure two (2)
more times.
