DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
REMOVING A FADER
1. Make sure mixer is powered off and power supply
is disconnected from back of mixer.
2. To remove the lower faceplate, take off all the
fader knobs and then remove the 4 screws located
on the side of the mixer (2 on each side). Lift up on
the faceplate and it will slide off.
3. Remove the fader to be cleaned or replaced by
unscrewing the 2 outer screws on the fader plate
(removing the 2 inner screws will detach the fader
from the fader plate).
4. Disconnect the fader from mixer by removing the
connector on the bottom of the fader.
REPLACING A FADER:
1. Once the fader has been removed, simply plug the connector into the new
fader.
2. Place fader back in mixer and replace 2 outer screws to secure fader.
CLEANING A FOCUS FADER:
1. Once fader is removed from unit, you will need to separate the fader casing
from the fader itself to have access to inner suspension. The
fader casing is the metal piece that covers 3 of the sides of
the fader. To remove the casing pull apart the two flaps on the
side of the fader and remove casing.
2. Once casing has been removed wipe down the rails with a
cotton swab to remove excess dirt.
3. Lubricant can be applied to the rails. Thinner liquid-like
lubricant is suggested but if you desire a slower or more resis-
tant focus fader you may use grease like lubricant.

After constant scratch use the SA-8 faders may need to be cleaned and lubri-
cated from time to time. This will ensure long life and keep a smooth feeling
throughout the fader's lifetime. Follow the instructions below to lubricate and
clean your faders:
