First things first:
It's important to know that LTO cleaning is abrasive - that means you
slowly destroy the tape drive when cleaning it.
These docs are for the LTO4 drives, I was to lazy to look for LTO2 ones.

Clean the drive head whenever C displays on the Single-character Display
and the Status Light is flashing amber once per second. It is not
recommended that you clean the drive head on a periodic basis; only when
the drive requests to be cleaned.
