The supersonic cleaning of a magnetic head apparatus is executed while the control
conductive pattern and the conductive leaf spring are electrically connected by
means of soldering, and the conductive leaf spring is grounded. This makes it possible
to prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charges in the piezoelectric elements
on the magnetic head apparatus, thereby preventing the development of surge current
or reducing the intensity thereof, and reducing the damage to the reproducing elements
and the recording element mounted on the slider of the magnetic head apparatus.
