12. Maintenance
12.1 General maintenance instructions
Overall, the instrument can be considered maintenance-free. To ensure its
trouble-free functioning over a prolonged period of time, we still recom-
mend:
• Have a preventive maintenance done once a year by a service engineer
authorized by Leica.
• Enter into a service contract at the end of the warranty period.
For details please contact your local Leica Service Organization.
• Mop up spilled reagents immediately.
• Clean the instrument on a daily basis (see Chapter 11 "Cleaning") .
• Once a month, lift the carousel cover to its upper end position, clean the
carousel axle with a cleaning cloth and subsequently apply a thin coat
of machine oil.
• Never attempt any repairs on the instrument of wax baths on your own
- by doing so you will loose any warranty claims!
Only Leica service technicians are authorized to open the instru-
ment for maintenance and repair work.
