I.7 Cleaning
Make sure that the instrument is in a clean, dry working environment (dust-free, moderate
temperature, low humidity, etc.).
Make sure the instrument is on a level surface.
Hands/fingers must be clean and free of sample residue. Not doing so may result in deposit
build up on the upper part of the shaft and cause interference between the shaft and the pivot
cup.
Be sure to remove the spindle from the instrument prior to cleaning. Note left-handed thread.
Severe instrument damage may result if the spindle is cleaned in place.
Instrument and Display: Clean with a dry, non-abrasive cloth. Do not use solvents
or cleaners. The instrument housing is manufactured from
polycarbonate ABS. Clean instrument housing with mild soap
and water. Do not apply solvent to the instrument!
Immersed Components (spindles): Spindles are made of stainless steel. Clean with a non-
abrasive cloth and solvent appropriate for sample material.
When cleaning, do not apply excessive force, which may result in bending spindles.
