I.8 Preventative Maintenance and Cleaning
Make sure the instrument is in a decent 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 residual sample. 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 spindle from the instrument prior to cleaning. Note left-hand
thread. Severe instrument damage may result if spindle is cleaned in place.
Instrument and Keypad: Clean with dry, non-abrasive cloth. Do not use solvents or cleaners.
Immersed Components: Spindles and guard leg are made of stainless steel. Clean with
non-abrasive cloth and solvent appropriate for sample material
that is not aggressive to immersed components.
When cleaning, do not apply excessive force, which may result in bending spindles.
