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.
