NOTICE
Cleaning Agent Hazard
Cleaning agent coming into contact with the lead screws may result in material damage.
u Do not allow the cleaning agent to come into contact with the lead screws.
• Repeat step two, using a towel dampened with clear water.
This process removes any remaining contaminants.
• Dry all components using a dry towel.
The sample changer must be thoroughly dry before you turn the power on.
10.1.2 Weekly Cleaning
Although cleaning it daily removes spills and contaminants from most of the sample changer
components, it is necessary to clean the sample changer more thoroughly once a week. To
do so, complete the following steps:
• Shut down and unplug the sample changer.
• Wipe loose particles off the Y-Axis lead screw with a dry, lint-free cloth.
The Y-Axis lead screw is a large metal screw located inside the sample changer arm
tubing.
NOTICE
Hazard from Improper Lubrication
Oiling the lead screws will cause gumming, galling, and binding of the gripper assembly.
u Never lubricate the lead screws. The lead screw nuts are compounded with a dry film
lubricant.
• Wipe the sample changer exterior and base until they are clean, using a towel dampened
with a lab-grade cleaning agent, followed by a towel dampened with clear water.
Pay special attention to the slider block and guide rails along the tube of the sample
changer arm.
10.2 Cleaning the Safety Barrier
CAUTION
Cleaning Agent Hazard
Do not clean the safety barrier using solvent or ammonia based cleaning solutions. Using
solvents or ammonia will cause irreversible cosmetic damage. Using a solvent or ammonia
based cleaning solution will void the warranty of the safety barrier.
You will need:
• At least three clean, soft, lint-free cloths or clean-room wipers.
• Cleaning solution. Use a cleaning solution which is labeled for cleaning plastic or acrylic.
You may also use a mild non-abrasive soap and water solution.
