16. Maintenance and Transportation
16.1 Maintenance
Use a soft damp cloth containing a neutral detergent to clean the balance.
Avoid using organic solvents, chemicals, or dusting sprays as they may damage the coatings
of the balance or the display panel.
Attach the protective in-use cover (standard accessory) when the balance is used in an
environment where it is susceptible to being soiled.
The pan can be removed and washed with water. Verify that the pan is completely dry before
replacing it on the balance.
16.2 Moving the Balance
To carry the balance, hold the balance firmly with both hands.
To transport the balance, use the shipping carton used to deliver the balance.
For UW balances: Before placing the balance into the shipping carton, remove the pan
and pan supporter caps and verify that the transportation screws in the
bottom of the balance have been tightened
clockwise until they stop.
Refer to 4.3.
For UX balances: Remove the pan and pan supporter caps and place the balance in the
packing case as it was shipped.
Failing to tighten the transportation screws, placing the balance on its side when turning
the transportation screws, or failing to remove pan supporter caps before placing the
balance upside down may cause serious damage to the mechanism.
