Operational Maintenance
The scanner or scanner/scale will provide dependable service for many
years. The following maintenance procedures will keep your scanner or
scanner/scale operating at peak performance.
Cleaning the Weigh Platter and Scan Windows
. Clean the exterior sur-
faces of the horizontal and vertical scan windows at least twice daily with a
nonabrasive, mild, water-based glass cleaner and paper towels or lint-free
cleaning tissues. The textured plastic surfaces and stainless steel can also be
cleaned using the same cleaning agents.
Cleaning the Air Gap/Debris Chutes & Drip Rail. Daily, clear the
debris chutes (see Figure 2-3) between the platter and the outer housing.
Most items can be cleared from the debris chutes by carefully running a
thin stiff object like a credit card along all sides of the weighing surface. If
necessary, remove the top cover to clear the debris chutes and drip rail.
