VIII. Maintenance and Cleaning

1. To guarantee trouble-free use for many years it is necessary to clean the dispen-

ser regularly. If there is any sign of a potential malfunction (e.g. piston is dif-

cult to move) never use force. Immediate cleaning should be carried out.

2. Do not leave the dispenser empty without cleaning to avoid clogging the valve

balls! If this does happen soak the dispenser for some hours in cold water or clean

it using ultrasound. Once the piston can be moved, dismantle and remove any

residual impurities by cleaning with a normal solution.

3. The dispenser can be left on the bottle providing the channel system is lled.

4. When changing the dispensing liquid the dispenser should be cleaned.

IX. Repair Service

1. All OPTIFIX

dispensers are made from highest quality materials and are almost

maintenance-free and reliable. If a repair should be necessary, it must be done

by the manufacturer or an authorized service station. This does not refer to parts

available as spare parts (nger guard with piston, volume setting system, discharge

tube set, tubes, adaptors).

2. Before returning the dispenser for repair please make sure that it is perfectly

cleaned to avoid any contamination and include a certicate of decontamination.

3. Please use the dispenser following to the operating manual to be entitled to the

warranty. Repairs must be carried out by the manufacturer or authorized service

stations.

The OPTIFIX

dispensers are calibrated to deliver (EX).

The data for accuracy and precision are established according to the German cali-

bration ordinance (PTB) at a room temperature of +20° C (+68° F) by using distilled

water. When using chemicals with a different viscosity or density recalibration on

an analytical balance is needed.
