9.4 Lubrication
Generally: lubricate as sparingly as possible. Avoid the possibility of grease falling
from the spindles as this can badly affect the samples.
Procedure is as follows: set the spindle moving up and down (using Service
Software), then use a paper or cloth to wipe off old grease.
Attention: Do not use any liquids such as Acetone or alcohols, as these may
damage the Pipetting Head Housing.
Attention: Touch Spindles gently!
Ensure spindles are completely dry, and then apply a thin layer of Topas Grease.
Of Pipetting Heads:

However, only if
squeezer nut is brass,
otherwise do not
lubricate!
