• Always use a dry water-resistant cap. Any water remaining
on the water-resistant cap may cause damage to the
endoscope, maintenance unit or light source.
1. Confirm that the inside of the water-resistant cap is dry and free from debris.
Wipe with a dry, lint-free clean cloth if the inside of the water-resistant cap is
wet or there is debris.
2. Align the EW character (see Figures 9.5 (a) and 9.6 (a)) on the
water-resistant caps with mark 2 on the electrical connector housing and the
ultrasonic cable connector housing. When using a manual disinfector, align
the KC/TD character (see Figures 9.5 (b) and 9.6 (b)) on the water-resistant
caps with mark 2 on the electrical connector housing and the ultrasonic
cable connector housing.
3. Align the pin on the electrical connector and the ultrasonic cable connector
with the grooves on the water-resistant caps.
4. Push the water-resistant caps into position and rotate each of them
clockwise until they stop (approximately 45°).
