This chapter contains information about the manual cleaning and
replacement of the O-Ring.
11.3.1 Maintaining and inspecting the O-Ring
To inspect and maintain the O-Ring, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the O-Ring by performing the Remove O-Ring option from the
Maintenance menu.
2. Rinse the O-Ring under distilled or deionized water. Place O-Ring
between forefinger and thumb and remove any debris by using a
rubbing motion while rinsing under distilled or deionized water.
Soiled and sticky O-Rings can cause the O-Ring removal tool to fail.
• To prevent this, thoroughly clean the O-Ring as described in
Chapter 11.3.1 and Chapter 11.3.4 on a regular basis.
Note: The manual O-Ring cleaning procedure has to be carried out
once a week and should be performed whenever the status message
VACUUM TEST FAIL is obtained, after a self test is performed from the
Maintenance menu or whenever the status message TEST
TERMINATED DUE TO AIR LEAK is printed after a test.
The O-Ring should be replaced once a year.
