Procedure 6.10 – Cleaning the Fluid Collection Canisters
The cleaning should be perfumed as close to the docking station as possible.
The technician will be required to manually dock the rover using technician mode to
drain fluid from the rover during the cleaning procedure.
1. Dock the rover in technician mode and ensure all fluid is removed from both
canisters.
2. Remove the front cover.
3. Remove all fittings and connections from the small and large canister caps.(to
include electrical connections)
4. Remove the transducer rod from the small canister.
5. Disconnect the small v-clamp and remove the small canister cap.
6. Disconnect the large v-clamp and remove the large canister cap. Make sure
to leave the large canister cap connected to the small canister.
7. Spray the large canister with Neptune Cleaner. Using the cleaning brush
packaged with the cleaner, remove any buildup in the canister by scrubbing
the sides. Reapply cleaner as necessary.
8. Once the large canister is free from debris and buildup, Place the large
canister cap and small canister back on top of the large canister.
9. Secure the large v-clamp that holds the two canisters together.
10. Make sure to leave the small canister cap OFF of the canister. Insert the
transducer rod that was removed in step 4. This will prevent fluid from leaking
out while cleaning the small canister.
11. Spray the small canister with Neptune Cleaner. Using the cleaning brush
packaged with the cleaner, remove any buildup in the canister by scrubbing
the sides. Reapply cleaner as necessary.
12. Once the small canister is free from debris and buildup, dock the unit in
technician mode and drain the fluids. This is accomplished by opening the
drain valve to empty the fluids in the small canister and then turning on the
offload pump in the docking station to remove the remainder of the fluids from
the large canister.
13. Once all the fluid has been removed, undock the rover.
14. Remove the transducer rod, and reinstall the small canister cap and v-clamp.
15. Insert the transducer rod.
16. Reconnect all fittings, wiring harnesses, and connections that were removed
earlier in step 3.
