Inspection and Cleaning
Inspection and Cleaning describes how to inspect for dirt and damage. It also
describes how to clean the exterior and interior of the instrument. Inspection and
cleaning are done as preventive maintenance. Preventive maintenance, when
done regularly, may prevent instrument malfunction and enhance its reliability.
Preventive maintenance consists of visually inspecting and cleaning the
instrument and using general care when operating it.
How often to do maintenance depends on the severity of the environment in
which the instrument is used. A proper time to perform preventive maintenance
is just before instrument adjustment.
The cabinet helps keep dust out of the instrument and should normally be in
place when operating the instrument.
