PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Incubators
Your equipment has been thoroughly tested and calibrated before shipment. Regular preventive maintenance is important to keep your unit

efficiency, it is recommended the unit be checked and calibrated periodically by a qualified service technician.
The following is a condensed list of preventive maintenance requirements. See the specified section of the operating manual for further
details.
We have qualified service technicians, using NIST traceable instruments, available in many areas. For more information on Preventive
