Cleaning Cradle Connectors
Use this procedure to clean the connectors on a cradle:
1. Remove power from the cradle.
2. Dip the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.
3. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator along the pins of the connector. Slowly move the
applicator back-and-forth from one side of the connector to the other. Do not let any cotton residue on the
connector.
4. All sides of the connector should also be rubbed with the cotton tipped applicator.
5. Spray compressed air in the connector area by pointing the tube/nozzle about ½ inch away from the surface.
6. Ensure that there is no lint left by the cotton tipped applicator, remove lint if found.
7. If grease and other dirt can be found on other areas of the cradle, use lint free cloth and alcohol to remove.
8. Allow at least 10 to 30 minutes (depending on ambient temperature and humidity) for the alcohol to air dry
before applying power to cradle.
If the temperature is low and humidity is high, longer drying time is required. Warm temperature and dry
humidity requires less drying time.
