Maintenance
Mini Med Series 0000061122
Maintenance Program
Maintenance of Mini-Medical Processors consists of cleaning and adjustment operations,
routinely performed, to keep the processor operating correctly. Early in the life of your
processor set up a maintenance program, with specific people responsible for performing
each maintenance task.
Maintenance Records
Good preventive maintenance is essential to assure a long and trouble free life for your
processor. Keeping on-going records of maintenance will help assure that the work is
performed when scheduled.
Figure 4-1 is a Maintenance Schedule that lists tasks to be performed at prescribed mainte-
nance intervals.
Figure 4-2 is a Maintenance Log for keeping monthly records of maintenance performed.
Make additional copies and post near the processor.
Cleaning
Cleaning is the most important form of maintenance. If chemicals are allowed to accumu-
late on processor parts they can cause corrosion or other damage which may seriously
affect production and output quality.
Perform daily cleaning, as outlined on the Maintenance Schedule, Figure 4-1, as part of the
shutdown procedure.
Weekly cleaning, described below, should take about thirty minutes following the last shut-
down and daily cleaning.
Do not replace items removed for daily cleaning until after weekly cleanup has been com-
pleted.
Caution: Never use harsh abrasive material to clean racks or processing tanks. Never
use scrub pads such as "Scotchbrite" on rollers.
