Maintenance and Care
Following the maintenance and care recommendations in this manual
will provide years of service from the leveling system.
Carry the laser in its moisture-resistant, field-tested carrying case to
safely move the laser from one job to another.
However well the product is designed, mishaps do occur. The most
common problems associated with these are covered in the following
areas.
Storage
CAUTION:
Do not store the laser in a wet carrying case. If the case
gets wet, open it and let it dry before storing the laser.
Battery Disposal
Some states and local areas have regulations regarding the disposal of
batteries. Be sure that replaced batteries are disposed of properly.
System Cleaning
Use only a good-quality glass cleaner and a soft cloth to clean all
external optical components. A dry cloth used on the laser exit windows
may scratch or damage the glass surfaces.
Monthly, wipe off with a moist, clean cloth any dust or dirt from the
laser’s outer surface, inside the battery housing, and within the leveling
base. Blow off any loose debris before cleaning any surfaces to prevent
scratching of optical surfaces.
