6. Remove the holddown plate from the fixed platform

proper cleaning.

7. Clean each piece (push bar, platform, holddown, table
and liner) with warm water and mild soap. Do not use
any type of solvent. When cleaning the platform, avoid
wiping across the two white calibration bars; use a
cotton-tipped swab, wetted with plain water, to clean
the bars.
6. NOTE: If the holddown and/or push bar are extremely
dirty, they may need to be soaked in order to loosen
the dried residue. An extra moving table, holddown,
and push bar are supplied with your instrument so you
can reassemble your instrument while the original
pieces are soaking. The liner is disposable and may
need to be replaced periodically.
CARE OF THE INSTRUMENT
8. Rinse each piece thoroughly and dry with a paper
towel or soft cloth. Allow the calibration bars on the
platform to air dry.
7. NOTE: After cleaning, inspect the calibration bars for
scratches, marks, or discoloration. If the bars can-
not be cleaned, the platform must be replaced (see
Section 9, “Replacement Parts”).
9. If you want to disinfect the parts, do that now,
as instructed in “Disinfection,” found later in this
section.
10. Reinstall the moving table as follows:
10. a. Hold the table with the small rectangular tab fac-
ing to the back.
10. b. Align the two grooves on the bottom of the table
with the edges of the platform on which the table
rests.
10. c. Gently push the table in as far as it will go. It must
be pushed past a detent in order to be correctly
in position.
11. Reinstall the holddown and fixed platform:
10. a. Position the holddown with the arrow side facing
up and the arrow pointing to the back. Place the
pin on the front of the holddown into the hole at
the front of the fixed platform. Then align the tab
at the back of the holddown with the slot at the
back of the platform and snap the holddown into
place. Make sure the white calibration bars are
visible.
