To Inspect and Clean a Probe
1. Check the probe for damage or contamination. Look for excessive wear in the bending
neck, loose strands of the braided weave, or separation of the bonding joints.
2. Clean the probe tip, including the lens on the camera head. Use glass cleaner or 70%
alcohol-to-water solution and a pointed cotton swab.
3. Clean the rest of the probe, including insertion tube and fiberoptic connector. Use a
soft cloth dampened with glass cleaner or 70% alcohol-to-water solution.
To Inspect and Clean a Dust Filter
1. Check to see if the dust filter has become clogged, reducing airflow and preventing
proper cooling.
2. If necessary, remove the filter, rinse it with water, and let it dry completely. Or replace it
with a new filter: part number XLG3AFILTER.
