Cleaning—body and Front end
Clean the Level TROLL body with water and a soft brush or plastic
scouring pad, or soak overnight in a mild acidic solution, such as
household vinegar.
If the ports in the front end are clogged with silt or mud, try the following:
• Swish the instrument vigorously in a bucket of clean water
• Apply a gentle squeeze of water from a wash bottle
• In severe cases, remove the nose cone and clean out the holes with a
soft brush or pipe cleaner
To avoid damage to the pressure sensor diaphragm,
do not insert any
object into the sensor opening or attempt to dig out dirt or other materials.
If contamination cannot be removed using the recommendations above,
please contact In-Situ Inc. for cleaning.
Damage caused by digging or scraping in the pressure sensor
opening to remove silt, mud, etc. is not covered by the warranty.
