3. 

Insert the blue end of the floss from back to 

front  through  one  of  the  probe  channels.  Pull  the 
floss  along  its  entire  length  through  the  channel 
(Figure 53). 

 

Figure 54 

4. 

Proceed  in  the  same  way  with  all  4  probe 

channels. Use the floss only once (Figure 54). 

 

Figure 55 

5. 

Place  the  probe  tip  back  onto  the  probe. 

Make  sure  that  the  plastic  pegs  are  inserted  into 
the appropriate corresponding cavities (Figure 55). 

 

Figure 56 

6. 

Screw  the  probe  cap  back  on  the  probe 

(Figure  56).  The  force  of  tightening  the  cap  will 
tighten the screw sufficiently. Never use tools to fix 
the probe cap! 

If  any  blockage  or  damage  occurs  to  the  sealing 
gasket, the probe system can only be serviced by 
MAICO.
