Maintenance

Slurry Cup

After every test, immediately disassemble the slurry cup and clean it

thoroughly with soap and water. Be sure to remove any residual cement

before it hardens. Hardened cement on any of the parts can cause

irreparable damage.

Test Cell

After every test, examine the inside of the test cell for any cement or other

debris. If necessary, wipe the inside of the cell with a rag or paper towel.

Oil Filter

If oil is not flowing from the oil reservoir to the pump, it may be necessary

to replace the oil filter.

1. Open the back panel of the main unit cabinet and locate the oil

filter fixture.

2.

Open the fixture, remove the filter, and replace it with a new one.

To reduce the risk of damaging the piping around the fixture, you

can completely remove the entire fixture from the unit. Once you

have replaced the filter, be sure to re-install the fixture with the oil

flow directed downward. An arrow printed on the side of the fixture

shows the direction of the oil flow.
