7.2 

Life cycle of the ultrasonic cleaner 

The ultrasonic tank and particularly the ultrasound transmitting surfaces are wear parts. The 
changes on the surfaces that occur after a certain operating period are visible first as grey areas 
and later on as material abrasions, the so-called cavitational erosion. 
In order to slow down the wear and tear as far as possible we make the tanks of a special highly 
cavitation-proof stainless steel. 

To prolong the service life of your ultrasonic unit even more we recommend to observe the 
following instructions: 

  Gently clean the surfaces from any residues of removed contamination, in particular of 

polishing pastes, metal particles, and flash rust (wipe, rinse, etc.). Any abrasive particles 
from removed contaminations (e.g. polishing pastes) must be cleared away as often and as 
thoroughly as possible (replace the cleaning bath). 

  Use suitable cleaning chemicals, with particular caution concerning the kind of removed 

contamination (see instructions 

Section 6.2 

Note on 

Risk of damage to the ultrasonic tank!

 

and information thereon). 

  Abrasive particles from removed contaminations (e.g. polishing pastes) must be drained and 

removed from the cleaning tank as frequently as possible (exchange the cleaning bath). 

  Exchange the cleaning liquid regularly. 

  Do not operate the ultrasound unnecessarily; switch off after the cleaning process. 

 

7.3   

Repair 

 

Repair and maintenance works which require the unit to be 
connected and opened must be carried out by authorised and 
specialised personnel only. 

Risk of electric shock due to live parts inside the unit! 

Pull the mains plug before opening the unit! 

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage 
caused by unauthorised maintenance or repair works on the 
unit. 

In case of a break-down of the unit please contact the 
manufacturer or your supplier.
