MAINTENANCE
CHAPTER 4:
MAINTENANCE
There is relatively little general maintenance for the SQUIRREL
WORKSTATION 8, but disregarding maintenance will result in long
term problems for the user.
Caring for the WORKSTATION 8
The WORKSTATION 8 and its associated cables and peripherals
should not be immersed in liquids. The risk of liquids spilling on or
around the Workstation should be prevented. The WORKSTATION
8 is designed to
be water-resistant,
NOT
waterproof.
The WORKSTATION 8 should be kept away from high heat
sources such as grills, fryers and heat lamps. Any area that is too
hot for prolonged exposure of your hand (more than a minute) is
too hot for the Workstation.
Cleaning solvents such as gasoline, turpentine and alcohol also
should NOT be used on the Workstation.
Routine cleaning can be performed by wiping the WORKSTATION
8 with a clean
,
soft damp cloth to remove dust and minor stains.
Soap and warm water can be used carefully with a rag to clean
stains. Make certain that the Workstation is powered OFF and that
NO water can drip from the cloth into the openings of the
Workstation. The touch-screen display can be cleaned with a
common household glass cleaner applied with a clean, soft cloth.
Examine the screen area, especially the gaps on the border of the
screen between the touch-screen surface and the plastic housing.
Carefully clean out any crumbs or other debris that could be
“touching” the screen. (An employee badge can be carefully used
to clean out the screen border areas.)
Exhaust vent and fan intake vents must be kept clean of dust
buildup. Clumps of dirt or ‘dust bunnies’ can block airflow and
restricted airflow causes overheating inside your Workstation.
When components overheat, they become stressed and eventually
fail. Overheating caused by dust is the primary cause of equipment
failure over time.
