6.4 Cleaning
To the degree possible, the system should be kept in a clean environment, away from dirt, dust,
oil and debris which could affect system performance or degrade the system’s mechanical and
electronic parts. If a clean environment is not available, the machine should be kept as clean and
protected as is possible. In harsh environments, preventive maintenance and factory service
should be scheduled more frequently to keep the system in top working order.
WARNING:
Never pour fluid on the system when cleaning. Do not over-wet cleaning
cloth. Excessive moisture can seep into mechanical or electrical parts, damage the
equipment and possibly cause an electrical short circuit and physical injury. As a
precaution, unplug the system if needed before cleaning the system. Always unplug
the system before using any flammable cleaning fluid.
6.4.1 Cleaning External Surfaces
Wipe down with a clean, lint-free cloth moistened (not wet) with plain water or Simple Green®.
Never wipe down with acetone or other harsh solvents, which may damage painted or plastic
surfaces. Isopropyl alcohol may be used to clean surface contaminants where Simple Green
proves ineffective.
6.4.2 Cleaning
Optics
WARNING:
Do not touch lens surfaces with your fingertips, since the resulting
fingerprints will destroy optical coatings over time. Only clean optical surfaces with
proper cleaning supplies, and then only when necessary.
