Maintenance and service -
MoviPol-5

Proper maintenance is required to achieve the maximum up-time and operating lifetime of the
machine. Maintenance is important in ensuring continued safe operation of your machine.

The maintenance procedures described in this section must be carried out by skilled or trained
personnel.

Technical questions and spare parts

If you have technical questions or when you order spare parts, state serial number and
voltage/frequency. The serial number and the voltage are stated on the type plate of the machine.

9.1

Before each use

Check the machine before each use.

If you hang or carry the machine by the shoulder strap, make sure that the strap is intact and that
the buckle is correctly fastened.

9.2

Battery pack

CAUTION

Make sure that the actual electrical power supply voltage corresponds to the voltage
stated on the type plate of the battery pack.
Incorrect voltage can damage the electrical circuit.

Rechargeable batteries have a limited lifetime which largely depends on use and charging schedule.

To obtain the longest lifetime for the battery pack we recommend these maintenance procedures:

If the battery pack has not been used for 3 months, recharge it.

Do not allow the battery pack to become fully discharged.

9.3

General cleaning

To ensure a longer lifetime for your machine, Struers strongly recommends regular cleaning.

Note

Do not use a dry cloth on the display as the surface is not scratch resistant.

Note

Do not use acetone, benzol or similar solvents.

If the machine is not to be used for a longer period of time

Clean the machine and all accessories thoroughly.
