use.  However, rather than applying inhibitor, cover them with the Dielectric 
Grease included in the WC-9UW Kit.   Any potential problems to these 
assemblies must be reported to the Distributor or Western Instruments for 
instructions on corrective action. 

 

Special attention should be employed to the sealing surface on the inside of 
the Yokes Junction Tube, and the O-Ring seal on the Battery Pack and 
Switch Plunger.  These are the primary seal of the system, and must be free 
of rust, dirt, and any foreign matter.  A supply of O-Rings (42mm x 48mm x 
3mm –ID/OD/Dia.) are included in the WC-9UW Kit, and should be changed 
frequently.  The fit of the Sealing System should be reasonably tight however, 
it there is a “loose fit”, report the problem to the distributor or Western 
Instruments for instructions on corrective action.  Do not operate the unit in 
hazardous environments when the Battery Pack in not fully assembled. 

 

Whether industrial specifications are being observed or not, the Yoke should 
be tested periodically, using certified Pull Test Bar(s) such as the W-Series 
W-PT

, to ensure it continues to lift the specified amount of weight.  If the 

unit fails such a test, first inspect the Pole Pieces to ensure they fully contact 
the test weight.  If the unit continues to fail, contact the Distributor or Western 
Instruments for instructions on corrective action.
