DISASSEMBLY OF THE RATCHET HANDLE FOR FLASH
STERILIZATION
The ratchet handle is a three-piece assembly which can be disassembled to facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance.
• Grasp the handle at the knurled end with the slot in the shaft below the ratchet facing you. Take a blunt
instrument and insert it in the indentation within the slot on the shaft (See Fig. 13) and pull downward toward the
knurled handle. This will release the ratchet, and it should fall out of the assembly. This will expose the next place
to disassemble. (See Fig. 14.)
• Reach into the exposed hole, grasp the pin, and pull it out of the assembly. This completes the disassembly.
(See Fig. 15.)
• Reassemble the instrument by reversing the above procedure.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
The system should be stored under normal warehouse conditions.
