MAINTENANCE FOR MULTICHANNEL MODELS
|
PIPETMAN L®
Change the Seals
The O-ring and seal are on the piston; if worn or damaged in any way (chemical or mechanical), they must
be replaced. As the models P2L and P10L, F1L, F2L, F5L and F10L contain miniaturized parts, it is best not
to disassemble these pipettes yourself, please contact your local Gilson-authorized Service Center.
The dimensions of the O-ring vary depending on the model of pipette.
1.
Remove the tip ejector (refer to
Change the Tip Ejector
, page 14).
2. Unscrew the connecting nut by turning it clockwise.
3. Carefully separate the lower and upper parts.
4. Remove the piston assembly, O-ring and seal.
5. If necessary clean the piston and replace the seal; lubricate them lightly. Please place them in the
correct order.
6. Reassemble the pipette (refer to the figure 18, on page 15).
7. Tighten the connecting nut (turn counter-clockwise).
8. Refit the tip ejector (refer to
Change the Tip Ejector
, page 14).
