Scheduled Maintenance
WARNING!
Instrument maintenance must be performed only
by Hanson factory-certified engineers. Injury can occur if
untrained personnel service the tester with rear cover removed.
Guidelines for Cleaning Baskets, Beakers, and Bath
Baskets.
Baskets should be rinsed at the end of each test or
succession of tests as required by the laboratory SOP. Baskets
can be rinsed with glass tubes left in place or removed.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to basket assembly components,
fluids used to wash or rinse the dark gray plastic parts should
not exceed 50 °C.
Beakers.
If beakers are to remain out of the bath for an
extended period of time, the red drip cups can be placed into
the bath lid openings to reduce the evaporation rate.
Bath lid.
Any spillage of beaker media onto the bath lid should
be cleaned up immediately. For ease of cleaning, the lid can be
lifted from the bath and washed with lukewarm water and a
sponge.
Waterbath.
The waterbath is easily removed from the tester
after draining with a syphon. Clean the bath using warm water
and a soft cloth, no detergents.
WARNING
! The use of cleaning agents or chemicals to clean
the waterbath or the lid may damage the plastic which will void
the warranty.
