3.2 Maintenance
3.2.1 Cleaning
3.2.1.1 Internal Chamber
Samples containing biological specimens can harbor infectious agents that are
hazardous to your health. Follow appropriate biosafety procedures: wear gloves
when handling tissue specimens or any material which they come in contact with.
Periodically wipe down the interior of the cabinet with 70-90% isopropyl alcohol
or diluted sodium hypochlorite (5.25%-6.15% household bleach diluted 1:500
provides the proper concentration). Ensure the specimen area, marked on the
chamber floor, is thoroughly cleaned.
3.2.1.2 External Chamber and Table
Periodically wipe down the exterior surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, sodium
hypochlorite, or mild soap and water (see above for appropriate concentrations).
Do not drench or flood surfaces and do not use abrasives which may scratch
surfaces. Do not allow any moisture to contact any of the systems electrical
components. Test cleaning agents on a small inconspicuous area of the plastic
and metal covers to verify they will not damage the finish.
3.2.2 Relocation
The Faxitron Path Table is not designed to be mobile, but if it must be relocated
make sure all four rubber feet are stored fully up by rotating the orange knob all
the way to the left on each caster, so the rubber feet are all the way up, see
Figure 3: Raising And Lowering The Feet. Trying to move the system with the
feet locked can cause the system to tip over.
Additionally, make sure that the system is bolted to the table (as shown in Figure
4: Bolts Securing The System To The Table) before attempting to move the
table.
With the system secured to the table, and the rubber feet fully raised, ensure that
no external cables are attached to the system before relocating.
If moving more than a short distance, only push in the direction shown in the
table warning label.
Once the table is relocated, the feet should be lowered completely until the
casters are off the ground before using the system.
