4. MAINTENANCE
4.1 General
The XenoWorks Micromanipulator requires no regular maintenance.
ƒ
In order to avoid restricted movement of the mechanical, make sure that all cables are
not taught and have freedom of movement.
ƒ
Do not oil the mechanicals.
ƒ
If removed for storage or shipping, press the Setup button on the back of the joystick
before power down so that the shipping screw holes are in alignment. Then install the
shipping screws. If needed, use a screwdriver in the center slot of each motor to fine-tune
the alignment of screw holes.
4.2 Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Solution
1. The micromanipulator is
set on a coarse range of
movement setting (“C”
or “1”).
Change the range of
movement setting (Speed) to
“2”, “3”, “4” or “5”.
2. The micropipette is too
long.
Use a micropipette that is no
longer than about 50mm.
There is excessive vibration
at the micropipette tip
during movement.
3. The micropipette has
not been pushed far
enough into the
micropipette holder.
Ideally, no more than about
40mm of micropipette should
protrude from the front of the
chuck. In practice,
micropipettes with wide tip
diameters (such as holding
pipettes) will be less prone to
vibration and so can extend
further from the chuck than
sharp micropipettes such as
those used for intracellular
microinjection. Push the
micropipette further into the
holder if vibration is
occurring, but do not seat the
back end of the micropipette
on the back surface of the
holder - pull it back out
slightly.
