To recondition the pedestals
1. Open the container of PR-1 compound
and use the provided applicator to remove
a pin-head sized amount of the
compound.
2. Apply a thin, even layer of reconditioning
compound to the surface of the upper and
lower pedestal.
Wait 30 seconds for the PR-1 compound
to dry.
3. Fold a clean laboratory wipe into quarters
and use it to vigorously buff the surface of
each pedestal.
Notice : Support the instrument arm with
one hand while you buff the upper
pedestal to avoid damaging the arm.
Tip : Black residue on the wipe is normal.
4. Repeat step 3 with a new folded wipe until
all residue is removed and the pedestals
buff clean.
5. Use canned air to remove any paper
residue from the pedestals.
6. Pipette 1 µL DI H

O onto the lower
pedestals.
The DI H
