Maintenance and Repair
4.1.
Cleaning
WARNING:
Turn off the generator and disconnect all cords and cables before cleaning. RF
burns can occur if the generator is connected to power.
4.1.1.
Ensure the fan intake and air exhaust ports are free of dust. Use air to clean, or
moisten a cloth with isopropyl alcohol and wipe away any dust.
CAUTION:
Only use isopropyl alcohol and clean, dry air for cleaning. Other solvents or
liquids can damage the generator.
NEVER submerge the sealing head in any liquid. Liquid damage voids the
warranty on the sealing head and damages the jaws.
4.1.2.
Keep the electrodes in the sealing jaw and tubing clean and dry. To clean the
electrodes, use a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol. Ensure that electrodes are
completely dry before operating the sealing head.
4.1.3.
If tubing material adheres to the electrodes, or if they become corroded, a mild
abrasive cleaner, such as Soft Scrub® can be used to clean the electrodes.
Apply the Soft Scrub® gently with a cotton swab. Remove the Soft Scrub®
