Checks

Periodic Checks
The frequency of maintenance required will be determined by the amount of use the system receives,
the cleanliness of the environment, and the number and nature of the samples being analysed.
Instrument parts that require periodic checks:
•
Nebulizer: Check the wear and tear of the o-rings on the end caps and on the burner head. To
replace the o-rings, see Disassembling the Burner Chamber later in this chapter.
•
Drain System Maintenance: Check for wear and/or chemical attack. The drain tubing should be
clear with as few bends as possible. The drain system should be replaced if it has deteriorated. See
Drain System Maintenance later in this chapter.
•
Burner System: Check for uneven flame and deposits build up along the burner slot.
•
Air Filters: Should be replaced yearly or as needed in a dusty environment.
