10. MAINTENANCE AND NOTES (1) Removing the attachment After measurement, remove the pipette and accessory by the following procedure. When storing the main unit, allow of the Leak Tester to equalize to atmospheric pressure. 1. Remove the pipette from the attachment.
Page 19
3) Main unit Push the cover in the AC adapter jack and push the air plug in the connector hole (right and left side), so that dust can not invade the main unit. 4) Storing the attachment and adapter Store the adapter and attachments in the sealed bag.
Page 20
Check the main unit regularly, replace the filter element or filter unit if necessary. Turn the power supply of the main unit off by removing the AC adapter. And after returning the inside of the leak tester to atmospheric pressure by removing the pipette, follow this procedure.
