Mechanical Checks Before Switching On; Installing The Aerosol Cover - Thermo Scientific Wellwash User Manual

Mechanical checks before switching on

Before switching the instrument on:
•
Move the wash head arm up and down, and the plate carrier back and forth to ensure that they
move freely (Figure 19).
•
Lift the wash head arm up and move the plate carrier under the wash head. Lower the wash head
arm, with the wash head in place, so that the tips touch the plate carrier. Then move the plate
carrier until the tips are aligned with the small circular indentations on the surface of the plate
carrier. Check that the outermost tips in the wash head are directly above the indentations to
ensure that the wash head arm is at right angle to the plate carrier.

Installing the aerosol cover

The transparent aerosol cover may be present (Figure 20) or absent during operation. The aerosol
cover primarily protects the user against biohazardous aerosols and the site against environmental
contamination. Figure 20 shows the aerosol cover being installed. The corners have magnets for
quick magnetic mounting of the cover.
