Page 48: Maintenance And Cleaning
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING The subsystem doesn‘t contain any components that require regular maintenance. Repairs may only be carried out by RAYLASE or RAYLASE certified service centers because special know-how and comprehensive testing methods are required. RAYLASE offers worldwide certified service and repair centers. -
Page 49: Instructions For Cleaning Lenses And Protective Glasses
The mirror surfaces are extremely sensitive and may only be cleaned by experienced person- nel. We strongly recommend sending the deflection unit in to RAYLASE for the mirror clean- ing, as opening of the deflection unit by unauthorized personnel voids the warranty. -
