2. Use a small amount of alcohol-based, non-abrasive cleaner on a disposable, lint-free
cloth to wipe all dust from the drive assembly, including the motor.
(There might be some residual grease around the pivot bar. Clean that area last.)
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dry foreign material from the suspension well,
and wipe away any remaining material with a disposable, lint-free cloth.
Lasers
Occasionally clean the lenses of the navigation laser, low laser and any other lasers used on
the payload.
Use only a soft cloth with alcohol-based, non-abrasive cleaners, and wipe thoroughly.
After cleaning, inspect the lens for cracks, scratches or abrasion.
Docking Station Contacts
The two docking station contacts need occasional cleaning. The suggested interval is 3 – 6
months, depending on frequency of charging.
WARNING: ELECTROCUTION RISK
Unplug power from the docking station before starting. Remove the power
cord.
Clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol.
CAUTION: PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK
!
Do not lubricate the docking station paddle because it reduced reduce its work-
ing life.
Lubricating ESD Casters
The ESD casters require regular lubrication every three months and inspection to make sure
that they rotate freely in both axes.
If the casters fail to rotate, it can affect navigation accuracy and reduce operational duration.
The AMR might waste battery power in the differential drives, attempting to overcome prob-
lems with sticking casters.
Examine casters for wear or damage during the lubrication procedure. See: Cleaning
ESD Casters on page 156.
