» Push the appropriate coarse feed button to move the specimen cylinder out to the front stop
position, apply a drop of cryo oil and move the specimen cylinder back to the home position by
pressing the appropriate coarse feed button.
Occasionally, or when required:
• Apply a drop of cryo oil to the clamping piece (t-piece)
and the clamping lever (→ "Fig. 55-3").
• Lubricate the slot cover (→ "Fig. 55-4").
1. To do so, first move the specimen head all the way upwards by turning the handwheel, apply a
few drops of cryo oil to the slot cover.
2. Then, move the specimen head all the way down and apply a few drops of cryo oil to the slot
cover.
3. Distribute the oil by turning the handwheel or using a clean cloth.
• In case of visible pollution (such as dust), clean the air inlet opening
on the bottom right-hand side of the instrument using a brush, broom or vacuum cleaner in the
direction of the louvers.

Do not carry out any repairs on your own as this will invalidate the warranty. Repairs may only be
