2. Install new O-rings. After
the old O-rings have been
removed and all components
have been autoclaved, the
new O-rings may be installed.
Before installing the O-rings,
apply a thin coat of lubricant
to each O-ring, using the
O-ring lubricant supplied in
the Preventive Maintenance/
Autoclave Kit.
Re-lubrication
• 1250 µl, 850 µl, 250 µl Pipettes: Use the wooden applicator and O-ring
lubricant supplied in the Preventive Maintenance/Autoclave Kit to apply a
thin layer of lubrication approximately 0.5 inches (approx. 1.3 cm) down
into each piston hole that requires it.
Figure F.2.3b:
Re-lubricating 1250 - 250 µl Pipettes
• 125 µl, 30 µl, 12.5 µl Pipettes:
Spread the lubricant directly onto
the pistons, approximately 0.5
inches (approx. 1.3 cm) from the
bottom of each piston (see Figure
F.2.3c)
Figure F.2.3a: Removing O-rings
Spread the lubricant evenly along
the inner wall of each cylinder by
using a circular motion with the
wooden applicator
(see Figure F.2.3b).
