AS NEEDED MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE LIQUEFIER TIPS
The system automatically cleans the tips before and during each part build - using the tip cleaning assembly.
However, occasionally, material may build up on the tips that cannot be removed during the auto-cleaning
process. Remove excess material manually using a brass, wooden-handled brush (included in the Startup Kit).
CLEANING THE CABINET
Use a soft cloth moistened with mild soap and water to wipe down the outside of the cabinet. Do not use
abrasive or high alkaline cleaners on the system. Vacuum all air vents of dirt and debris that would block airflow
through the system.
CLEANING PLASTIC COMPONENTS
Clean the oven door and all plastic components on the outside of the system using mild soap and water.
Commercially available products made for cleaning plastic are also acceptable. Do not use abrasive or high
alkaline cleaners on the system. Avoid streaks by rinsing with clear water and then drying with a soft cloth.
In addition to the above noted user maintenance tasks, Stratasys recommends all F900 systems go through a 1
year PM which addresses lubing and the replacement of wear components and filters, which if not replaced,
may contribute to diminished component life. In addition, Stratasys recommends a 6 month PM on systems with
serial numbers lower than L0140 AND serial numbers listed L0148 through L0151. The 6 month PM primarily
involves lubing of all the moving XYZ axis components.
Please contact Stratasys Customer Support (see
interested in receiving a quote for these services or would like additional information. Failure to adhere to this
schedule could lead to reduced life of XYZ components such as lead screws and bearings.
CLEANING THE OVEN DOOR, CAMERA/LAMP, AND TOUCHSCREEN
DISPLAY
Commercial glass cleaner can be used on the outer surfaces of the oven door and touchscreen bezel because
these items have an anti-scratch coating applied.
Note: Never apply a glass cleaning product to the high temperature glass inside
the oven because discoloration may occur at elevated temperatures.
Use only a 50-50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water to clean the high
temperature glass windows of the oven door and camera/lamp assemblies.
Use the following guidelines for cleaning the polycarbonate oven door window insert:
•
Do not use abrasives or high alkaline products.
•
Do not apply cleaners in direct sunlight or at elevated temperatures.
•
Do not use scrapers, squeegees, razor blades or other sharp instruments.
•
Do not clean with gasoline, acetone or carbon tetrachloride.
•
If scratching should occur, minor abrasions can be removed or minimized using a mild
automotive polish.
•
The glass on the oven door should only be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. This prevents the
glass from producing a film at high temperatures.
